Does this mean that we will have like a special tool to select a certain group
of parts to see if they appear in any sets? I don't know if such feature
is already implemented.


  So we all have want lists, right?

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to take a want list and instead of looking
for stores that have all the individual parts, do a search against "sets" or
multiples of sets that have all the parts on a want list.

Everything needed to make this tool already exists on Bricklink.
Parts want list - check
Sets, parts inventory - check (the part out tool)

This function could be added to the Buy section like the distillers to get from
the fewest stores, or best price etc - add sets to buy that have all the parts.

Then a shopper could shop for complete sets to buy from sellers or determine
that they already have the sets in their own collection to build the MOC they
are shopping for pieces for.

Example: I bought the instructions for the UCS U-wing project by Mirko (Awesome
MOC by the way and beautiful instruction book)
uploaded the parts list 430 different parts 3300 pieces total.
I would love to know if I could buy 4-5 sets to get all the parts I need to build
the UCS U-wing project and the extra pieces could go in my collection. Certainly
there would be a handful of random special pieces to buy separately but it would
be cool to have the option of buying a few complete sets to get the majority
of the parts.

Just a thought and the development cost would be minimal since the hard parts
(set part inventories & want lists) already exist.

Since I have the store, I've noticed that buyers generally don't know
what kind of work there is behind he preparation of an order.

the idea is to give the sellers the possibility to set up a "timeline" (even
automatically, as it happens with the istant invoice) shared with the buyer.


it would turn out as a more "amazon" experience; and help the buyer being calm
while waiting orders

  I don't know if this will help, but you can check the box on your inventory
page to show all of the items on your wanted list in your store. (First box under
"Show More Options" on the right side of the page.

This will bring up all of the matching items, and each has a link to view the
listing in your inventory that you can edit and delete the number you need.

Still a few steps to go through, but the easiest way I've found.

Thanks! Seems to be the easiest way to go -- now that the fully automated
way isn't available :-/

You can upgrade to seller and keep your store closed.

Or keep inventory on Rebrickable.com or with Brickstock.
