The gist of it is this:
-you make an account with your information
-then you make a wanted list
-you can use the catalog to search for pretty much every piece ever created and wich colours it comes in
-on the page of whatever part you want click "add to wanted list" (you can then choose the amount you need if you want. You can also choose the colour you want, but make sure it exists since you can manually put a piece in your wanted list in a colour even if it doesn't exist in that colour)
-once you have a wanted list with all the pieces you need you can “search by wantedlist”
-it’ll search all the people that sell pieces on bricklink, and show you what people have the pieces in your wantedlist
-These are all different people and stores mind you. Always read their terms and splash page to see if they have a minimum buy or how they calculate prices, how they ship stuff and what payment options they use etc.
-the addicting part is you can also browse whatever it is that seller has in store.
>you're paying for shipping anyway right?>5 hours and 40 bucks worth of hats later...-once you have have your cart full you finish up payment and shipping options
-your bricklink account has a "orders" page where you can see all your orders and what the seller is doing right now (pending, processing, packed, shipped) Eventually they will send an invoice, only then do you pay for it.
-Once you've paid, you go back the orders page and click the "paid" box so the seller can check and send your crack

-POVERTY
-but also AWESOME KLOCKI
>>6254914I understand.
The way i did it is like this anon said
>>6254917If you remember what set it came in, look up the set and browse through its "inventory" to see all the pieces it came with.
But if i were you i'd also just take a time to look at all the parts subcategories in the catalog.
Just click on them and give them a quick scroll to sort of get the logic of the taxonomy.
