I would like to get the community's opinion about set bag inventories. In
other words, knowing what lots are in which bag in a set. Obviously, or maybe
not, this only applies to sets with numbered bags.

I don't want to bias your opinion with my thoughts as I am looking for other's
opinions.

I have an opportunity to test how I would do this as I am parting out a couple
sets and will be taking the time to inventory the bags as I part them out.

Thank you for your input.

It would add to the initial work, but I would love it. People sell individual
bags on eBay and it is hard to tell what they are worth. It would be a commercial
and scholastic opportunity for Bricklink and it would also get us around the
timeout problem on big, big sets. You would just part out 6 bags at a time.

I’ve read in another forum thread that the bag assortment can change more frequently
than the inventories but I don’t know how much of it is true. At least in sets
with numbered bags it seems that each bag is tied to a separate part of the instructions
so it should be consistent between sets.

I’ve actually needed this feature recently as I found unopened parts bags in
a bulk LEGO bin I got off Craigslist, without it I ended up opening the bags
to inventory them, either to sell as New Incomplete or to complete the set and
sell it as Used.
