Is it possible to have it back?

One thing that I am missing from this discussion is that the price comparison
tool was fundamentally flawed and gave buyers a misleading sense of confidence.
In many situations it gave a meaningless result. Depending on your wanted list
settings it could be comparing parts in different colors and used with new without
any description anywhere on the site on what was being shown. Also, there are
huge differences in price if you look at the average listed for sale versus the
average sold, and the average versus the qty average.
If you were looking at parts in "any condition" and "any color" then you could
be comparing a new part in a rare colour to an used part in a common colour.
In that situation the price might seem to be outrageously high while it could
be the cheapest on BrickLink.
