I have a problem.
Before disassemling set 76424 Ford Anglia I looked a "Price Guide", how
much the price of all parts can be.
Brinklink told me "Around 47 EUR".
After parting out, the prices of all parts are 24 EUR.
I took a look why there's a gap of 50% between the "Price Guide"
and real Part-Out-Price and I noticed, some parts are very expensive in some
shop.
For example: There is a Czech shop and a US shop that sells part 60470b in bulk
for $3 or $4.
Is it possible, to use an option, that "Price Guide" is using only some
customized settings like "Average price of the first 20 German sellers.?
or "average price, only in europe".
It would be very helpful for calculating before buying a set.

As a workaround I find Rebrickable more useful for price guide. They list the
set part value at $56.02, which is the problem you identified. But you can then
look at the inventory tab and sort by price (assuming you log in). Here a lot
of that value is specifically piece 2431, which qty 5 at $3.28 each. The 60470b
is only 47 cents of overall value. Here is where you consider the key items
in more detail. Bright light blue with several items in a rare colour sticks
out to me. This is harder for the algorithm to price because of fewer seller.
So, my suggestion is look there for the comparisons instead of the general estimate.
