Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to search for a certain piece and find
the seller with the most of them in total, no matter color or condition.

Let's just say I want as many 2x2 bricks as posible from one seller and I
dont care if they're new or used and also in any color.

Sylvain-the-1001bricks-guy is convinced BrickStock can do everything, from doing
your taxes and painting your car to cooking your pizza with pineapple and mustard.

Sorry, an old reference.

I read Charlie Brown when I was what a teenager, and later on read them to my
daughter when she was a kid.

1965, gasp!!!

IMDB:
The phrase, "It's Sydney or the bush.", [...] the phrase is actually an Australian
saying basically meaning "all or nothing", or living an easy life in the city
("Sydney") or a hard life in the Outback ("the bush").

Add the piece to a new wanted list. Here you specify the color 'Not Applicable'
and condition 'Any'.

Then use the Classic Wanted List feature 'By Shop' and filter on this
single wanted list.
You can then sort the resulting list of shops by 'Items' (meaning the
total number of items found in this shop that match your wanted list).

https://www.bricklink.com/wantedShop.asp?showOld=Y&wantedMoreMultiple=&qs=

For my personal filter conditions, I thus see a shop in Slovenia with over 200.000
of the basic Brick 2x2.

Hmm, I always thought By Shop didn’t give any useful result that the Buy page
wouldn’t show.

I mean, the total number of lots (which is the default sort, guh!), is not very
useful.  You generally don’t care about the number of lots there’s in the
store
, including doublets (same part, same colour but different lot).  You
want the Unique lot number: How much can the store fulfill from my WL?

But that’s different for N/A as By Shop shows/counts all the lots that match
and ‘Unique’ then becomes the number of colours!

The Buy page selects only one lot / one colour in the shop, and so ‘Unique’ is
still the number of lots in you WL that can be fulfilled.

Different semantics, different results (sort-wise).


Now, what is interesting, and freightening, is that the lot chosen by the Buy
page (seen when you click Select) is not the less expensive one in the store!
And it’s the biggest or the oldest either!
I never checked that for N/A parts before: those are not the ones I search first,
they are in my WLs as filler / complements.

The more I think about it, the more I find that’s freightening.


On a lighter note: the Total lots number shown on By Shop tells you how many
lots a store has for the same part in the same colour (or the average if you’re
looking for several parts or for N/A).
Some stores really need to learn about consolidation!
Up to 21 lots for a black 3003!

Oh, didn't know you could do this! Thanks.
