  Wanted list item needs status: "Item ordered".

When I buy something from the wanted list, I change the max price to 0.00001
or something so item doesn't show on the next shop's "show wanted parts" list.
This is the only way to mark what items are already bought.
Not the best way, but don't know any better.

Deleting parts from the list is not the best choise because if order is lost
or some part is missing, you have to add those parts all over again to the wanted
list.
I delete them when items are in my hand.

Or maybe someone has better idea to do this?

I have an extra wanted list which I call 'Items ordered' and all I do is move
those parts that I have ordered into that separate list and simply eliminate
that list from my next search/look for stuff I want, so the bits I've already
ordered don't show up.

This is made even easier if you enable the 'Items in Order in Wanted List' icon
on your Orders Placed page because when you click on that it shows all the items
in the order that you placed that are actually on any of your wanted lists and
you can move them all in one go (to your separate Items Ordered wanted list).
Saves you having to do it one by one, or indeed changing the max price for each
to 0.00001 as you do.

My Items Ordered list just sits there then and I can delete the parts from it
as they arrive (again made easier by using the same 'Items in Order in Wanted
List' facility mentioned above). Plus it's there ready for future use too.

This method works very well for me

Thanks for the tip! Haven't ever noticed that there are more settings behind "Orders Placed Columns" link. Bricklink is full of personal settings, and that's a good thing :) [...]

[...] I do something very similar: I create a wanted list for each individual order that I place, then move (when I order all of an item I need) or copy (when I order less [...]
