Last week, I have been in something of a frantic rush, to get all of the parts
I need, for a MOC, that I need to be ready by the end of next week.

For me, price is vital, due to affordability reasons too. Therefore I need to
plan carefully, then, once the money comes in, time to for an instant splurge
on all of my carts.

I had to place orders with 14 different stores, and before that, I had spent
many days searching through almost 20 carts I had worked up in the lead to the
splurge event.

Then, with money and time running out, there is an almost panic rush to make
sure I have not left anything out of what I need. I found that to be a nightmare,
I gave up on, but my solution idea below, would fix that quite easy.

It is quite a nightmare, scrolling through 14 different stores I have purchased
from, then to add the many of the carts I still need, and so on. There is just
one solution, that is simple to do, yet will help me in a major way.


SOLUTION

Have the ability, for me to get one single, and complete list, of all the items
I have purchased across those many orders I have paid for.

++ One for just the orders I have placed. This will help me tick off, what I
no longer need to purchase. Helps me greatly in knowing how much of what, I
may still need to get.

++ The option to include all carts, across all stores that I have items in their
carts.

++ Some way to compare Purchases vs Cart vs Wishlist.



Also while I am here

I would value having the ability to run a 'cart priority'. Doing a wishlist
is not an option at this stage. only a cart, ready to push through the register,
is good enough here.

I naturally, do one cart for selected items. This guy is the cheapest. But,
I may have a week before I get the funds required to buy it with. He/She may
sell out before I get that cart to the register. So, naturally, I will have
my 'backup cart'. with stocks from a second cheapest store, just in case
store #1 has sold out before I could buy that cart.

A simple means to mark each of the carts, in some way. Perhaps up to three or
four lists. Some ideas to think about.

Create a Wantlist usibgvthr Wantlist icon on the orders placed page, it's
a little scroll.
Select all items and move them to a new separate 'Bought'-Wantlist.

Or use the apply order button.
  
++ The option to include all carts, across all stores that I have items in their
carts.

Include carts into where?
On the Wantlist buy page, by clicking on items, the remaining wanted parts are
shown.

  
++ Some way to compare Purchases vs Cart vs Wishlist.

Same as above but copy the items instead of moving the items.

On the the buy tab you mark items on a Wantlist as required and do a search.
