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

Too many of you are confused, being a nice guy I will explain this ONE LAST TIME-

But look at this way...

I am crafting and I want to manufacture X item, however, I realize I am missing one ingredient> I go to the boards and I see 10 people selling the items for 3-99 in quantity, but I don't want 3 or 99 I just want 1. Now I am forced to buy 3 or wait it out or go farm my own.

Now if I buy the 3 items I first have to pay extra for 3 items instead of 1 plus the buying fee which will also be higher since the price is higher. Then I may want or have to sell the extras for a slightly lower price but also pay a sellers fee. So I've paid taxes twice for the same item plus extra for the extra amount I don't want, and probably had to resale the item for a slightly lower price for it to sell. Not to mention the small extra time of setting that up.

Besides if the market thinks Iron ore is worth 1 gil then it's worth 1 gil. Undercutting occurs everyday even in real life. It's called, Competition, Price equilibrium, Free Markets... I can go on

Yeah you're definitely no economist, so please don't pretend you are one either.
