Jumping on Fost ... err ... Thor's suggestion bandwagon...

When parting out a set, I would like to be able to input one "% off" for all
items that are being parted out instead of having to do it manually for each
part in the detailed parted-out screen.

Not a bad suggestion, but can be done relatively easily by uploading into a stockroom,
and then adding the sale there.

You want to have new listed items on a fake sale.

While it could be used as a "fake" sale, there are legitimate uses as well.

I currently have all parts on 20% off sale. I also have a set being sorted that
will need to be added to inventory when it is done. If I need to add these items
to my inventory before my sale ends, this would make it possible (or at least
easier).

Fortunately, I list everything using BrickStore anyways, so this won't effect
me either way. But not everyone uses BrickStore.

That might be OK in USA but such practice is illegal here in UK. Sale items have
to have been previously available at the non-reduced price. (this is a simplification
of the law but basicly its' intent).

I'd go for it if you had the option to go plus or minus and then a percent. Sometimes,
you have a really hot set to part out and want to go a bit higher.

I like it. Voted yes. I would also like to see the total value of the set being
parted out after the % off is applied.
