out myself. Listing it without a head, hair or torso? Really? Just part it out

Because, at least in my experience, people buy incomplete minifigures. People
rarely buy minifigure parts.

| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Add 15 Part 4589b Dark Blue Cone 1 x 1 with Top Groove (Alternate) (match ID 9)
Comments from Submitter:
I have sets 7094-1 and 7079-1. Both ostensibly contain part 4589, not 4589b. Those are the only sets I own with Dark Blue 4589 or 4589b. The only version of the part I have is 4589b. 7079-1 has been noted as having 4589b as an alternate part. Based on my inventory, and based on 7079-1, it appears that 7094-1 also has 4589b in Dark Blue as an alternate part, too. This change request is to rectify that omission.

| Please exclude all superlot entries from the Price Guide. There are too many
people who do superlots with one item for some insane price, then list all other
entries for a penny or something. That ends up screwing up the averages for everything
in the superlot. If superlot items were just excluded from the Pricing Guide,
then it won't prevent anyone from doing their preferred pricing, while not
harming the pricing averages.
Note that this even helps with other pricing strategies, as the general use is
to price the individual items lower than they otherwise would be, which still
screws up the averages.

No, it would quickly push prices down to nothing.
This and similar have been discussed before. The flaws outweigh any benefit.

What you are describing is not a "flaw". It is called "market pressure" and it
is going to happen anyway. Whether done manually, or done with an aid (like the
OP is asking), it is going to happen.
Fundamentally, there are only two ways for a BrickLink store to get sales: size
or price. If you can't get size, then the only option (assuming you want to sell
the stuff) is price. If that pulls down the prices on the "big boys", too, so
be it. Too bad.
Besides, if the "big boys" feel the prices are too low, they can always fix it
themselves: Buy out the little guys. Seriously. The vast majority of the little
guys are just trying to unload stuff they no longer want. They don't want a store;
it is just a means to an end. If you really think their stuff is too cheap, go
buy it and resell it at a high price. Win-win.
And if you aren't willing to buy out the store, then obviously their prices aren't
too low. Pretty much by definition.
