Hi everyone! Over the past 18 months I have been working on
Brick Wizard: an app for OS X/Windows that helps save money on BrickLink orders by determining the least expensive combination of stores for a given parts/wanted list.
I hope you find this useful! Thanks for checking it out!

This looks like a great tool. I'm shifting this, though, over to Buy/Sell/Trade as this is more relevant to that sub-forum.

Thanks Bruce!
0.1.3 is now available. Highlights include drastically reduced memory usage (less than 100 MB, even for large numbers of combinations) and 2-6 times faster performance. A high-end computer (3GHz quad core) can process over a billion combinations in under 10 minutes.
0.1.3 Beta for OS X
0.1.3 Beta for Windows

A great tool, and given my mathematics deficiency something I will definitely take advantage of.

- Stores are now filtered by the selected country to ship to
- Prices are displayed in the selected currency
- Preferences are automatically saved
- Added support for importing BrickLink wanted list XML
- Number of threads defaults to one less than the maximum to avoid inadvertently locking up the system
Bug Fixes
- The number of stores per combination is now limited to the total quantity of items instead of the number of item entries. This allows for searching for large quantities of a single part.
