then report the listings....

BrickLink will not take down his store since its a free market and everybody
can choose how much to charge for their inventory.

I would not use the current listed average for my inventory since its not representative
of the actual value.

Might as well be a accidental error somewhere?

I saw this too, and wanted to report it as frivolous listing but I couldn’t figure
it out - you can report a store, but without the ability to type comments now
you get the vague “something else” and I wasn’t sure if it would go anywhere.
I’m not going to spend all day reporting individual listings.

There’s free market, and then there’s frivolous listing - whether someone chooses
to sell based on average current value or not, there’s no disputing that the
shop is causing that particular parameter to be less accurate. Annoying if you
happen to find current average prices useful in any way, and puzzling - why not
just keep the shop closed if they don’t intend to sell anything?

I just reported one listing as frivolous and left it at that.

Curious as to why you would set your prices according to the current items for
sale average instead of the 6 month sold average?

To me it's the exact opposite.
Why would one set a price depending on how it's been sold (the past), when
what's important is the current market price (the present)

Like the store referenced by the OP, many sellers don't know what they are
doing and thus skew the current items for sale average.

I look at the 6 month sold average because these are actual sales. However, if
current quantity is low, I will adjust the sales price upward.

Hey maybe prices will magically go back up so parting out a set is actually worth
it.
