| Wanted list allows one to keep an eye on deal or rare piece or such. It has quantity,
color, price, etc but it does not have an option to be notified if the criteria
is met and seller is from home country. No option to limit to country at all!
Shipping is not cheap (almost always costs a lot once the package gross weight
is over 500g or about 1 pound, 1 oz) and there's fairly new part that came
out this year. They are going below 40 cents a piece but they all are in Europe
and if I am going to snap up about 100, the shipping would kill any saving from
buying in USA at 80 cents each. Not to mention shipping can take a few weeks
or longer, depending on if your country's custom are lax (a few days delay
with no tax) or cranky and stingy (a few months and really high tax).
I would like to see an option to get notified only if the seller has them, meets
other criteria, and is from specific country (or just "same country as buyer")
so I don't have to check back every few days to see if the price has dropped
in USA. Bookmarking the search result works but I'd like automatic notification
and not having to check every bookmark or such.
