It will be possible in the future, according the Share message.

Not Sure I like that idea, when I am building sets, any missing parts, I add
to my wanted list and put the set to one side, then go onto another set, It gives
me a reminder of what I am missing, especially, when I am going through bought
collections dumped into boxes,
hopefully I find the parts when looking for other parts, if eventually I give
up looking, or have enough parts to warrant an order, I will do so...........
but to have sellers contacting me saying "I have the parts you require"
is really intrusive, and tbh. SPAM,

Regards

Alex

Look at the settings for one of your WL, you’ll see a “Share WL” toggle, with
a green, 4-month-old “Feature Coming Soon!” next to it.
So, it’s an option for each WL. You’ll have shared and unshared WL.

Besides, we have no idea whatsoever how it’ll work: Will the WL be shared with
everybody? with a selection of people? How? Etc.

And, besides, the “spamish” contacts already exist. They are called “notifications.”
Even though they work on a part by part basis.

Correct, thank you.

Notifications are voluntary and can be turned off in the wantlist settings.

Thanks Sylvain,
I must be honest, I hadn't even noticed that, as
for notifications, I do not have them turned on,
I suppose everyone is different, I have stopped using one of my favourite suppliers
in my day job, as they added me to a mailing list, and were sending me an Email
every / every other day, I unsubscribed, the Emails didn't stop, I have now
marked them as junk and stopped using them,
but on the other hand, some people may find it helpful........

I meant that if sharing WLs was to bring another level of notifications (whole
WLs instead of part by part), it’s still opt-in. So you (and I ) will continue
not to receive spurious messages from sellers.

Besides, if it’s like other promised features, we won’t have them that soon….

Hi Sylvain,
I mistook your meaning sorry, as I said it's a personal
thing, I for one don't like it, as long as you can opt in / out, there is
no harm in it!
but personally I wouldn't contact a buyer to say I have the parts you need!!
Have a good day

Alex
