Not being able to buy single items from a stack on the marketward.

[someone7x]

Being a seamstress myself when I want to make something I go to the fabric store and I buy the fabric I need, not the whole bolt, I buy just the one zipper I need not a gross of them, I buy the spool of thread I need, not a dozen of them.

I am a crafter not a storehouse for excess materials, and the system in this game forces us to either buy more than we need or go out and get it ourselves.

The former benefits people who sell, the latter benefits the actual crafter.

This whole argument for not allowing purchase of individual items fails because there is no truth to making more money buy selling in stacks, you make the exact same amount if you sell a stack of 99 to one person as you would make selling that same stack to 99 different people.

Sorry, but my 2gil in this. in 1.0 I could sell as singles or as a stack. What happened to this?

As a buyer and a seller in the AH, when i want to craft something and i need say 1 "Horn Glue", I do not want to have to buy 99 just to make 1 item. I have passed on making lots of items because in order to buy the 1 material I needed I was forced to buy 10/20/99. What am I going to do with the remaining? I cant put it back on the AH because your gonna tax 5% and can't raise the price to offset this because the item would be over priced.

As a seller, same holds true, any sales is good. In order to sell my say stack of 20 Darksteel Ingots I would either have to sell em all at one go, which would pretty much mean that the item will stay on the AH till kingdom come or I can sell singles but i waste 1 retainer just on selling Darksteel Ingots.

So like i said above, can you allow for people to sell items in a "stack" of 99 or allow them to sell a stack individually like in 1.0.

Takes to long to part out items. These are the prices unless you get them yourself. You are paying for a LUXURY service and people do not want to waste slots. Instead of getting to put up my 4,000g greasy belt I can't because I am selling 20 seperate bat wings. I know you are wanting SE to make it so that you can help everyone by buying from the stacks but quite honestly some people do not want to sell items that way and do not want people to have the choice. Sellers want to move stuff off their retainers and make money....selling in bulk helps this along. It would not be fair to walk in to a McDonalds and tell them that they HAVE to sell you 1/2 a big mac for 1/2 the price...selling and buying just does not work that way. Basically SE is not going to be able to MAKE people sell things one at a time...there would be a HUGE outcry and backlash on that front.

Just FYI you can order a burger at any restaurant with or without different parts, like no cheese (blasphemy), or no ketchup. You don't have to buy it just as shown on the menu, you have choices.

And believe it or not you can buy just ONE, not 99 of them or nothing.

I think you are wrong about the "huge outcry and backlash", people would be buying from the market instead of going out and getting it themselves so the market would more than likely improve all around.

What are sellers going to do, boycott the markets? yeahhhhh
