Thanks for your feedback in private messages guys

Bricklink recently moved all torsos with pattern into a new category, which resulted
in avsearch not finding them.

I've fixed it now by adding an option for plain/decorated torsos. Enjoy:
http://avbricks.no/#/avSearch

avSearch is based on goatleg by 62Bricks with some additional input from mfav.

For your information, the new nougat colors are not yet fixed, but I am aware
of the issue.

I'm considering to take my store from being a hobby into something more,
and would love to get some feedback. I am planning to find out how much it costs(how
many hours) to sort and register used-bulk-lots. Did anyone measure or research
how much time you spend to sort bulk lego, and what is the best strategy? My
current strategy is:

1) sort everything into 10 self-made categories
2) sort each category into specific pieces or narrower categories
3) repeat previous step until everything is sorted by specific pieces
4) sort each specific piece by color
5) Add to my inventory.

I plan to check kg/minute speed for each of my steps.

I noticed that Minifigure torsos have now been split up into decorated and plain,
which is pretty handy. Is more subdividing on the way with other categories like
legs? I always have a hard time finding the right pair of plain legs.

I may have missed a discussion but was there a specific reason why all the big
figures have been renamed as "Big Figure - NAME"

e.g.
 
Minifig No: sh414  Name: Bane
* 
sh414 (Inv) Bane
Minifigures: Super Heroes: The LEGO Batman Movie
 
Minifig No: sw0402  Name: Jabba The Hutt - Tan Face
* 
sw0402 (Inv) Jabba The Hutt - Tan Face
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

Would it not have been better to be "NAME (Big Figure)" so that they still appear
in the correct alphabetic order in their respective categories?

I'm new to the Bricklink ecosystem, including selling. I've gotten the
Store API up and running to help drive my personal inventory software and replace
the Rebrickable API I've been using up until now. Because Bricklink maintains
records for parts with sticker and for assembled minifigs this switch is critical
for me.

However I'm running into one roadblock - how to programmatically download
the full Part List and Set List. I see in the API docs that the only Lists I
can access are colors and categories. But for items I seem to need to specify
the item number.

I have manually downloaded part list and set list from the Downloads page but
I can't figure out how to do that using code.

I've noticed that the program BrickStock updates its database automatically
which makes me think it's possible to do. Is it?
