"Active" sellers List).
When looking at my wanted list(s) I would like the option to show "Active" sellers
first.
Reasoning:
As I find sellers with multiple, low price parts, I can add them to my active
list.
Thanks,

I need 14 2x2 Corners in Tan I had already found BrickWilbo had several other
items I needed so I moved them to My "10101-Wilbo" Wanted list.
Later in my search I figured out I needed to buy parts from Mike's Brick Emporium
- He has some HTF doors I need. Wilbo charges 8c for the corner, Mike 6c. Since
I have already moved this part to the wilbo list, I missed the opportunity to
get it cheaper from Mike. It means I have to do an elaborate second pass on my
lists to see if I can get the parts cheaper from my other active orders (I have
8 suppliers, takes about 5 minutes per part do dig through sellers that I am
not using until I find the cheapest one on my active list. I have 14 pages of
parts! this takes days to get best price! It will be quicker for me to write
a screen scraper application do dig the information out of Bricklink. If I had
Matlab I would already be using the the one written by axledad

I don't see a real difference between "Active" or "Favorites".
Creating lists "by seller" makes it more complicated, time-consuming and confusing.
It's already possible to move/copy parts to a "seller X-list" and search by list.
|
Without making lists by seller, how do you identify which parts you have found
a suitable seller for?
|
I search with the By Shop Tab with "Unique lots".
When browsing the top stores I decide wich parts I buy.
| | | |
People use their own strategies within the available features.
Although they could me improved, they work.
|
People I have discussed this with are frustrated that they have to go through
this tedious process to avoid paying too much for parts, so sorry to be blunt
but your logic fails here. They may work, but only if you are a seller.
|
I'm also a buyer.
| | | | | | Although as I write post and read hints from others I suspect that sellers exploit
this "non"-functionality - They have lots of basic popular parts quite cheap
and multi-listed. They then list premium items with inflated values on the assumption
that when someone has selected a supplier they are likely to fill out the order
with that seller.
|
Least favorite them. 
|
Least Favorite doesn't take them off the wanted list
|
No, but you can leave them immediately when you see the red least favorite star.
