I think that you will find that having one set price for all of the pieces in a set will not work very well. Some pieces will not sell, and you'll lose money on some pieces that would have sold for more. For example: Mini-figs mostly went for (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
