Same, and a lot of times the shipping fees are what kills it. I've asked around and almost every US seller charges at least 50 dollars for around 4-5 discs - which, considering the titles I actually want, increases the final price of my shopping by double or more, suddenly making it far less tempting, and instead I just end up waiting and hoping somebody in Europe lists them instead. Or I just go to ebay instead and use the wishlist as a memo. The most use I get out of it the ability to compare a seller's shop to it and see if they carry something I actually want and not just blow all my money on impulse shopping.

There is maybe 50 movies in my wish list, then even each movie is cheap, it is not possible to buy it all now. It will take some years. Then wish list is very useful for users as a memo. I use the wishlist in the same light ...... ... as a memo and a heads up when a title of interest gets listed at the LDDB.

It’s great for buyers, apparently annoying for sellers. So you don't have the 8 bucks to buy the CD in a wishlist??? I'm cheap but that's really cheap. This isn't just about one type of wishlist, its for all these different wishlists, just too much already. I think it should be a more private thing if people aren't going to shell out big bucks like 8 dollars.

I think it should be a more private thing if people aren't going to shell out big bucks like 8 dollars. If I have 1000 $8 CDs on my wish list then no, I don’t have the scratch for that. I get wishlist notifications almost every day. I’m not LD shopping every day. I make that list so that when I am shopping I can instantly see what’s for sale among the ones I want. It’s not your wish list, it’s mine. Now does it make sense? And I guess I don’t even know if people’s wishlist is public or private. I know I never look at anyone’s and I’m also never pissed off about it.
