Not sure about brick store, but if you want to consolidate repeat lots go to
your inventory, search my inventory, select non-unique and go, this will show
repeat lots and from there you can manually adjust and delete repeats.

" it’s one of the more
expressed peeves that shoppers make here. Speaking as a buyer, it’s a pain in
the gluteus maximus browsing such inventory. "

I strongly dislike when I go to a store and they have 547 lots on my wanted list
and only 5 are unique, 175 lots of the same part.

Are you ticking the 'Consolidate lots by using' checkbox on the Mass
Upload screen?

You should also consolidate the parts in BrickStore, before uploading to BL (Edit
- Consolidate Items). This is because of a situation where you part out a set
that has the same part in the main inventory and also as an extra i.e. 2 duplicate
lots in BrickStore. If the part does not already exist in your inventory, BL
will not consolidate them during upload (regardless of the consolidate checkbox
setting).

Also, Comments is often a field that catches people out... if you have different
comments between two of the same part, then BL will create a separate lot.

To get around this in BrickStore...
Download your store inventory into one file.
Part out the set in another file.
Consolidate the items (as explained above).
On the 'Edit' menu, use the 'Copy Values from Document' option
and copy the Comments from your downloaded inventory file (just make sure to
set the other fields to Ignore).

This makes sure that the comments in your upload match what is already in your
inventory and stops duplicates being created due to different comments.
