| I would like to see the ability for users to display an itemized list of their
wanted items, rather than a non-specific category list. Further, it would really
nice to be able to share the list with another user by a link, and have the
list be printer-friendly. I envision this list to include descriptive text with
quantity, color and a thumbnail image of the desired items. It seems that the
data is already there since one can go to a store and see a list of items on
one's wanted list within that store's inventory. This would be great
for buyers and sellers. If you're a buyer, you could send the list to a store
that advertises "if you don't see it, ask me". You could also print the list
and take along when you shop around LEGO conventions, yard sales, meet someone
and want to trade parts, etc. For sellers, it could remind you of things you
want to purchase for your store, let's say from a LEGO PAB wall, a store
that has kits on sale that you're buying for inventory, etc. I'd appreciate
that functionality. Thanks for considering it.

This is unlikely to be implemented, because it would make fee avoidance incredibly
easy. But there's a third-party program, BrickStore, that can be used to
create lists like that. You can make your own too, using XML.

If that statement wasn't so incredibly true about fee avoidance, that feature
would be awesome....
Brickstore needs a upgrade or something.... I use a MAC.

There's a Mac version, Linux too. I don't know any more than that.

| I think it's a good idea and disagree that it would necessarily make a fee
avoidance. Especially from many traders like myself who made our own trade lists
and traded here as if it was a store purchase and BL did ALWAYS get it's
fees.
Perhaps take the idea bit further and they could link the want list in a way
that at least one store purchase had to be required.
Still doubt they will waste time on this as that would require a lot of work
and no real benefit to BL sales. I suggest just keeping your own list with colors
and BL part numbers should be good enough.
Some who do want lists in Forum used to link the pics of each brick element so
people saw along with name and qty what you wanted which is easy to do now.
Tips on trading:
1st make sure communication is clear for a good trade.
2. Make sure your trading with someone you don't mind paying shipping fees
from or to their country. I did 90% of my trades within my country just because
the fees to ship overseas really ruined the point of a trade especially on larger
bulk trades.
3. I always liked trading through BL as if store sales keeps everything on up
and up. People know exactly what they will receive, I know where to pull it from
 , They get to see when shipped and everything exactly as a regular sale except
no invoice. Plus you can do feedback. If you handle a trade well just as a sale...you
should get feedback especially if BL is making a profit.
4. Hate to say it but make sure who you are trading with. Buyers who never have
money but tons of bricks.... usually don't have money to ship your stuff
timely. Choosing someone you know or feedback you trust is wise. Not saying
I wouldn't trade with a newer member but think in such a situation if they
don't have feedback the person with lowest feedback should ship first. If
someone is in hundreds FB this is not necessary.
I've had many happy trades here and BL always benefited.
