Would it be possible to designate a start time when you list items for sale in
your BL shop? I am not talking about starting a sale (which is covered by a different
suggestion), but simply listing any lot at whatever price (regular or otherwise)
but not having that lot show up in your shop, the catalog or sending out wanted
notices until a certain time designated by the seller.

I know on eBay there is a feature to schedule the start time of one's auction
rather than having it start immediately. I was wondering if such a feature was
doable here as well.

Again, there may be technical or server problems to this. If so, maybe each seller
could be limited in the number of lots with scheduled listings.

Is this a question or a suggestion?

May I ask what would be the practical purpose? For eBay auctions, I see very
good reasons - but for BrickLink lots, it's helpful NOT to list (interesting)
lots during (longer?) absence in order to handle incoming orders without delay,
so listing them at the planned time seems to be pretty reasonable.

[Just curious, no offense intended!]
