Hi

I'm new here.

I have recently added quite alot of bricks to my wanted list and just managed
to purchase quite alot from the one seller. I actually thought once I done this
it would automatically remove these from my wanted list but it hasn't.
I'm not talking a few bricks I'm talking over 700. Do I need to manually
go through my list and remove them myself ?? Thanks

This is not totally automatic.

If you have all your items in one Wanted List, you can open that WL and use the
“Apply Order” button.
It will list the orders that have items that match your WL and it will change
the ‘Have’ fields in your WL.

Beware: This feature has no memory!  You can apply the same order multiple times
and if you
have multiple WLs, it starts ‘full’ for each one / it doesn’t remember what was
‘used’ in one WL when you apply the same order to another one.

The ‘Quantity’ field isn’t changed.
In most situations, the website will correctly use ‘Quantity’ minus ‘Have’ as
a quantity.
In some situtations (I think auto-fill max in a store), it won’t.

This also doesn’t handle items in the colour Not-Applicable (N/A, means ‘any
colour’ for parts in a WL), as the ordered items do have another colour and therefore
there’s no match.


One other solution is indeed to go through your list(s) item by item, editing
them or moving them to an “ordered” WL.


Yet another solution is to use third-party tools, like BrickStore (application)
or Rebrickable (website), to do some ‘list arithmetic’ (difference, intersection,
merge…).
