My wishlist is of things I really want, I do eventually get about a 20%-25% maybe given my modest disposable income but when the list gets long I purge the whole thing and let it build up again. I try to be ruthless about adding things but I would certainly spend money if I had it. I very often wait to buy stuff on my wishlist until I get a sale notice that spurs me to finally make the purchase. I used to use my public list when it was sub-totaled separately in the old store design to set things on the "short list" for imminent purchase... kinda used it to sort planned purchases.
