Wishlist and Save-for-Later
From MoochWiki
Contents |
What is the Wishlist?
The Wishlist is a list of books that you want to mooch as soon as possible. Whenever someone adds a book that's on your Wishlist, you'll be notified by email. Wishlists are publicly visible. You should not add books to your wishlist that you will not mooch if they are ever available.
What is the Save-for-Later list?
The Save-for-Later list is a list of books that you are thinking about mooching, but that you don't want right away. You will not be notified when someone adds a book that's on your Save-for-Later list. The list is also hidden from other users.
What's the difference between the two lists?
Your wishlist is publicly viewable, and you will receive email notifications when wishlisted books are listed in other members' inventories. Your save-for-later list is not publicly viewable, and you will not recieve notifications when listed books are added to other members' inventories.
How can I add a book to my Wishlist if it's already available?
You can add it to your Save-for-Later list and then move it to your Wishlist. In most cases, you should either mooch the book if you want it right away, or just save it to your Save-for-Later list if you don't. However, if the only member with the book will not ship to your country, or you do not want to mooch the book from that member because he/she has negative feedback or is "possibly inactive," then you can use this technique to get the "available" book onto your Wishlist.
How can I find other editions of a book I've wishlisted?
Click the "Show related editions" button at the top of the Wishlist page. This function queries thingISBN and xISBN for information about alternate editions of wishlisted books, and displays those books which are currently available for mooching. You can view a list of all editions (available and unavailable) known to BookMooch (and the ISBNs of those not) by going to the detail page of an individual book and clicking "Related Editions".
