I see lots of people trying to sell there entire store. Logically we might all
get to this point at some point. I haven’t gone to the process of creating a
massive lot but frankly that seems like a lot of work. Realistically these sales
are taking place outside of Bricklink. Probably on another social network, perhaps
local. Frankly, without Bricklink fees. Fees and facilitation goes together.

If you want to make it a custom, you just need to create a custom lot “entire
stock” with a pic and an appropriate price.

Also, you may simply put a Min Buy on your store for the amount you want and
leave all your stock visible (but not buyable because of the min buy).

So you can’t think of an easier way to facilitate?

Non sequitur.

I was answering to your saying that one would have to create some kind of “massive
lot” and that would be “a lot of work.”
One doesn’t have to and it isn’t a lot of work either.

That doesn’t mean it’s the easiest imaginable method, it means you were grossly
exaggerating the difficulty of the existing methods

Fair enough. You know more about existing methods than I do. I don’t see how
to transfer the information I would desire within bricklink.

From what I see though is that these transactions and discussions are taking
place outside of Bricklink. Must be a reason why.

What are you suggesting, a full store buyout price ?

As a single store setting, I can almost see that. But I doubt anyone has a shipping
method capable of handling it.

I don’t see a show stopper here. Realistically only local buyers would be interested.
Pickup.

Pickup.

Which both drastically limits the audience, while solving the shipping problems.
Not everyone lives where there is concentration of LEGO sellers. Prior to the
'local buyers only', I thought it might some merit, now not so much.

I don't have anything to say regarding your post but I visited your store
and thought your terms were really good.

You might want to include your Postal code so people know approximately where
you're located. I find this useful for local pickup. In years past, I asked
for a "stores near me" feature where people can have their postal codes
or zip codes listed privately and a page where you can search within 10, 20,
50km or miles.
