I have a suggestion regarding superlots..
Currently the issue with super lots is that you have to completely bind your
inventory items to each other to create a superlot.

My suggestion is to allow Superlot items to be listed as individually sell able
items if wanted with a bound Discount if all of the parts in that lot are bought..

IE you have listings for all 16 collectable minifigures at one price, however,
if someone were to buy all at one time you would give a 20% discount..

By being able to bind with individual sale it would allow you to put up say 10
of each minifigure which would give you 10 sets or 160 different figures to sell
depending on the whim of the buyer without having to designate a certain amount
to sets or individual.

The options on the superlot could also contain an option to stop individual sale
at a certain quantity:

Example you have a set of wings with quantities of 10 on the left and 8 on the
right.. but you want to retain at least 3 sets availible at the discount regardless.
you could set individual sale until quantity 3 which would allow individual sale
of the items until the quantity of that item reaches 3 so someone could buy individually
7 left wings without the right but would not be able to buy the last 3 without
the right counterpart..

If you set the quantity of individual sale to 0 it means that the person could
buy all of the items out of the superlot for what you set the price or get the
discount by buying both.

I hope that this is undestandable..

Can you not just add 3 as superlots and list the rest seperately?

The reason to have the option to sell out of a superlot would be so that you
can give a lower price on that item if the counterpart is purchased at the same
time.. Currently you cannot really do this for ALL of the counterparts that you
might have which makes it so you have to list some as superlots and others as
individual items.

This would allow you to list all availible as superlots AND individual items
allowing you to sell the parts together at say a 10% discount if you choose..

This would also allow you to link two sets together that you are actually willing
to sell separately IE you have a Santa Fe Engine and one of the Traincars that
you would sell together at $300.00 but you also wish to give someone the ability
to buy them separate from each other for $250.00 for the Santa fe and $100.00
for the train cars. You cannot list the sets separately and in a superlot without
violating Bricklinks On Hand policies as you only have 1 of each.

Once one of the items was sold the superlot would be broken and the other would
stay at its normal price but if someone bought both together they would get the
superlot discount.
