Hi,

when browsing though the "Items for Sale" pages in a store i would like to see
the quantity that i already have in my own inventory for the parts displayed
on the screen ...

Maybe somewhere on the right for each lot

So each lot will display how many are offered by the seller and i can immdiately
see how many i already have (in my store and storage A/B/C)

This will allow me to quickly identity how many parts i have and how many i will
/ can purchase

thx koen

Oooooooooooh! I like this. I was going back and forth between another store
and my store to see what I had before I purchased parts for a build. This would
be a great time saver.

Great suggestion!

I voted no for this reason.

If you have parts already in your store that are on your wanted list, why not
take them out of your store, reduce your wanted list and thus, that value will
always be 0.

The benefit to your suggestion would be pinpointing only those sellers who are
buying parts they don't already own and haven't taken the needed parts
out of their own store.

Seems like a small target audience.


Additionally, you can have a second window open with your store and wanted list.

Same reason I voted no. It just seems more complicated to have extra numbers
where many people will have no use for them. I don't want lots of extra zeroes
on my screen.

Hopefully this helps a little. It's a feature that I didn't know existed
for a long time until someone else pointed it out.
You can have your inventory shown in the Catalog item view page (see image 2
below) by checking the box shown in image 1. Go here to make that change: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogOptions.asp

That works on the catalog screen, I think the OP wants it in other people's
stores though.

So, if I am looking in your store, not only should it display how many of each
piece you have, it also has to tell me how many I have in my store (including
stockrooms)

Yeah, I get it. It would be useful for builders. I know it would come handy for
me. I assume it could be just like any other feature that you can turn on/off.
Although at this point, I doubt it will be implemented in BL 1.0 as it would
most likely break other things.

Thanks for that, Miro! That will save me a chunk of time.
