So, I know this is a pointless vanity feature, but Bricklink seems to remember
who I have bought from far beyond any information on the order itself, and I
think it would be cool to have a map showing everywhere I have purchased bricks
from. Having it very specific and interactive would be neat, but even as simple
as state/country and number of orders would be interesting to see.

While it's a nice feature not sure it would work well as it may be data heavy
from processing each user but do like the idea

Buy a world map and stick a pin in everywhere you buy/sell too.

I had thought of that. My problem is it didn't occur to me unil however many
years later and I can't get the info now. Trying to recompile through my
feedback, I lose about 20% of my orders, but I know they know them all, somewhere.

Also it's way easier if they do it for me. :-p

This is very cool! I have purchased from 665 different sellers in 23 countries
in 19 years.

These are fun stats.
