I was going through a used lot of LEGO I purchased, and I thought,
"How cool would it be if Bricklink had a feature that show the sets that parts
might have come from."

Example...

I have 3 red 2x2 cones, and 4 Green Hinge plates, and 2 Yellow 1x6 Wedge plates.

If you could enter these parts into a query, and have the system give you a list
of sets that contain those parts, it could possibly increase sales for many stores
by people wanting to complete sets. Increased sales for Bricklink sellers, means
more income for Bricklink.

You already have a feature that lists all the sets with specific parts, so I
imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to cross reference multiple parts.
But I know nothing about coding, so...

What do you think?

Or I wandered if what sets contained the majority parts in wanted/buying lists?
I know now bricklink has it where you have do each part individually.

I think it would be a great feature.
