I'm totally new to bricklink. Firstly thanks to all the people who make this
happen.
It's awesome!
One suggestion / request though...
We all know that shipping costs are the real killer when it comes to ordering
bricks. I recently purchased a bulk lot of used lego sets and had to order around
200 pieces that were missing. Ultimately I had to order parts from about 7 different
stores and three different countries to get all the bits I wanted. No one store
had all the bits I needed. It was a very pain-staking process to try and find
the smallest number of different stores that could fill my order. Ultimately
the price of each brick wasn't too important. It worked out a lot cheaper
to buy bricks at twice the price from half as many different stores.
I think it would be great if users could enter a list of desired parts and bricklink
offered an automated search that could generate the shortest possible list of
suppliers (the fewest number of different stores) that would be able to supply
all the parts needed.

This already exists somewhat. It's the Wanted List feature. You can explore
it by clicking on the heart at the upper right side of your screen.
