I have a lot of suggestions but was always to lazy to post them.
I guess I can make a new post for every category so people and admins/moderators
can discuss it?

Wanted lists / orders:

1. - When applying orders to your wanted list it would be nice to add multiple
orders at once. AND it would be nice if Bricklink would remember which orders
you allready applied to a wanted list / to the wanted list you are working in.

2. - In your wanted list it would be nice if you can see how many you still
need.
(ATM You can see how many you want and how many you have, but not how many you
still need).

3. - It would be nice if you can sort in your wanted list by how many you still
need and/or hide (fade?) all items you allready bought enough from.

4. - Also it would be nice to actually connect orders to wanted lists. So if
you are missing anything you can see which orders you are still waiting for OR
which orders didn't send you enough parts.

5. - I would like to be able to shop in my own store. It makes no sense that
I am buying parts from other sellers while I have them myself. Very frustrating.
I would even be willing to pay a small fee.

6. - It would be nice if you can play more with the automatic buying options
from the wanted list. I always have the preference t buy in my own country first.
Then bricklink says how much % you are buying (85% of your wanted list you can
buy IN your country).
But it doesn't show which parts you CANT buy in your country. So if you have
long wanted lists (dozens or hundreds of parts) it can be a lot of work to figure
out which parts you still need to buy.

Ok,
This was my first post.
I never post anything on this forum, so really curious if I did everything correctly
and how this proceeds.

Greetings,
Bram - Brams Bouwstenen (Netherlands, Breda)

People can vote on suggestions (there’s Yes/No links above the Reply button when
you read the post).
When there’s multiple suggestions in the same post, it becomes difficult to know
what you would be voting for… and so you don’t vote.

3. - It would be nice if you can sort in your wanted list by how many you still
need and/or hide (fade?) all items you allready bought enough from.

You can’t sort by “Want minus Have” but you can filter out the items where “Have
≥ Want.”
You need to click the “More Options” link next to the search box and the option
is at the bottom of the “Item filters” column (middle).

But it doesn't show which parts you CANT buy in your country. So if you have
long wanted lists (dozens or hundreds of parts) it can be a lot of work to figure
out which parts you still need to buy.

You can filter on your country, use Auto-select, and then look in the “Wanted
Items” tab on the left (mark 2 on the first pic here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
).
Depending on the options, the “selected” items will be hidden or will have a
Qty of 0.

Thanks for explaining!
So should I delete this and make many new suggestions?
Or shall I just wait and see what happens?
Also, do many people vote here? I don't see any votes yet on this topic?

Kind regards,
Bram.

Suggestions are... suggestions.
Some here in forum has been made 10 yrs ago.

We've no idea what LEGO wish, and it's a corporation - they may not have
the users concerns


  Or shall I just wait and see what happens?

Don't wait.
Use BrickStore, free open source:
https://www.brickstore.dev/

You can / SHOULD use it to manage your shop, wanted-lists, etc.
You can even remove from your shop - I do this often when we're on a project.


  Also, do many people vote here? I don't see any votes yet on this topic?

Vote are secret, and... see above

I think some of Bram’s are already there too.

First, they need to understand us.
How My Collection works (or rather, doesn’t) shows they aren’t quite there.

Don't wait.

Well, for sure, don’t wait for an instant implementation.

You can wait for more discussion… but I think we about all agree that it would
be nice features (that should have been there from the start).

Well, not totally secret: the Admins know (or can find out in the database)
(Mods don’t know.)
