Interesting idea and it does solve a problem. Another method could be taking
the median rather than the mean. Or the seller could have the option to select
his default preference (eg. Median or Mean Value).

median is already there via the quantity average.
it is stupid to take out the lowest and highest because you cant cancel these,
as they are legit buyable offers.
Furthermore would you delete a part with 4.5 cent as lowest, but dont do to one
thats exactly 5 cent?
The highest parts dont have much impact on the price, because one part at 20
dollars,
is not much recognizable in a complete offer from 20000 parts from 10-15 cent.
Problem is more, people desperately hang on to non weighted avg prices in stead
of their weighted qty avg.

Why not throw out any that are not average, then average what is left.

Thats actually a pretty good idea! Ya, you definately can't list parts by
average price

| | Please fix this "go back" button to load the orders page not actually go back

It's not an issue when there are only 1 or 2 but more than that and
it can get a little annoying.

You can use the Mass feedback link for 3 or more orders.

This issue was observed on Chrome, it may react differently on other browsers,
if so I would love to hear about which ones if the button works!
Thanks!

upon seeing the offending post and automatically be directed to the specific
post in question.
Is this something that Bricklink can implement?

This is a bit more complicated than what I had in mind (and I am not even sure
where to access it!).
Perhaps the button on each post could be a link to this page, and a category
of “Other” could be added.

It works, but such a button would be a very useful alternative.
