| Hi,
I think a check box would be handy when placing an order to remove items from
wanted list.
When you do up a wanted list, lets say you part out a set and find 1500 of 2000
items in store, when you place the order you can check a box to remove these
items from the wanted list or make a new list of what you are missing so you
can then do another search for what is missing and repeat. Its quite tedious
unticking so many different items.
List 1 2000 parts 1500 found
list 2 500 parts 300 found
list 3 200 parts 200 found

I would love to see updates to the wanted list features that make it easier to
manage, such as this one.

I'll dissuade and downvote any option that automatically removes items
from wanted lists. If I want 8 of a part and order all 3 that a seller has I
don't want it removed from my list.
There are items in ANY quantity I'll buy any time a seller happens to have them
for sale, so I have no minimum-quantity on my wanted list

If more buyers learned that this function already existed and actually used it,
there wouldn't be so many requests for some sort of automatic function.
The site already gives you this link when you place every order. More people
just need to read.

You can already do (part of) this:
Once the order is placed you can follow a link that will take you to a page that
shows what items of that order appear on your Wanted List and you can delete
or otherwise edit them.
You can also go to your Orders Placed page, Customize the appearance:
http://www.bricklink.com/orderSettingsCols.asp?v=p&viewFrom=O
and check the box next to "Items in Order on My Wanted List Icon" (1st column,
2nd row)
And it will put a link on each order line so you can edit your wanted list with
each orders' contents.

There are many threads on how to improve the wanted list functionality. fwiw,
I do not remove items from the list when they are ordered. Too often a seller
does not have the part, or it gets lost in shipping or.... Plus, my notes in
the wanted list often tell me why I want the part. My memory is not what it
used to be and the note often saves a lot of head scratching. Once a part is
ordered, it goes from the main wanted list to the "on order" wanted list. When
the part arrives, it is purged from the "on order" list.

Figure out how to make it delete items from the _correct_ wanted list first.
Then come back and propose this idea again.
I have items that may be on three or more secondary Wanted Lists, and it'd kinda
suck if every time I bought an item in a store, it deleted every instance from
every list. Well, that's not actually a problem, since _I_ prefer to bump my
list entries over to my .Purchased list when I place an order, so I can double-check
my order against everything that I'm waiting to receive. If I'm only building
one MOC, it lets me know how close I am to getting everything so I can maybe
do a partial assembly. If I'm building more than one, it lets me know which
ones I have everything for and which I don't.
Also, to make this sort of thing work, you'd definitely need to add a new field
to the Wanted List entries, for "quantity desired". Currently there's an entry
for "minimum quantity", but that's to eliminate any listings that don't meet
that threshold (in which case you'd never need to trim down your entry by partial
amounts). There's also a Notes field, but that is not restricted to quantity
desired. I often use it to specify what MOC I need the part for, whether it's
something that I just need to buy lots of, or if it's an alternate part to something
else on my list (like jumper plates w/o groove vs jumper plates w/ groove).
So just because there's a number in that field doesn't mean the buyer wants that
quantity of that part. Maybe he's building a landscape to recreate the battle
in "300", but he only needs 130 of a certain part, and nobody has that many in
one lot. Can't use the min qty field, because he won't get any hits. Can't
use the Notes field, because it wouldn't be able to tell whether you meant the
130 or the 300 (or 130,300!).
