Buyer Tools- Top 10 Wanted list
I would like to have a buyer feature where I can save my top 10 SC or SG stamp list and be notified either by seller or system when a new item matching it is listed for sale. A price range trigger along with that would be welcome as well.

That said I am totally lost on drill down architecture with no index, no list of features etc. The old Bidstart had 1 page where you could find EVERYTHING. One click information available in nano-seconds now involves the laborious process of downloading individual csv files. Have 10 countries you want 6 month sales data on- a couple of minutes or less with the old tech. Now close to half an hour. I used to track all kinds of data - now it takes vastly too much time to track any.
Taxes now take hours whereas I could gather all the data I needed in a couple of minutes - all off one page.
I gave up looking for stuff after Gibbons took over - I was hoping Hipstamp would go back to being friendly and fun. I was wrong - it is pure drudgery.
Why bother with bells and whistles if you don't make it easy for people to find?
So if you're looking for a United States #1, and enter it into your Want List, both of the following listings:
"U.S. #1 Used Red Cancel..."
https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/us-1-used-red-cancel-four-4-margins-very-nice-copy-of-the-first-stamp-issue/20852386
or "1 VF-XF used light Red cancel..."
https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/1-vf-xf-used-light-red-cancel-4-big-margins-with-nice-color-cv-375-see-pic/31143556
would match your results, because the "Catalog Number" Item Specifics on each of these listings (as can be viewed on the Details tab) is set to "1" - so in general if the title has a # sign in it of not - that does not matter.

This is what I was referencing Gold Coast #107 gives me less search results than than Gold Coast 107. Its misleading as when I set up the want list i enter 107 as the scott nr and the system adds the # limiting my search results.

The reason why you're seeing fewer results for your Want List is that you've optionally set your Want List item to only show you items which are "Mint (NH) or Unused" - so the results do not include any used items.
