| Hello,
I thought of a suggestion for the shopping cart:
Let's say you're ordering off a wanted list that gets broken up into
4 orders. So you've got 4 carts full of items.
What if... there was a button that could compare the items in your 4 carts against
the other cart's stores to see if the other stores have those items for cheaper.
Then you could have the option to adjust quantities in the carts and buy from
the other seller. I sometimes manually do this.. but it's kind of hard and
time consuming.
For example say you need 5 4x4 plates. And you have them in Cart #1 @ $0.35 each.
But after running the tool it is found that Cart #2's shop has 2 of those
4x4 plates for $0.15 each. Then you could adjust the quantities of cart #1 to
be 3 and then add the 2 @ $0.15 from the cart #2.
Does that make sense? I could explain it better if needed. I love all the tools
bricklink has that make getting the best price possible. I think this would be
a nice feature that would even further help.
Also... I'm a programmer. So if you need to me to implement this feature.
I'll do it.  I've got some other ideas too..

| Hi,
it's a pretty good idea, I'm facing another annoying concern as I have
a wanted list, pick some parts here, some parts there, then I got a few carts
with most probably duplicate parts on them with various prices and status.
The only way I found to deal with this is to open tabs on brower and compare
carts lot by lot, very very time consuming and error prone.
It would be great to get the benefit of using a DB like this:
pick cart A, B, D, F, G
click on a compare button
get a report page (like cart/wnated list) with parts quantity, price differences,
... then
choose in which cart we want to get parts then a single update (on each row or
global for all carts) to get super optimized carts  .
