Hey there, hope your all doing well!

I wanted to run an idea by you guys see what you think, I think it would be really
beneficial and helpful. In the price guide, for any particular set, you can see
the purchase history ( which is awesome). I was thinking, would there be a way
to add which country an item sold in? I feel like that would give us sellers
an idea where an item is hot, and compare that with the pricing. Anyways I think
it would be great, let me know what you think

Re: find nearby stores, based on my ZIP code?

Hello,

After hitting a bug where Buy All failed to create orders that totaled my entire
Wanted List (and I didn't realize it until starting to build the models,
too late to ship another order before my time deadline!), I tried to place another
order but search for stores near me so I could pick up locally. I could find
no way to do this.

How about adding a "Stores near me" option in "Sort By" dropdown menu? It could
be based on ZIP code without compromising any store's address. As it was,
I had to manually compare the "284 stores found" list (after I'd limited
it to U.S. stores) with the dozens of stores in my state, finding only two that
matched.

From a programming perspective, it seems like this feature should be easy, with
a big payback in functionality of your wonderful website. And stores still retain
the option to share their address or not, as mine did, after a buyer Contacts
them.

Best regards,
ejv

This has been suggested before and hasn't been implemented because of privacy
issues and perhaps also because of the free market.
When a store is nearby it doesn't mean that the store accepts a pick up.
The easiest way is to send the stores a message.

New to this. I just ordered over 200 bricks from a seller. I want to place
another order but need to eliminate the purchased ones. How do I easily do this?
Any way besides doing it one by one?

The easiest way to manage is to enable the 'Items in order on Wantlist'
icon in the settings of the orders Placed page. A little scroll will appear.
It takes you to all bought items in that order.
Select the bought items and move all bought items into a new Bought Wantlist.
Then you can do a new search for the remaining items.

With shipping cost being very expensive where I live I tend to order large quantities
or bricks at once to justify shipping costs. Still, making an order is extremely
expensive for the relatively few pieces I order. I would like a method to cross
reference wishlists with parts available in official sets, so I can buy the sets
that have most of the parts I need and order the remaining on bricklink. This
tool could also be useful to sellers that need to source bulk parts for unofficial
kits, or for just finding the best source of parts.

I think that Rebrickable.com does that.
You enter parts and it tells you which set you can build.
