Community Market Wishlists

[LocaL]

I believe that there should be a Wishlist system for the Steam Community Market similar to that of the Steam Store. There would be the ability to add items to the Wishlist off of the Steam Community Market and prices on the Wishlist would update with the items' live prices (same as the store). Other Steam users could view others' Wishlists in order to buy gifts (same as store).

that's a bad idea on the ground that the market is constantly fluid, an item for sale one minute will be gone the next, and a similar item could rise or fall in price, its not stable like a game

That is not the point. There is currently no system to archive what items you intend to get or trade for without an external tool. This would allow users to archive what items they wish or intend to buy and allow other player to see that as well. This would help people who want to trade or buy gifts for others.

And to respond to Unexpected; the fluidity of the market shouldn't matter. A user would be wishlisting an item and not a particular seller's listing. For example I would wishlist a Deagle Printscreen from CSGO, and the price would just be a reflection of the current lowest ask price which would update as new listings become the lowest.

I actually have a text document that has all the CS skins that I want along with the current price and combined price of all the skins, but I don't even try to keep the prices up-to-date and this would not only keep it in a nice list, but I could make multiple wishlists for different themes and such - all kept up-to-date automatically!

I have agreed to a wishlist for the Steam market before and still like the idea and I use personally right now the Steam Market - Favorite Items as a Chrome add-on, sadly it's not there anymore but is still usable if you have it.

I'm not that sure about the real-time price update tho.
