Hi,


So let's I have a list with 100 lots. I find a store where I can buy 50 lots.
I add them to my cart.
Is there a way to select another store and to look for the 50 other lots from
the same list.
And if so, let's say the second store sells 14 lots. Would it be possible
to look in a third store for the remaining 36 lots?

Yeah I know that BL has a tool to find stores that will let me get all the lots,
but the results are not always satisfying.

Have a nice one.

Hi,

I only see two ways:

1. The very hard way.

Update your WL manually and change all the Have fields after each store.  (There’s
a filter you need to activate when you visit a store to exclude the lots you
already have when search your WL.)

2. The hard way.

Use the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page ) for your WL. 
Find the store (if it’s a ‘good’ store, it should be in the first page(s)). 
Use the Select button for this store to prepare a pre-cart.  The list of stores
will automatically update for only the remaining items in the WL.
Use the Wanted Items tab on the left to see the items in your WL.  You can also
exclude items there or add items from another list.

Note on the pre-cart / Select button: it won’t be a real cart yet and you can
only modify the quantities of the lots that were found or remove the lots, you
won’t be able to browse the store (or, if you do, the Buy page won’t know about
it).
Maybe the store has other / better lots for the same part (doubtful but can happen
with bulk / tiered lots).
But you’ll still be able to fine tune that once the pre-carts / “selections”
have been transformed in real carts.

IOW: no one forces you to use EasyBuy (booh) or Auto-select (meh), you can select
stores manually and still profit from the Buy page search powers

Oui.  Mes briques!  Mes précieuses!

(C’est une contrainte technique qui m’a forcé à passer au statut vendeur pour
devenir modérateur.)

The way I do this is to place the first order. Once the order is placed then
you can use the "Apply order" button on the wanted list. This will update
the "have" counts for all the items in the order that are on the wanted
list.

I then place the second order, and so on.

OK so if you have a wanted list and you hit Buy Now you are presented with a
list of stores ordered by how many items and lots that store can fulfill. You
can filter this list of stores to only the country you live in, etc.

You click Select button next to the store, you see the prices are reasonable,
you update the quantities you want and hit Confirm Store button at the bottom.


This store is now at the top of the search of stores. However the search at
the bottom now has been updated for the stores that can fullfill the rest of
the wanted list. Rinse repeat until you're list is fully spoken for and
then you can hit Create carts for each store and buy your parts.

Hope this helps. You can try this out without buying anything. Selecting and
confirming a store does nothing other than hold those parts waiting for you to
create a cart.
