If you are using it wrong, then I've made the same error countless times. It
frustrated me enough that I barely use it.
The cart is probably a temporary session variable or cookie and most likely is
"per store", as you suspect.
Besides adding a "wish list", it would be a great help if you could build a
"shopping list" that could then become the search/match criteria (including your
geographic location). The objective would be to find stores to do as much "one
stop shopping" from as possible. This could also make searching the site less
tedious, from a shopping point of view.
It should be noted that Bricklink is great for what it was originally designed
to do, which is bridge people looking for parts with people willing to sell
parts on a per-piece basis or in customized bulk quantities. The database(s)
were very well thought out and very detailed.

Subject: Bricklink Cart Operation
I have a feeling I'm not quite using Bricklink in the right way.
I put several things in my shopping cart in Bricklink the other day
until I could get some help on finding another item.
Today I looked in my cart and it was empty. Doesn't the
cart stay filled until I'm ready to order?
I'm beginning to suspect each store has its own cart, and I need to go
to a specific store to look at my cart instead of it being some general
cart for all stores. If so, how do I recall what stores I ordered from?

| That stung me early on, too. The Bricklink cart only persists as long as your browser is pointed at the store. If you leave one store and go to another, the cart is gone. If you are doing comparison shopping, you might want to create a wanted list, (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| Fut - lugnet.market.brickshops as the people who read that group will most likely have a better answer for you. I'll give it a go anyways. When you go to a shop and put items in your shopping cart, you have only created a list of items at that shop (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.market.brickshops)
