Given the growing trend (especially with collectible minifigs) to have the "lowest
price" but only in a super-lot, I think it would be very helpful for sellers
to have an "Exclude Super Lots" link on the Price Guide screen.

This filter could work similar to the include/exclude links for complete sets
and not display the price guide information for super lots (when the exclude
super-lots link is clicked)

-OR-

The filter could work similar to the group by currency link and display the price
guide information for super-lots above or below the price guide information for
those that are not in super-lots.

Yes, definitely include/exclude.

The practice of dramatically underpricing certain parts in a superlot annoys
me. I wonder what the real benefit is to the seller (presumably most people aren't
as annoyed as I am!). I've actually put someone on my least favourite seller
list for this reason -- they were skewing the price guide by selling a part for
1/10th of a cent (but only as part of a superlot).

Bumped!
Please add a tickbox: "Exclude Super Lots" here: http://www.bricklink.com/priceGuideSettings.asp
