Partial Buy for Marketplace

[Zairava]

Yes please. It gets annoying when you have to server hop because your own decided to have only full stacks of something you only need a few of, especially when you can't afford the full stack.

I don't really post much on the forums, but I think doing this would remove a feature from the sellers perspective. I know from my point of view as a seller, if I check the prices to sell items I will always check the quantity sold vs. the amount sold for. Quick example is the GC delivery items, if you sell those for a higher gil amount in smaller stacks (to match the GC request), they generally sell faster then if you were to bulk them in 99's and sell at a lower price.

Basically, being able to determine the price AND the quantity sold is my way of selling. It's how I can determine if I want the single item to be sold for a few extra/lower gil and the same for stacked items. I will also experiment with items and sell some at stacks of 99 vs stacks of 20 and varying prices to see what sells faster so I know what to put up for my buyers.

TLDR; this give me a chance to learn my buyers and change my market based on their needs, its fun please don't remove this feature.

The lack of partial buy is the only reason I can even compete with the bot farmers on my server without having to constantly change prices, so I'd honestly rather this not be a thing.

When price is the only consideration involved it becomes considerably easier for them to monopolize a market.

I find people who list in large quantities to be a bit stupid. I make quicker sales doing stacks of 5 or 10 then they do trying to push a stack of 99 that no one really wants

Both sides have pros and cons. Personally as tedious as it is sometimes, I still prefer the current method. The marketboard is already undercut to bits, with everyone being able to sell everything regardless of stacksize it literally comes down to who undercuts the most, and if you've seen this community they will drop thousands of gil just to get immediate sales. Great for buyers but terrible for gatherers and crafters. Completely invalidates any of their work.

It mostly depends on how much you sell. I only have the basic 2 retainers so I literally don't have the space to split up my sales most the time.
And I wouldn't call selling stacks stupid. It's more a convenience for people who don't live by the summoning bell to do it once and be done with it.
With this being said, I still am 100% against partial sales and say the power should remain in the hands of the seller and not the buyer.

It's actually a nice thing this isn't an option.
It gives people the ability to make more money by not selling in bulk.

Don't wanna buy 99 for 800 gil each?
You can buy my 2 for 8000 gil each.

Partial Buy: By that I mean the ability to buy some rather than all of a stack. It's frustrating from the perspective of a relatively new player to need 1 and have to buy 99....assuming I can even afford it!.

As many other games have already implemented this feature, I'm wondering why this one hasn't.

No.

Sellers get to choose what they want to sell their items for and in what quantities.

You want a specific quantity of the item in a different way GET IT FOR YOURSELF.

It is not the sellers fault that you don't want to level your crafters and gatherers and make you're own stuff.

The game is 100% self sufficient, they even nerfed crafting and gathering into the ground for you. They even made it so you can visit like 20+ other worlds on most DCs for you to do your shopping and find better prices/quantities.

You being too lazy to level your characters, or world hop is not the market's problem.

Did I ever lead on that I was for that stupid idea. I just know from experience that smaller quantities moves far quicker then stacks do.

The last bit was more just me covering my stance on it since my response can be used as a positive for partial sales.
