Your question is more intriguing to me than the predictability of the dropped
LEGO coming to rest. It goes to our nature. Which I believe is the among the
last things we'll come to fully understand, ourselves

I drop a
 
Part No: 3001  Name: Brick 2 x 4
* 
3001 Brick 2 x 4
Parts: Brick {Green}
on the floor it slides under the table between two stacks
of shoeboxes and becomes invisible without the use of a flashlight.

Then I drop a
 
Part No: 98138  Name: Tile, Round 1 x 1
* 
98138 Tile, Round 1 x 1
Parts: Tile, Round {Green}
it lands on its edge and stays right where it landed,
easy to pick up.

I don't know why.

AAAAAAhhhhhh.... Ah ha! I was using hotkeys, not the "copy values from
document" in the menu.

That did the trick, thank you so much!

The trick with BrickStore, like many applications you discover: do NOT try it
on production, but use silly files or imaginary examples (I would part this out,
I would have those parts...), and try EVERY menu and field and function. Just
practice on dummy cases and files to figure out what will help you in production

  Instead:
* keep the file with the 5x sets and the price you set

Upload the 4x, tada

I think I stopped trying the cut and paste a few versions ago when something
went horribly wrong. Despite highlighting the entire column when I pasted whatever
data I wanted copied it applied the first value only to all 900 lots. I'll
try it again when I get home.

I just tried, it works.

But you've to start form the 4x set list, select the 5x list as the source,
ignore everything BUT price.

Works in 1 click.


PS: you don't have to select anything anywhere.

It'll copy the values you ask, to all lots of the target document that exist
in the source document.

Just try on a throwable document with prices like $1 $2 $3 or such easy to check.

  Taking in to consideration the recent thread about accidentally inflating prices,
I spent some time looking at the most desirable parts from a set I'm preparing
to part out 5x of. Half the set was adjusted up, half the set was adjusted down
from the 6 month average.

Then I decided I wanted to give one of them to someone as a gift. So is there
a hack in Brickstore to adjust the quantities down by 20%, or should I just upload
5 and then upload another one at -1?

It's not the end of the world if it's too much of a PITA.

Start over because you love this job so much

HA! I don't know why I'm so obsessed with it.
