Exactly. New, you part out and list an entire set all at once. Used, you track
down and list a single piece. Then the next one is the same piece, but you have
to list it differently because you want to note differences in condition and
price them accordingly. The only reason I can figure that people can make any
money at all on Used is they can often get hugely undervalued lots on sites like
Craigslist or by hitting up garage sales. Or, you know, you can price it higher
than New and hope people will buy it without paying attention because "Used is
always less expensive".

Your ability to inventory used Lego is appalling.

I have no idea what you mean by that. The inventories in the catalog are submitted
by users, and they're generally inventoried using new sets, not used.

Replace “to inventory” with “to put in your store’s inventory.”

That definitely changes the meaning, but it still doesn't make sense. Has
there been some change in the way parts are added to a store when they are used?

I understand a lot of people use BrickStock (or similar) but sellers tools are
scarce on BL.
