Why not update imported BrickStock prices using the +% feature?

It would be useless to business users if it included tax, with all the different
tax rates globally it wouldn’t work for anyone.

The "Part Out" tool feels very outdated, and is tedious to use. One accidental
click on a link, and you loose every data you have put in for each lot.

I know there are third party software used to upload parts to your inventory,
but think a much more powerful way to part out set should be offered by BrickLink.
Maybe a software you download to your computer, but it could also just be a massive
redesign of the existing tool online.

What I miss the most is easier ways to manage lots that already exist in my inventory.
I don't want to open a new page just to check the remarks for a certain lot,
because if I forget to open that link in a new tab I will loose all progress
made with the other lots. This information should be visible on the same page,
or I should be able to open it in a pop-up window.

When parting out huge sets with thousands of pieces, it would also be nice to
be able to save the progress and continue later. Maybe there should be one upload
button for each lot, so I don't have to go through the entire list first
and then submit all changes at once.

There are of course lots of different features that could be implemented to make
the Part Out tool even more powerful, like more advanced ways to set up automatic
prices, like 10% below average etc.

Brickstock. Best $20 I spent. Super Easy. Do I wish it did more, of course,
but it does enough to satisfy me.

Yep, Brickstock is US oriented so it works for you, not for us

Prices exclude
VAT, so it renders it useless to me. I'd rather go through the Bricklink
part out process, have it crash, throw away my progress with a misclick, and
some other frustrations than to end up with prices that are off. It sounds like
everyone has slightly different wishes about what they like to see exactly in
the update, but making the BL part out process have all the benefits of Brickstock
would probably be a great place to start. That way European sellers can benefit
from all the benefits of Brickstock as well.

Which ones?

Look at the “new” (3 year old) Wanted List features: We can’t merge WLs, we
can’t intersect WLs, we can’t manage our own inventory without becoming a seller….

Okay, you're probably right. I haven't used those features much at all,
I've just noticed that everything has been updated to the new design and
there are at least a couple new features that I didn't have when I first
used BrickLink many years ago.

There are certainly improvements that could be done to buyers features as well.

I do not quite understand what all the griping is about concerning the Part Out
function. To me, it is one of the precious few parts of BL that the current Admin
regime has actually not made a mess of. It works quite well for me.
It is not tedious; I enter the set #, quantity and any default comments. I
always set it to add to existing current inventory if parts match, and go from
there. I simply use the same default message, unless there is a rare case where
I need to differentiate a lot. For those I almost always upload manually.
There are far more pressing deficiencies that need to be rectified on this
site.
My 2 cents.
