Judging from some recent orders I appear to have forgotten to consolidate lots
during a recent upload. (Which also explains how I jumped by ~300 lots in my
inventory.)
I don't see a way to do this retroactively in Bricklink.
If I download the entire inventory to BrickStore and use the consolidate lots
there, can I do a Mass Update back to Bricklink or is it safer
to delete everything and re-upload?

That's a really good question. I don't know the answer, but you could
try it on just two lots as a test, then if it works properly, do your whole inventory.

NO, it'll add those old lots to existing roughly doubling the qty.

Yes, it can be either long or complicated, but it works.
Basically, you'd have:
* saved the full inventory of course
* work at (your) night when less buyers
* make 1 list where you consolidate all the lots, you'll see a little blue
symbol when done on qty
* remove the other lots
* make a copy of this list and set their qty to zero, mass UPDATE all, this will
delete the lots on BrickLink
* then take the first list consolidated and mass UPLOAD it
Worst scenario if you're lost, delete your whole BrickLink shop inventory
and upload the first list consolidated.
When doing big upload limit to 500/1000 lots maybe (due to BL/browser limits)...

I meant: it'll leave in place the duplicate but will update the first one
with its qty + the duplicate one. So if there was 100 and 100, you'll get
200 and 100.

Got it, got it, that's exactly what I thought might happen. If lot 1 and
lot 2 combine it would eliminate one and adjust that lots number, but since the
other lot number doesn't exist anymore there would be nothing to update and
it would stay like you said.
I'm shutting down next week for holiday traveling so maybe I'll take
care of it then.

If they are not that many lots you can do it manually by searching for Non-Unique
in your inventory:

Not sure since what BrickStore version, but there is an option to keep the duplicated
lots but set the quantity to 0 with consolidation.
That way after the consolidate both lots are remaining and you can do an update.
With the update feature the now 0 items lots get deleted.
