I own The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition already but the site tells me that I still don't have

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Expansion Pass

What will happen if I would buy all these "missing" parts?

Will it create The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (standard edition) with all the DLC alongside GotY Edition in my library or will it give me product keys for the already existing products?

And most importantly - would it mark all these products owned then or am I supposed to buy them every sale over and over again? I'm seriously curious, no sarcasm.

I think it would actually just create a new entry of The Witcher 3 in your library, since if you try to buy the base game it doesn't even say or alert you to the fact you already own the GOTY Edition.

And yes, it should check mark all of it as owned. I wouldn't do it, but it's your money.

The Witcher 3 GOTY is treated as a separate "game" altogether. I have both the above and the GOTY (kindly added by GOG automagically), since the GOTY was not around when I bought The Witcher 3 on GOG (just the base game + DLCs).

P.S.: The GOTY already includes the base game and all the DLCs, so there's really no reason to buy them as well. The GOTY is meant to supersede the "standard edition" and offer an all-in-one package.

This is just an idiosyncracy in the store itself. I have the same thing happen here basically. The Witcher 3 GOTY is nothing more than The Witcher 3 plus the 2 expansion packs plus the 16 free DLC all bundles together in one single installer patched to the latest version. It contains zero extra content, features or differences at all other than just a convenient repackaging of the entire game. There is no reason to buy the non-GOTY game and no benefit of it whatsoever.
The store is also a bit hit-or-miss in identifying when you already have parts of a bundle.

For example, I am continually offered "Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition Digital Deluxe Edition" for full price (around $68), even though I already own every item in that bundle except for one $3 soundtrack. Just for kicks, I tried ordering it and going all the way up to payment confirmation to see if I'd get some kind of discount. I didn't complete the order, but it sure seemed like it was going to happily charge me $68 for a bundle that would have only added a $3 soundtrack to my library.

However, I've also seen some bundles that have correctly identified that I already had the base game and offered me the expansions/DLCs at a reduced price. I was pleasantly surprised to get a discount on a Battletech bundle because I already had the base game.

So, if you already have some content from a collection - it's worth looking at the bundle cost vs. buying the remaining content you don't have individually. And definitely don't hesitate to ask the community: "I already have THIS... will buying THAT give me anything more?"
