  If there was a way to add a column in the WantedBy Shop report that gave you
the average price of parts on your list at that shop.

I like the general concept of anything that facilitates easy comparison shopping
to fulfill Wanted Lists... I'm not sure how well this suggestion will work in
reality though.

For every single one of my Wanted Lists I have ever used, there are 0 stores
that have all the items I am looking for. As such, a price comparison based
on the average price of the partially available parts in each shop isn't a fair
comparison.

One shop might have all the common parts and appear to have a low average price.
Another that has most of the common parts and one of the rare (=expensive) parts
may appear to have a higher price. Upon closer examination, though, one could
find that the average common price is lower at the 2nd store.

I Agree
