So then these "wishlist" creators will never really buy from LDDB. They have a wishlist that creates a false market, misleading sellers about potential customers. |

Perhaps some don't buy, but I'm not sure how you would get around that, whether they're receiving email notifications or not. When I have a bit of spare cash to spoil myself with some new LD's I always browse the stores by "also in my wish list". But I don't necessarily need or want an email notification every time a single title on the list is added to someones inventory. |

OK no problems with that but it shouldn't be posted under the title that X amount have it in their wishlist if those are not wanting to receive emails when discs are available. I have discs in my wishlist and won't pay some prices but they are common titles, so instead of giving a seller false hope that they could sell a title wouldn't it be better to only post people who are actually in the market for buying rather than tire kicking

If I understand you right you're working from an assumption that is basically people not receiving emails are not buying, people who are receiving emails are buying? The point I was trying to make was that there's no reason many people who are not receiving emails are still valid/active buyers who happen to browse their wishlist and buy at a time of their choosing rather than when they get a notification. On the flip-side how many people who are receiving emails might have them going to an old/invalid account, a junk mail folder, or just constantly ignore them. I do get though that the email notifications can act as a little 'tap on the shoulder' to have a look and maybe buy something at that time. I have occasionally been inspired to have a bit of a browse due to a notification, and then temptation can take over... Also I don't buy single discs, instead larger lots to reduce the postage per item. So I'll never buy a single disc because I've received a notification. It boils down to whether I can afford to purchase quite a few titles from my wishlist or not at that time. Perhaps it could be possible to show a number in wishlists and one for wishlists+notification? |

I really want the "fake" numbers under wishlist to be removed or changed to only people who really want to buy even if the price is wrong. Its making a false hope for people who try to sell discs. I just listed a title, there are 8 under wishlist but no offers yet????? My copy is the only one that's been offered for sale for the past 8 years here or ebay, so what good is it to see the actual numbers of how many want it. |

Bids attached to wishlists are not binding anyway so a crazy high bid on any given LD is not a sure transaction if you list it at this price. However, as mentioned above, wishlist items can either be:
If active, each notification offers a link to turn that specific disc notifications off. I should add the option to remove ALL (similar to unsubscribe/opt-out) notifications at once. Both Active and Private can be used to cross-check any given shop (or even against the complete inventory of all shops). Both active and Private will show up in the accumulated wishlists counters (there's up to 24-hour lag as these are freshed only once a day). I completely removed the "expiring wishlists" some time ago as it really didn't improve anything. Now the wishlist simply disappears from the pool when a frozen account gets deleted. Julien |

I think we all know they are not "binding" And i feel they should all be private and not listed publicly with any numbers posted for buyers and sellers to see this false number. |

That seems reasonable, maybe I could just show how many emails notifications will be potentially triggered (as a max number since additional price/condition parameters might no trigger the notification if not matched) instead?
