I'm buying a lot of parts to build a specific thing.

When I'm in someone's store that I am buying from, I always check to
see if they have any parts on one of my Wanted lists so I can add them in. However,
sometimes parts at not competitively priced and there are huge ranges on some
parts/figs (I've seen $80 and $50 for the same fig).

It would save me a lot of time if there was a way to quickly find *reasonably
priced* items on my wanted list at a given store. I.e. "Add to cart all items
on this list at this store where the price is within 10% of what this part usually
goes for"

There are a ton of parts that I have basically infinite demand for at the market
price, or slightly below. Every time I shop at a store I want to add any copies
that the current seller has where they aren't gouging me.

If you are buying expensive items, it may be worth shopping around for a better
deal. For example, suppose two stores have the same minifig, but one is selling
it for $50, and the other is selling it for $80. Then buy the $50 minifig.

You can set a max price on any item in your wanted list, and then exclude stores
where selling over the max price from your searches. If you're already in
the store then the max price will be highlighted if the seller's price is
over.

Obviously voted no, since this causes a race to the bottom.
