| | Dear Members of the BrickLink community,
as many of those of you who buy LEGO parts etc. on this site may know, for quite
a while the Buy Wizard (as invoked from a Wanted List) has shown a price comparison
for parts as percentages relative to the average price. This was visible when
selecting an individual shop from the results that were shown by the Buy Wizard,
and price differences were highlighted in green or red (indicating whether the
price of a part was higher or lower than the average price). In addition, a total
average difference (also expressed as percentage) was shown at the bottom of
the list.
This was in my view an extremely useful feature which made it possible to identify
particularly inexpensive parts from a sellers list or highly priced items. I
have used this feature in many cases, and for example have increased the amount
of parts ordered for relatively inexpensive parts and removed very expensive
parts from the list that I then added to my shopping cart.
Now suddenly this feature has been completely removed. I have initially suspected
this to be a bug, but E-mail communication with maintainers of the BrickLink
site has revealed that removal of this feature was intentional. This has been
done quite without notifying the community and without providing any reasons
or explanations. I do not agree with the removal of this feature and believe
that many users - especially Buyers - find this feature extremely useful. I therefore
request that it will be restored and ask for the support of the BrickLink community.
Best regards, Thomas

Did you read any of the previous discussions or suggestions about the removal?
