Ended up with the same part repeated up to five times in my store at different
price points and conditions.

Before I write a Python script to combine all the lots by condition at the lowest
price point (and unfortunately spam API calls because BL doesn't seem to
take arrays for this purpose), I was wondering if there's a way to do it
easily with a few clicks from the site.

Thanks in advance!

I may be able to do the following if there's no way to do it on site:

1.) Close the store down temporarily.
2.) Retrieve all items in the store through a single API call.
3.) Perform the combining on my end.
4.) Delete all preexisting items in the store.
5.) Convert the data I have to an XML format readable by BL.
6.) Upload that file.

Really depends on how well BL can handle a large file. Parting out larger sets
takes a while to load.

Download brickstore
Download store inventory
Select all items the click consolidate
Then reupload (either upload or update depending on how you did it all)
First try on a small batch to confirm it’s good before you do it for all
