Please add an option to exclude from the price guide (both for parting out sets
and searching the marketplace) superlots. This option would work the same way
as excluding incomplete sets does already.

When one part in a superlot is priced unusually low and another unusually high,
even if it balances out to average prices for both lots it still distorts the
figures for each individual item. Users ought to be able to exclude such distortions
from their deliberations.

Can we do that? Where?

Thanks, Eric

On the Price Guide detail page, in the links under the set picture. You can toggle
between including and excluding incomplete sets.

Example:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?S=8014-1

http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?S=8014-1&viewExclude=n
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?S=8014-1&viewExclude=y


You can also set up which you want as your default view in your Price Guide preferences:
http://www.bricklink.com/priceGuideSettings.asp?viewFrom=P
Checkbox marked "Exclude incomplete sets"

Thanks Marc!

I never paid attention to that...

I voted yes but I would rather it not be optional. Too much opportunity for priceguide
shenanigans imho.
