Store: BARGAIN PARTS
Hi all,

Does anyone know how to upload my entire store inventory to a wanted list? I
currently downloaded my store inventory to XML and I was going to use the bulk
upload to add it all. The problem is I am going to get an error every time there
is a duplicate item in my store. I have 1000's of duplicate items in my store
and would have to correct 1000's of errors. I need a way to remove duplicate
code in the XML. Maybe there is a way through BL or rebrickable to circumnavigate
the issue?

The reason I would like to do this is so that I do not have to cross reference
my own store every time I purchase an item and could see in stock items at a
glance.

I was also wondering if anyone knows how to bulk add every color variation to
a wanted list versus doing it manually. When adding from rebrickable it does
not automatically apply color variations. Maybe there are some complete XML files
including varying part colors out there?

Any help would be much appreciate. Cheers

-Austin

Try BrickStore.
(And remove duplicates from your store, (at least some) buyers don’t like it
)

It depends on what you mean by “every color variation.”

If you want your Wanted List to match any colour, use the colour “Not Applicable”
(N/A).
Searches will give you all the colours you have for the brick.
But it gets problematic when you want to match orders with Wanted Lists, because
the bricks do have a colour in orders, searching your order in an N/A WL gives
no results (N/A matches any colour but a given colour does not match N/A).

If you want to add each part in all the colours, well that gets complicated and
that makes for a very big WL (even if you only do ‘Known colours’ or active colours
and not absolutely all colours).
