Hmmm, I was hoping for a way to do this that didnt involve going through
and building every set in my collection and then valuing each set plus all
the parts that are left.
Assume they dont want lists of individual parts, is there another sutable
way to come up with a $ value for the parts?
I guess that $ values for individual parts would be a good idea for the
"hard to find" parts (like the classic space printed 1 x 6 x 5 bricks and
the red round shields and stuff) then $ values for all the sets I have
instructions for... Then come up with some other $ value for whats left...
