Buying Privileges - OK
Hello,
I did my wishlist bricks by bricks and happened to use the Buy all / Autoselect
feature to have an idea for the price. The first time i did this, prices were
between 200-280$CAD. I hesitated a few times to actually add them to my cart.
Now a week later, average price is up to 400 and more $CAD. I am starting to
feel like i am buying a plane ticket online and the more I wait, the more prices
are increasing.

Does somebody knows why this is happening so fast?

Maybe some of your parts are relatively rare and the cheap ones were bought last
week, making them harder to find, maybe making the algorithm find new stores.

Or do you have parts in colour “Not Applicable”?  It’s a mystery to me how the
algorithm picks parts to fulfill such lots: it picks a lot from a store but it’s
not the cheapest matching store or even the cheapest lots in the store.
