How do I move a want onto the shelf?

Collect it from the wishlist once you own the copy. It then counts as a record you have, and it stops counting as a hunt.

Can I keep a want on both lists?

You should not. A record on both lists is counted as owned and as wanted, which is how the inventory stops being true.

Keep wanted records off the shelf you own

A shelf that includes wishes is no longer an inventory. ViniVault keeps the wishlist separate so the collection stays true.

Two lists, on purpose

Value, counts, and 'do I own it?' all break if wants are mixed in. You would be insuring records you do not have, and you would walk past a copy in a shop because the catalogue said it was already yours.

The want list can be long. It just should not pretend to be the shelf. A long list of hopes is a fine thing to keep. It is a bad thing to count as property.

The split is simple. If it is in the house, it belongs on the shelf. If you are still looking, it belongs on the wishlist. A record you have ordered but not received is still a want until it arrives.

Why the split is worth the extra tap

Collection value ignores the wishlist, so a record you hope to buy cannot inflate what you own. Still hunting counts the wants on their own. The two numbers answer different questions, and they only stay honest if the lists stay apart.

When you bring the record home, collect it from the wishlist. That one step takes it off the hunt and puts it on the shelf, with the price you paid if you type it.

How this works in ViniVault

Owned records live in the collection. Wanted records live on the wishlist. Statistics counts them separately. Do I own it? checks both, and tells you which list the title is on.

Notes on a want can hold the pressing and the price you will not go past. Those notes do not become part of the collection until the record does.
