| A few suggestions that might not be too hard:
* I'd like the option to see/buy stuff from a seller even if the quantity
is too low.
* It'd be nice if when I buy it from a seller it was removed from my wanted
list  (Or if I buy 10 and wanted 25, my wanted is reduced to 25). Clearly
an option per wanted list
* When sellers have bajillions of lots of the same part, only Auto-Fill enough
to reach the wanted amount, if I want 70, don't do 70 3x just because they
have 3 lots available with 125, 92 and 73 of some part.

There are all good suggestions and all three can currently be done, though not
automatically by the site.

| Yup. I also agree with this suggestion. But by now, as workaround, when I part
a set or need a certain number of a piece, I usually specify how many I need
and how many I have in the comments instead of minimum quantity, so I can see
all stores that have it, not only the ones that have exactly or more than I need.

I do the same in asking for a minimum of 1 and putting quantity I require in
the comments along with a reference to wanted list as I may have this item on
more than 1 list.

This can actually be the smarter way to do it. I've need larger quantities
of a certain uncommon part and found the few stores that had the high quantities
also had far-above-average prices on them. I set the minimum-quantity to lower
that what I needed (to filter out stores that had less then 10% of what I needed)
then put my total in the Comments section.

I think you can search that way within a shop- I think that's what the link
titled All Items is for.
| | * It'd be nice if when I buy it from a seller it was removed from my wanted
list (Or if I buy 10 and wanted 25, my wanted is reduced to 25). Clearly

|
When you place an order you get a link to remove items from your wanted list.
As you say, it's got to be an option, not everybody shops like that.

|
Wanted amounts are minimums, not exact quantities.
So it's working correctly, more or less.

The option to remove these from your wanted list at this stage assumes you will
receive what you've ordered. If the order is lost or wrong then you have
to go back into your list and adjust/re-add the items,I don't think you can
remove these items after you have received the order,this I would prefer.

When it comes to the first request I think when you browse your own wanted list
they should remain unlisted or perhaps listed last if there isn't stores
enough. but when you reach a store you should beable to see lesser quantities
in the wanted list.
The second is not good, mostly because you can trust that you get all the pieces.
seller fail way to frequently to deliver what's ordered. it could be a option
when you set an order to completed to remove a item from the wanted list. assuming
you have added a quantity.
I agree personally I don't understand why some store have so many lots of
the same with diffrent prices. when there is no specific quality comment on them.
it's especially weird when they are marked 'new'.
Personally I would like to combine filters in the stores, ie red + brick for
example to get straight to red bricks. or filter out new/used, sort by price
etc. and other properties.
Browsing a store is quite clumsy today if you don't know exactly what you
want but want to look around for great deals.
