| Cost is a very relative aspect, even the price guide offers several different
metrics for this: minimum price, average by lot, average by quantity and maximum
price for used/new and between available lots and sales over the past 6 months.
So what you are asking needs to be heavily refines before it can even be implemented,
which means you are better off doing your research yourself. It's painstaking,
but realistically this specific feature won't come from BrickLink.

| I think you are right with the wanted lists used as inventory, however I'm
not sure a "added by hand" distinction would be relevant, I created most of my
wanted lists by parting sets, does this count as "by hand" or "import"?

| Oh my.
Who adds any more black technic pin in his lists?
Don't everyone here have thousands already?
I suspect this is skewed by inventories imported into wantedlists, where the
most common parts always show up.
I would love to see a list of parts "added by human hand" imho.
Better, a list of human-parts which are not fullfilled yet, e.g. are picked up
by the search engine everyday.

| The most wanted parts are often some of the most highly listed quantities, and
cheapest parts. They are often most wanted as they have been in many sets, so
get added to many wants lists. The three most wanted torso assemblies for example:
have been in 20(22), 40(45) and 43(44) minifigures (or sets) respectively. And
none are particularly valuable.

What you are really requesting is a report of how much more an item is wanted
than for sale.
wanted list to items for sale
or
wanted list to lot for sale
Wanted 3212 / Lots for sale 14 = 229.4 times more wanted than lots for sale
Wanted 3212 / Items for sale 108 = 29.7 times more wanted that items for sale

| With the "apply order" button you see a table with proposed amounts to add
It's not easy to spot things that overflow. This is what the OP is finding
out I think.
I prefer to NOT HAVE an automatic overflow mechanism as the OP posted, I fear
I can't control it. I still prefer to see what happens and write down notes.
I dunno if they can highlight in yellow/red/orange when the amounts are inequal.
This could be informative and yet adaptable to user's habits.

| Indeed, but not multiple ones. So if you bought 20 of something, you can apply
5 to wanted list A, and it will still try to apply the full 20 from the same
order to wanted list B even if 5 were used completing wanted list A.

With the apply order function you can complete a specific Wantlist.

If I’m not mistaken:
— v2 = the new, better pages that came around 2016 (e.g. Wanted Lists & Auto-select).
— v3 = beta of XP

| Much has been written about spam activity in the Forum, and ways to stamp it
out. Today it became clear to me that some members are spamming (and acting innocent)
via Contact messages (see my other thread concerning picture requests).
Please implement a way for members to filter Contacts, so that Contacts can be
left enabled, but problematic ones can be routed directly to the Trash. This
is similar to how gmail does filtering.
Right now, I would put between 10 and 20 keywords into a filter, to suppress
traffic which does nothing but waste my time and energy, and produces no sales
on BL.
thank you.

| After deleting one or more items in a wanted list, the list asynchronously refreshes
with default search options, disregarding at least a checked "Hide Items if Have
Qty is ≥ Want Qty" option.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a list with two items
- Mark the first item as have = want
- Check the "Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty" option, only the other item
show
- Delete the remaining item
- The first item shows again

For day to day life, it’s a matter of habit, especially for temperature (metric
being obviously better for everything else, because it’s decimal ).
Once, in one of those forever discussions about Celsius vs. Fahreinheit, someone
came with the best argument ever that Fahrenheit was obviously better: 0°F and
100°F are really useful values¹ while Celsius was about freezing and boiling
water and one just needed to remember two numbers, that water froze at 32°F and
boiled at 212°F.
Strangely, they never answered when someone else pointed to them that, for Celsius,
one just needed to remember the lowest temp you can reach with salted water is
near -18°C and the blood temperature of horses is about 38°C.
¹ I’ll not comment on that usefulness nowadays… oops, it seems I just did

| Many of us here still look at Fahrenheit temperatures, much more impressive talking
about temps of 100 degrees or more.
