it has nothing to do with being funny. it's the way the repair menu is setup for repairs is repair all. i select repair all and am not wasting my time to go through each piece for 500 gil. if you don't want it repaired then don't have it up with the repair flag open. this isn't taking into account i don't know if someone is wanting 100% repairs on everything to sell in the wards or not.
if it's at 99% and you don't want it repaired then don't put it up for them..... pretty simple.
