[Feature] Watch-list/Favourites?

I know you have a million to-do's already Scotty, and hopefully here's another ;) (if it's not already there?)

To keep it simple, it's pretty much just eBay's watch list system including its ability to sort by end-time, price (?- not really useful for different deals I guess, but maybe we could have multiple user-creatable watch lists according to whatever thing they're looking for), no. of new comments, etc.

I know that we're currently able to view deals we've voted on and commented on, but sometimes I prefer to refrain from voting positive on a deal until I find out more about it or see what others have to say, and would rather not clog up the bargains with "subscribed" comments simply to see it again in my comments list. Also, the ability to sort according to a variety of criteria which is not currently possible with both votes and comments is very handy.

Definitely not the most crucial feature, but might be something good for the future as OzBargain continues to grow and the number of bargains being posted increases.

Edit: Crud, just as I was writing this I realised this is what the 'subscribe' feature is for. Not particularly keen with getting emails though, and notice you can't order the subscriptions nor can you see the end date.

Edit #2: Again, just realised another flaw- in that prices aren't currently entered in a way that they can be ordered! Massive oversight on my part, but I guess that means this is just another feature we could possibly add :) I guess with a more restricted pricing structure filters can exist for people who only want to see deals <$20 for example, which may help to somewhat reduce the impact of impulse buying haha

…Edit #383: Seems like someone's already beaten me to the punch Bookmarks Request
