Forgive if this suggestion has already been made. (I've not had much success
using the search function on this site, to see if it has already been suggested.)

It looks like it is a fairly recent feature to be able to put a checkbox on multiple
wanted lists on the left side at https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
.

I use some of my wanted lists as a sort of recipe of submodules I build. It
would be good if the checkbox could be augmented to be a count or a multiplier.
Imagine looking at a recipe and wanting to double it or triple it. Instead of
just searching the stores for a combination of List A and B and C, could I search
the stores for a combination of 2 copies of list A and 3 copies of list B and
1 of list C, etc.?

Not quite what you're looking for, but you can easily multiply a wanted list
by any positive integer. Select all of the items in your wanted list, click "quantity"
along the top of the page, then choose "multiply quantity" and enter a number,
then click "apply".

And, if you don't want to modify the original list, just select all items
and "Copy" to a new wanted list - it's of course a few more clicks than if
you were able to do it directly in the buy page, but it's a minor effort,
I'd say.

Excellent! Thanks, wildchicken and stearns. The key is the "quantity" tab,
that I wasn't aware of. It'll do the job!
