Nice call, Boyce. We are actually working on a feature that would allow visitors to save their picks. I’d love to give an estimate as to when this will be introduced as a feature on the site, but there is no way to tell when it will be ready for launch. Those following our blog will definitely be the first to know.

A very important option your website is missing is a Clip Bin where people can save previews of what they want to buy later.I find it hard to search all over again another day for a model I liked in a previous search.

This is good thing for customers, no doubt. But now vendor have only one chance to convince customer. If images do not convince customer there is no matter what is in description or ’3D Model Specifications’. No matter comments or preview files like test videos etc.
I understand idea of quick previews but now we have to change our “strategy”.
Customer don’t read full description now so what we do?

Thank you for your comment Spedition.

While we agree that reviewing the product description and specifications is incredibly important, we now believe that the customer can now make a better decision to review this information from the search page.

Before the customer had to make a decision to view a full preview based on a 90px x 90px thumbnail image. Now the customer has access to the larger images, which offers more visual information to help the customer with the decision process.

We will continue to review the data and ensure that having quick previews are a good move for the site.

Paradoxically this feature could disturb our sells. Because client now judge product on small images without reading description. In many cases description promote product better than images, details are very important.
We have problem with lack of shopping carts already.
