Body: <p>Is there an easy way to estimate, to the nearest 100 g (or so) the weight of a shopping cart in Bricklink so that I can estimate the shipping charge (sellers may quote ranges such as "250 - 500 g: $X, 500 - 1000 g: $Y" so I wish to stay in a cheaper band if possible)?</p>
  
  <p>I can find out the weight of a type of brick (such as <a href="http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3010" rel="nofollow">this</a>) but summing by hand is a chore. Just wondering as it already has all the necessary info...</p>

  Is there an easy way to estimate, to the nearest 100 g (or so) the weight of a shopping cart in Bricklink so that I can estimate the shipping charge (sellers may quote ranges such as "250 - 500 g: $X, 500 - 1000 g: $Y" so I wish to stay in a cheaper band if possible)?
  
  I can find out the weight of a type of brick (such as [this](http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3010)) but summing by hand is a chore. Just wondering as it already has all the necessary info...
