I have come to accept the likelihood that I do not get emails from
Brickbay every time my want list is hit. Instead of doing manual searches
all I do is go to 'my wanted' page which shows all of my wanted items and
where I can buy them. I check my wanted page every couple of days for the
following reasons: 1) Parts which may have been priced too high may now be
on sale 2) To Track whether or not other people are buying the parts which I
want for more than I was willing to pay for them 3) To be sure I havent
missed anything 4) To see if any one store has more than one item I want
which may in the end justify paying a bit more to save on shipping.
I only use the wanted feature for must-have parts that if I dont buy ASAP
someone else will, or that I just can't do without...like tall brown
ladders. There are also a lot of other non-priority parts that I need ,but
are readily available, like 1x1 dk grey headlight bricks, so I count on
checking the daily added parts list to determine whether or not my needs
will be satisfied by a purchase. I check the daily list often which also
allows me to 'watch the competition' and stay on top of pricing and which
parts /sets/ themes are saturated etc. Hope this gives some insight because
all is not lost when the 'wanted list' email is:)
Have a great weekend!
