Store: Pretty Sick Parts & Sets
I have a shitty old spreadsheet where I track the market (and insurance) values
of Bionicle masks, and I've just been doing entries manually. It's due
for an update, but I've started using BrickStore for a lot of this sort of
stuff in the meantime. I know BrickStore has pricing functionality, I use it
pretty often but I'm still a novice with the program in general.

Is there an easy way to grab the entire BrickLink 'known' Bionicle Kanohi
Mask catalogue in one fell swoop, or do I still need to add masks individually
through BrickStore/wanted list/whatever? There's like ~540 items to add just
for G1, and that's gonna suck to input manually, even with auto pricing!

Cheers

Use the catalog download page (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogDownload.asp)
to download a list of all part numbers, do some Excel trickery (filters + string
concatenation only) and thus transform it into an xml to upload a wanted list.

Once you have your wanted list, you can find the top 20 parts for sale for each
of the entries, for instance go to https://www.bricklink.com/wantedDetail.asp?showOld=Y&catType=P&wantedMoreID=0

Oh you legend, this is exactly what I needed! Now to figure out how to dump this
data into Google Sheets...

Thanks!
