Yes I wish there was a user-made list of every CW that was private why it is private and if there is any public copy on that item. I hate adding things to my wish list only to be told that its private and by that time I don't really feel like removing it , also it would be nice if someone did that because then if I have any of those unattainable items on my wish list I can just take them off through that list :) hehe sorry if Im not making sense.. lol

I get the frustration, but I also don't think it's going to happen. That sounds like a lot of work and the site doesn't even support or enforce privates. When in doubt, ask the shop owner. We're always going to see pretty things and sometimes they're going to be private or limited release. That's just how it is, unfortunately.

I hate missing out on private items but I wouldn't suggest changing the system any. Most CW shops are good about labeling what's private and what isn't, and it's apparent users use the "lock" system for reasons other than being private so that shouldn't be changed either. I think the whole 1 item auction for a private item is stinky, but people are paying high prices for them so the demand is obvious. People are also pretty good at informing others if an item is private or not!

I do agree the ??? item's shouldn't show up on the SS though!
