Hi all,

I've been having some problems with buying from wanted lists. Almost every
time, I'm missing pieces in orders that should have been pulled from the
wanted list. I've confirmed that it's not a problem with the stores ordered
from. I've looked at the wanted list menu on the side, and it says that everything
has been added (ex. 100/100 wanted items). I would hope that it means everything
is good to go, but it's not?

Besides looking through the carts manually, is there a way to make sure I have
everything from my lists? Could I be missing a step?

Thanks

Hi,

  I've been having some problems with buying from wanted lists. Almost every
time, I'm missing pieces in orders that should have been pulled from the
wanted list. I've confirmed that it's not a problem with the stores ordered
from. I've looked at the wanted list menu on the side, and it says that everything

Indeed, it’s not.

100/100 means: I found 100 lots, you wanted 100 lots, but the two are not counted
the same way!

If the algorithm had to use more than one lot in a store, or in several store,
they are all counted in the first number!

For instance: you want 3x Red bricks, it finds 1x in one store and 2x in another:
it’ll say it found 2/1 (200%!!!).

Same problem with bulk lots (when a store wants you to buy 100x of a part, even
if you want only 10x).


  Besides looking through the carts manually, is there a way to make sure I have
everything from my lists? Could I be missing a step?

Use the Wanted Items tab of the left: the items that are in Selected shops will
disappear (or show 0, depending on the boxes you tick). So if there’s still
items in there once you’ve used Auto-select, those parts weren’t found and won’t
be ordered.
