Question for tech regarding wanted lists.

Does anyone know if the wanted list criteria are set to defer to the quantity
available for vs. must buy qty? I had a bulk lot of QTY 50 for sale (must buy
50) and my buyer only had 30 on his wanted list yet the system added the qty
50 of bulk to his order. He didn't catch that he was getting more than he
needed and that's on him.

My buyer wanted 30 trans clear #4073 (on his wanted list)
I had for sale Qty 50 BULK #4073 (20 more than he needed but must buy 50 to save
$) so the system chose that for him.

I was just wondering if the Bricklink system recognizes the difference. Technically
I didn't have the item at the quantity he needed, so why did the system defer
him the bulk quantity?

Thanks!

You didn't have the *exact* quantity he wanted but the system will also find
stores that have *more* than the exact quantity.

You can set the search to look for *fewer*.
