If this has already been suggested, ignore or delete.

POV= set part out value
MC= My cost of set
P= Price of part
%= Percent of set/item
PMC= Item my cost
MP= My profit per item

P/POV = %

% X MC = PMC

P - PMC = MP

This could be applied at time of Set Part out, whether at Current or past 6-month
average.
When a seller adds in the actual cost of set, all calculations would be done
and the My cost of items would be automatically put in.

What do you think? Would this work/help?

I believe this would be a more true My Cost for the individual items.

Wow, no.

You can download all your data as Excel files and use Excel.

"More true" than what?

What you describe is pretty much exactly what I do in BrickStore before uploading.
Yes, it would be handy if it was in BrickLink-proper. Particularly since I suspect
BrickStore will stop working altogether when BL 2.0 comes out.

More true then just taking the price of a set and dividing it out by the number
of parts. If the Part out value is by "item", shouldn't the "My cost" be the
same. Or just setting my cost to an arbitrary price based on the part out value.
I realize that it can and has been done in Brickstore, but couldn't it, or shouldn't
it be done within BrickLink, so a seller doesn't have to rely on Excel or Brickstore,
making Bricklink more self sufficient?
