| I am currently doing a project and I have a list of items I need. The way the
current wanted list works is to show me lowest priced items in specific quantities
on the list from the stores with the lowest prices for that item.
What I think would be awesome is if somehow we could see which (if any) stores
had the entire list of items in the appropriate quantities (or failing that,
which stores can complete the highest percentage of my order).
For example: say I need 100 Black 1x1 Bricks and 250 White 1x1 Bricks and 50
green 2x1 bricks (totally made up example) - rather than order each item from
a different store and pay shipping multiple times, often I would prefer to pay
a few cents more for some items (especially ones I might only need a few of)
but ship everything from a smaller number of stores.
For a complicated project with hundreds of items, the shipping expense can become
a significant cost for the project after paying several dollars shipping from
dozens of different stores - I for one would prefer for the Lego community to
keep that money and purchase more Lego than the post office get it.

["Show stores with all items on a wanted list"]
That already exists. You will want to view your wanted list "by shop"
It might take a bit of tweaking of your list for this to work really well, depending
on the nature of your wanted list. If you have a significant number of uncommon
parts, you might want to put them on a separate list, to see how many of those
you can get from one or two sellers, before checking the more common parts.
(This is just because, if no seller has everything you need, the "by shop" list
will potentially bump stores to the top of the list who have all of your common
wants, but few or none of your uncommon ones.)

| If you check the box for query shop in your wanted lists on the parts that you
are specifically looking for, it will bring up this exact request.
