Hello, I've been trying to resolve a problem I've been having with BrikTrak, but so far have not been able to figure it out on my own and have not been able to find anyone else who could help me. I would like to use BrikTrak (build .228) to part out (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jul-04, to lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

Hi All, As I was laboring under extreme heat and humidity outdoors, my mind drifted to LEGO. Bricklink in particular. Every month I spend a few hours just trying to optimize my Bricklink orders.
