YES. This is a business killer for me. I started using Bricklink before the
feature was in place, ordering parts to complete sets to sell. And the feature
was really nice for that, but with the small part quantities I could find decent
prices without it- but I really wanted that feature and was glad when it came.

Then I pushed the business forward and began to make MOCs to sell. And they
are selling! With the ability to compare prices I could manage my parts supply
and started to put in much larger Bricklink orders in a fraction of the time.
Today I'm trying to place a 1000+ part order and don't have the time
or patience to wade through the stores with ridiculous prices to find parts at
a reasonable price. And if I do I'll end up with orders from 20 stores instead
of 5, and the only winner is the USPS.

I sell on eBay where the buyer is heavily favored, and now I'm supposed to
buy where the seller is heavily favored?!?! That's a losing proposition
on both sides.

I know the system wasn't perfect but it helped a LOT. If this gets read
by the Bricklink staff, please consider the fact that buyers like me will simply
go away if we can't turn a profit.

Thank you for an AWESOME site. Please help make it easier for the buyers to
buy. That will ensure that buyers like myself will continue to buy, grow our
businesses, and grow your business.
