How about a list of "items that you have ordered and are waiting to receive" ?

I'm kinda seeing where this idea's going. If one was able to put a deposit for items you want JJ to set aside, then that wouldn't be so bad. Then say, when the order reaches an amount like, 100 or 150, then you can have it shipped out. I like where you're getting at with this, and I'm on the same boat too when I see things go out of stock and whatnots. Perhaps JJ can get someone to implement a system like that, where one has a cart/account and deposits have to be paid in part or full to reserve the item for ya. Oh well, the idea's in the early stages of infancy but Í'm sure it can be refined
