Hi,

the changes to Wanted lists seem quite nice, but some fine tuning will make it
even better.

- Missing the prices directly in the list - was a nice feature from old list.
If not directly shown in the new design, maybe just add a + sign to roll them
out or pop-over dialog.
- Transfer from list to catalog item to remember filter - now, if I click on
item in wanted lists it will get me to catalog item page. Both of these pages
allow filters, but they do not transfer. So let's say in my wanted list I
select New item and some max price. Would be nice that clicking on this item,
on the next page (catalog item) I will get these filters pre-filled

Quick shop is a nice feature, but has some drawbacks and lack some features
- Super-Lots - have a filter to ignore them in the shop lists
- Super-Lots - add a color to highlight wanted items (on left side) if present
only in super lots (currently green = match single lots quantity, yellow = some
quantity present, no color = "dear user please guess why this shop shows X of
X (100%) lot matches in shop list, but items do not show as present, maybe it's
part of super-lot, maybe not" )
- return more than one hit on auto finder, let's say top 3 - technically
you spent the CPU cycles to search them all, no ? So why not to display more
results.
- Sort shops by price option - enough said. If it's a resources problem,
then display only after running Auto Finder. Reason ? As per point above, you
already did the calculation, so why not to reuse and display the results.

I hope these help to make BL more usable

Constructive criticism. I like it.

I somewhat agree with all of your points, although finding more than one option
in the auto-finder may be difficult. The list the auto-finder generates is a
'living' list. You can deselect a store from it and it'll generate
a new list of stores below based on what you just removed from your overall order.
That being said, I do agree some sort of "sort by price" option would be useful.
Perhaps if they averaged all of the average prices together and show that? Like
if store a has 3 parts, and they're all 33% over average, it would show +33%,
whereas another store might have 4 parts which are 20,20,30, and 30% over average..
the overall average for that store would show as +25%.
