I think that would be better for the trading on here, so that you don't have to poke around trying to find what someone wants... I voted No just due to the potential of abuse. If wanted lists were public you would have less scrupulous sellers contacting customers directly to make offsite deals, which would lower Bricklink's fee income potentially hurting the site in the long run. Just my opinion. Agreed, that's almost certainly #1 reason why it has been rejected before. My take on this is that the site is designed so that buyers can find what they need without being pestered by sellers acting like double glazing salesmen. Robert
