I often check both the set value and part out value of a set before parting it
out. Why can't "Part Out Value" also show the average sales value of the
set as a whole too?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question. When you are on the Price Guide
page, where you key in the set number on the right side to get part out value,
look to the left side of the page, under "View Price Guide Info". The Item Type
drop down menu has an option for "Set". You can key in the set number and get
the price guide/average sales value of the set as a whole.

I think they mean you should only have to type the set number in once and get
the set part out value AND the set value in one go.

Part Out value is intended to be about parts, after parting out a set.

This. Sets are sets. If you want the set value, look at the price guide for the
set.

Also bear in mind that the part value can be way off what you will get for the
parts, depending on how fast you want a sale, how much inventory you have, what
country you are in, and how long the set has been released. Always check the
actual parts in the set (do a part out, but don't actually add to inventory)
as sometimes new parts that have only sold once or twice can really skew the
set part out value. Check the most expensive parts to see if the prices are realistic.
