How do I transfer from one ArrayList to another -

Question

Hi
Basically what I want to do is transfer from one arayList to another using an iterator to iterate of the list and transfer certain entries to another - one is called lots, the other is called unsold.
I don't want help with trying to get the right fields to transfer at the moment I'm just trying to get it to transfer EVERY entry, which I cant seem to to with this while loop
public ArrayList getUnsold()
       Iterator it = lots.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()) {
                Lot lot = (Lot) it.next();
                unsold.add(lot.getDescription());
                return unsold;With the above all I seem to get is the first item in the 'lots' list to transfer even though theree are 3 items that need to be transferred...
I have declared all arraylists and everything on this level works I just cant transfer items over properly...
Any help is most appreciated.

Add these print statements (and others you think might help) to help you see what's going on: public ArrayList getUnsold()
       Iterator it = lots.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()) {
                Lot lot = (Lot) it.next();
                System.out.println(lot);
                System.out.println(lot.getDescription)());
                unsold.add(lot.getDescription());
                System.out.println(unsold);
