When you hover over one of these items it could say this in the description, or a symbol next to it that means it's not yet in your collection?
Something that shows whether or not you already have the item without having to have two tabs open and checking back and forth?
That would be incredibly convenient. However, it seems like too much work to put that information in a hover box. There are thousands of collectible items. Each box would have to be customized for each user. It's not that hard to find what you have with the ctrl + f function.
Perhaps it could then be in the item description once it's in your inventory? Just a quick suggestion.
-dancer Maybe. Kind of like the "Remove from wishlist" thing? There would be less pages to go through, unlike going through a few different pages to realize that an item is already in a collection. Unless wants to know if (s)he has an item before buying. . .
That's what I was thinking of, yes. That said, it would still be pretty hard to know which items you had before buying...
I find that the account search option is incredibly easy. It seems like this would be too much work to code for each item and user ;o.
