| There may be an action for this that is similar and I don't know about it, but
here is my random suggestion anyway.
I operate out of two locations, one location has my personal collection (home),
and my apartment has my store. I commonly visit home and need items from my store
at my apartment. I believe it could be nice to have the ability to shop in your
own store and place an order with your self, that way you have a nice record
of everything you want to take from your own store and it would remove it from
your own store in one action. OF COURSE!! you would not be able to feedback
yourself, and this transaction would not effect the price guide, it would have
to be a separate system. For example, you build your cart in your own store,
and on the check out page select "personal order" so that your "order" is not
technically a Bricklink order. I hope this makes sense. And if something like
this exist, please let me know because I will use it like crazy!

Tweak it so that it goes to your inventory showing all the items in the cart.

You could use one of the stockrooms. Before going to your store, move the items
you want into the stockroom which will remove them from sale in your store. Then
go to the store, pick the itmes you stockroomed for yourself, then delete the
stockroom entries for them. If you could actually place an order in your own
store then you'd pay the site 3% for the benefit of takng your own stock too!

Also consider that ideas that are good to implement are done to either correct
an issue or affect a good portion of the population. I don't think your idea
does.
you are asking for Bricklink to put something in place for the masses that could
be solved with a bit of leg work on some of the few that would require it.

Actually I think many (if not the majority) of sellers would use the feature
as we are not just sellers, but builders and fans as well. We often need part
we have on hand in our shops, but to manually remove them takes so much time
it is a big pain. I'd gladly pay 3% on my "order" to have this way of easily
browsing my store (especially using a set inventory wanted list) and removing
items with a nice page showing what exactly I need to pull for myself.
Being as this idea has been brought up here many times by multiple posters gives
reason to believe there are lots who want/would use it. I think the simple addition
of a "personal order" button making a seller able to place the order would be
a relatively simple and a great tweak to the current system.

As long as the items are not part of the priceguide (people might try to influence
the price guide that way) or at least 'shown' with a color that those were 'bought'
by the owner.
YES to the suggestion

This feature has been asked for many times, by many people. I think that more
people will find it useful then you do. I certainly would find it useful.

| I have been thinking about, and hoping for such a feature for a long time!
It takes so much effort to select all the parts from your store manually.
Only last week I had to manually remove over 150 lots in order to "pick" the
parts from my own build which were listed in my store.
I vote a big YES!

| I actually just ran into this issue on Sunday. I was putting together a bunch
of parts for myself, and when I went to check out... not allowed! I did not care
about the 3%, because of the convenience of having an order I can print with
all the parts I took out, and for the ability to not have to manually reduce
my inventory for each and every item. I think this a great idea, especially not
allowing it to affect the price guide. Unfortunately, I do not think anyone is
listening. I have seen many superb ideas come and go without any action this
year.

I'm not sure nobody is listening. Admin has posted that he is working on an improved
site but that this will come as one package, not, as in the past little tweeks
here and there. Personally I favour this approach as long as the world is not
turned upside down in the process.

I am in favor of this, but I don't think I would do it if there were fees involved
(especially 3%), in that case I would probably still subtract out manually.

I really don't see the need to 'buy' from your own store.
It isn't that much trouble in taking it out of your Inventory?
Maybe it's because I am Dutch, but I don't like to pay fees on something I need
myself and did not sell.
To complete a set or something else I just take it out of my inventory, you only
need to be carefull enough to take the right amount from the inventory.
I only use 'buying in my store' to make sure if I am still on track in selling.
I check what the remaining amount of money is, for instance Indiana Jones minifigs/parts
from 1 buy, to make sure it's still on the healthy side of making some money.
After checking I empty my shoppingbasket.

A few parts are not that big of a deal, but when taking out thousands of parts
to build a large Moc or set it becomes a pain. When I was collecting parts for
a Corner Cafe and a Market Street at the same time it became a nightmare adjusting
my inventory. What ended up taking many hours could of been done in a short time,
well worth the 3% fee to Bricklink. It would be great if Bricklink added it as
a free service for sellers inventories, but it would still be worth it to pay.
Think about it, put the set inventory into your wanted list, go to you store,
add all wanted parts to cart, check out, print order, and pull at your leisure.
How great would that be!

Yes.
In fact, it would be nice to get a wider increase in the ability of sellers to
edit their store using the buyer's interface.
I'd like to be able to change prices, quantities and comments from within the
store, instead of having to leave the buyer's interface and go find the items
in the "My Inventory" pages.
