Some sellers list the exact same item multiple times. I am trying to purchase
items from my parts list of about 200+ items and sometimes a single seller supposedly
has 1000+ items on that list of mine!

When I click on the "min" link to populate the quantity, I sometimes
spend more time unclicking those boxes for duplicates.

Is there a quick way to bypass these multiple listings???

mark the seller as least favorite and they will stop showing up

some sellers don't know how to consolidate new elements with existing elements
of the same kind when they upload new parts, so each time a new lot is created
but this doesn't necessarily mean they are "duplicates" of the same
inventory. They could actually have all the different lots of repeat elements
in their inventory, its hard to tell sometimes.
