You have so many lots of the exact same same items that it makes browsing your
store a pain. Please combine lots.

Yes! Or at least there's an easy way to find all of the duplicate
lots in your store. Bricklink has a search function in the My Store Inventory
page (https://www.bricklink.com/inventory.asp) on the right side. Check the
"Non-Unique" box and then the Go! button. It will show you all of the
duplicate lots in your store.

The mystery to me is how sellers let that happen in the first place. When you
add a lot of something that you already have in your store, Bricklink warns you
automatically, so a seller would have to ignore that in order for the duplicate-lot-problem
to happen.

If you part out a set, it will warn you but not try to combine the lots. You
have to do that manually. Not consolidating lots is often done by sellers with
smaller storage areas, where they bag up the parts from X copies of that set,
then use the set box as the storage location. That is, they don't have a
huge storage system, one part per location. It cuts down massively on storage
volume, as you might have 100 lots in the set box. It takes longer to pick as
each part doesn't have its own location, but much more efficient for storage
of smaller lots. Of course, they could locate the other similar lot in another
set and combine them but that is more work. It can also happen if you find there
is say 10x a part and pre-bag it to sell as a fixed quantity of 10. Then you
get that part again at a later date but this time 15x, and you pre-bag it as
15 qty.

What a ridiculous excuse. Those sellers with a bunch of lots for each parts
go straight to my least favorite list, and they completely deserve it.
