I am holding off adding to new items to my store as I am trying to sell down
a bit. Been here since 2009 and just doing a counting recheck, cleaning of drawers,
reorganizing etc. I am looking at sets I am waiting on to add to my store, but
I can't tell if the part out feature is calculating a value based on my sale
prices or my non sale prices.

So if set A goes in for $100, is that $100 before sale price (base price) or
with the sale prices?

I realize the easiest way to figure this out would be to remove my sale and rerun
the set numbers, but not everything is the same percent off and any new lots
added in the last 60 days are not on sale at all so I was hoping someone knew
the answer?

Try with a small set whose part-out price you can check by hand?

Oh yes that worked! I chose a small HP set and compared the part out to how much
it would cost to buy the parts from my store. Buying from my store was cheaper
then the part out value. So to answer the question for the future, it appears
the part out value is the before sale price or base price.

Thank you!

As long as you've been around, this comes as revelation to you? That's
interesting... I guess better late than never, or never stop learning (as a member
in Texas was known to sign-off with) both apply.

It extends further, the whole play at the shallow end of the pool before taking
the plunge into deeper end
