@ randym77: Hivewire instituted a method like DAZ3d, on your login, when you browse the store, all items that you purchased will exhibit an icon indicating that you own it. Takes out the guess work.

I know that. Obviously, I'm not explaining this well.

My problem is twofold. One, I shop at multiple stores, and some products are for sale at more than one store, or have moved from one store to another. Two, you can't search your purchases at Hivewire.

If I see something here at Rosity, it will tell me that I already bought it if I bought it here, but not if I already bought it at Hivewire. I have to check my purchases at Hivewire. Now, if the page for the product still exists, I could find that page and see if the "you own this" logo is there. But it might not be at Hivewire any more, so I have to search my purchased items. Rosity and DAZ offer the ability to search your purchases by keyword (and vendor, here at Rosity), which makes it really convenient to figure out if you bought something there, and to re-download it if you need to.

With Hivewire, it's really difficult. Because you have to scroll through page after page, searching for keywords using your browser. Just finding an item you purchased awhile back to re-download it is a pain there, but really easy at DAZ and Rosity.
