While buying parts for old sets it happened to me several times that the auto
select function will choose the cheapest part(not so bad at all) but paying 1,49€ for
a flag with both clips broken(or shields without handle) and reconfiguring all
carts is really painful.

Also if the parts could be marked as broken they could be excluded from price
guide and prices would be more accurate.

I mean i get that when i can get a horse barding with broken clips for 8€ instead
of 30€ it is nice to have the option. But using the autobuy in that case is really
useless.

I know some people place large orders but in general it’s good practise to scan
over the carts item comments before buying. I can only image how difficult this
would be for bricklink to implement and for sellers to use
