Suggestion: Help Sellers and Buyers with 1 simple tweak.

You dont go to Costco and try to buy one can of soda. It is packaged that way for a reason. If you dont want/need it all you can split the stack and sell the rest.

Actually, that's a really dumb analogy because stores sell single beverages by the truckload.

As is, the market system encourages price hiking. People put huge stacks of things on the marketboard, they're insanely expensive. All the people putting smaller stacks up raise their prices up sky high because they think people will buy those. The thing is, if the market system were more open to people actually being able to spend less on individual convenience purchases, they would be far more likely to buy more often from the marketboard instead of getting their supplies elsewhere.

Yes, because the seller chooses to sell it that way. You don't walk into Walmart and take a single can out of a case. You go to the cooler where the singles are.

The price hike is for the convenience of buying the smaller stack. Buy a case of soda and you pay less per soda than you would if you buy an individual one.
