If you are searching a specific sellers inventory for parts from your wanted
list, is there a way to see what parts from your list that the seller doesn't
have? It would be nice to know which parts need to be ordered from another store
without physically going through the whole parts list.

Hi,

“Negatives” (like differences and intersections) are difficult to manage here

(Truth be told, “positives” (merges) are a pain too….)


The solutions I can see (at this early hour…) are a bit complicated:

On BL only:
  Solution 1: Make an order.  Use ‘Apply Order’ to your WL.

  Solution 2: Go to the Buy page.  Select your Wanted List on the left then change
to the ‘Wanted Items’ tab (be sure both checkboxes ar ticked).  Click ‘Apply.’ 
Find the store in the list of potential stores.  Click on its line (NOT on its
name, but near it).  The items that are available in the store will be in green
or yellow, the ones that aren’t will be in black, plus, the available and wanted
quantities will be under the items (as “A/w (W)” where A is available in the
store, w is (Want minus Have), and W is Want).
  To then make a WL or modify your WL with that is an exercise left to the reader….

With BrickStore or Rebrickable:
Make a cart in the shop.  Download the cart (can be done in BS, for RB, I think
you first need to make a WL with the cart, which is possible from within the
cart).  And make a diff with your original WL.  Upload the diff.
