| At some time, superlots and their items were relegated to an optional box to
be checked in a search for items to buy. Now none of my paired items who belong
together and in a superlot are not showing up. This "feature" box should be
the DEFAULT (to show items in a superlot), with the box used to REMOVE superlots
from a search. The superlot feature is incredibly useful and is now useless.
I am embarrassed to say that I have had some supersets out there for over 10
years and never noticed that they weren't being shown. I also noted that
I had no way to search for this topic in the suggestions, so I apologize if it
has already been discussed.

It's a very handy tool for sellers.
Among the many uses, are found solutions too. Just one example is in dealing
with the Incomplete Minifigure listing, beyond simply purging them that
is. I've never listed incomplete minifigs and haven't gone through what
many others have with their listings being deleted and in some cases memberships
jeopardized.
The superlot has allowed me to sell off parts (not just minifigs) equally. The
reasons for wanting to do so, are many.
If I recall correctly, the reason given was the pricing abuse and by extension
concern for the price guide. Which is a concern. But that can be address without
nuking what was an extremely useful tool for sellers.
Thanks for bringing it forward. Vote yes!

Nope. Because there’ll always be sellers to set all items in a superlot but
one at $0.01, lure the unaware buyers and screw the Price Guide.
And price fixing to prevent that is not an option.

I fully agree.
Some sellers use this to make certain parts and/or minifigs look cheap while
in the end buyers still pay a lot in total.
I saw this with CMF’s in the past and always thought it was an inappropriate
trick of the trade.

Also agree. Certain stores listing every minifig for 1c then another for $100
ruined superlots. However now CMFs can be listed as sets of 16 (or 12 or whatever)
maybe that would stop.

All I want to do is to sell containers with their lids and doors with their fixtures
and there are no bricklink items that have those 2 combined, in spite of the
fact that they belong to a set
