Hi,
I can filter the buy tab if I click on "Wanted Items" and place the lock.
Problem is: I dont know how to fix the qty of that item. I want to buy 50x the
same part. I can lock the part, but it also does show shops that have that item
just once.

I know I can checkmark "Lots below Wanted qty" but then only shops are
listed the fullfil all of items of my Wanted List with my demanded qty, right?

I want that the system shows me stores that have my wanted qty only for a particular
item. And it should show which store can fulfill my whole Wanted List best. How
can I do that?

Hi,

You can’t do that on the Buy page, that’s too fine-grained.

If you absolutely want to find that item in only one store, you select only that
item, with the quantity filter…
and then you find the cheaper/best and look at what other parts it offers…
and if it’s okay, you reselect all the items, find back that store and Select
it.
Then you use Auto-select to find the other stores to fulfill the rest of the
WL.

And then you go through all the stores and check that they don’t have items cheaper
than the first store.

And after spending a couple hours (or more) adjusting your carts, you realize
you saved 50% on the “dumb” whole-list-no-special-item Auto-select solution 🥳
… or, on the contrary, you realize you spent hours for a worse solution 😭
Both are equally possible 🤷‍♂️
