Please exclude all superlot entries from the Price Guide. There are too many
people who do superlots with one item for some insane price, then list all other
entries for a penny or something. That ends up screwing up the averages for everything
in the superlot. If superlot items were just excluded from the Pricing Guide,
then it won't prevent anyone from doing their preferred pricing, while not
harming the pricing averages.

Note that this even helps with other pricing strategies, as the general use is
to price the individual items lower than they otherwise would be, which still
screws up the averages.
