Buying from Bricklink
I am completely new to Bricklink and the Studio programme, however I have (stupidly) decided to makemy first model, a model of my own house. I have finished it now and it is 4350 parts, 449 lots, estimated price £663.
I would now like to try and buy it, however I have run into a few issues, so I have some questions regarding the Bricklink Store as per below.
-
No matter how many times I click show me stores that buy in Pound Sterling, it insists on showing me Euros. Any way to easily change that?
-
When it does the search of all stores worldwide, sometimes the top right hand corner says 4276/4350 assigned (98%). Does this mean that there are 74 parts that are just not available anywhere?
-
Sometimes, the assigned goes over 100%. Does this mean that I will be sent excess parts as they have been bundled in lots that are bigger than I need?
-
Following on from 2, if I buy those parts and check out, does my Wanted List update to just those 74 parts so I know which parts I am still missing?
-
All of the prices of the stores omit shipping. If I understand correctly, I go to check out with each of the stores (there are 37 stores, god help me) and wait for them all to come back with a quote for shipping, which I accept then pay?
I am finding all of this quite complicated, so any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
