| Since we've been told that the next big update will be focused on seller
needs, I figured I'd start posting some suggestions of things I'd like
to see added as a seller. Some may already have appeared before.
Please add the ability to set an alert if the stock level of a particular lot
goes below a certain level.
For example, if I have less than 4 Stormtroopers left in my store, I will want
to order some more Battle Packs, so I'd like BrickLink to track the stock
levels for that lot.
The alert could send me an email or text message, but the more important way
for this to be stored would be a page on BrickLink where I could go to see all
the lots that currently have an active alert. Whenever I am placing orders to
restock my store, I would visit this page to see what I need.
The ability to set this alert would appear as an option in the inventory listing
for each lot. It should include a checkbox if the alert should be emailed, and
a text-box to specify the stock level that triggers the alert.
On the page that lists all the lots with active alerts, we should be able to
update whether the alert is emailed, the stock level that triggers it, and we
should also be able to delete the alert altogether from that page.
There are a number of ways that stock levels can be adjusted, so there may be
a few different times that the system needs to check if new lots need to be alerted.
Certainly, when an order is placed. But it would also be useful if the check
is also run when there is an API update, so that sellers who reduce their inventory
through the API can also get the notification of the stock level drop.
If the push notifications would cause too many emails to be sent, I would be
satisfied just with the page that lists all the lots with active alerts.

| I'd love to see this set up to also alert sellers if their total number of
lots or parts falls below a certain level, or if their certain number of overall
items in a category (for example, tiles), falls too low.
