I'm somewhat new to ordering on bricklink and I had a question so when I
go to a sellers store is there any way to see what the average price of a item
other than adding it to a wish list or looking up a specific part? I have a few
figures on my wish list and it shows the average price and what the sellers price
is so I can see if I'm really overpaying or not but I also want to order
a few bricks and pieces along with them but don't want to add every piece
to a wishlist to see the average price. If I was looking for something in particular
it wouldn't be a issue but I just want to kinda scan over their inventory
and if a piece has a good price then I would get a couple

You can click on the item image and then the item number hyperlink, then select
price guild. It's a way to view some of that info.

Use the price guide to help. Left click the picture of the piece. You get a pop-up
window with info about that piece. At the top left, right click the blue part
number. This will take you to the page where you can quickly view the price guide.
I use the 6-month average.

IMO this is the fastest and best way to get the info you need.
