Hello,

I'm new here and not very skilled with market.
My question is: if I have 3 pieces in Wanted List, is there a way to search for
sellers that have all of them?

Thanks, bye
Roberto

Yes. If you hover over the "heart" for Want list and select "Buy". Then on
the next page, select the check box for all the wanted list that you would like
to search for and click "Apply". Then you can manually filter through the provided
list or use the "auto-select" feature.

Yes, use the Buy tab https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
Click Wanted Items and select the items from the desired Wantlist and set the
search preferences to search for the best combination of stores.

And then the Unique Lots column shows the sellers who have the higher quantity
of pieces I'm searching for, right?

Thanks!

Yes.

Unique lots = number of lots from your WL the shop has (can’t be more than what
you want).
Item count = number of items from your WL the shop has (can be more than what
you want).

Say you want 10x 2x4 bricks in Blue, and 10x in Red.  That’s 2 lots.

If the seller can sell you both, the Unique lots number will be 2.  If they have
only one colour, it will be 1.
You can also check the item count to see if they have many of them (in case you
actually want to buy more than what’s on your WL).

And the search also shows the stores that have the items but not in the quantity
you want.
You need to check the box “Lots below Wanted qty” in the Exclude column to hide
them.
That is, unless you’re okay with buying from multiple sellers.


Also, Min buy = the minimal amount you need to buy in the shop, otherwise you
can’t check out.


((Just for information:
The Classic By Shop shows “Lots (Unique)”.  The first number is the total number
of lots that match your WL lots, it may be bigger than the number of lots you
want.

Explanation: A lot in a store is different than a lot in a WL.
In a WL, a lot is a combination (type + colour).  You can only have one per WL.
In a shop, a lot is a group of items, without any constraint.

To be clear, some sellers have the same bricks (type + coulour) in different
lots (for instance, some are Used, some are New, or some you need to buy by multiple
of 10x, or they just have them in different places or whatever, sometimes the
prices are different, sometimes not).

If the seller has no Blue bricks but has 3 lots of the Red bricks, the total
number of lots would be 3!  But their number of Unique lots would be 1 (because
you have only 1 lot in your WL for Red bricks).
