Lately I've been scanning the resource section of the bazaar looking for some high quality materials to make weapons from. I have occasionally found a few good items, but I see absolutely outrageous prices for very low quantites of items. 150 credits for 32 units of avaian bone? 3000 credits for 150 units of Steel with an Overall Quality of 603? Not to mention about 50 containers with 15 or less units of the resources are plugging up the bazaar.
I know this issue came up in beta, and I'm not here to discuss resource prices because forcing prices would destroy the entire idea of a player-driven ecconomy with self-modulating prices, but I would like to see resoures only sold in multiples of 50 or 100 on the bazaar. This seems like it could be an easy addition to the bazaar's code (though being a History major and having only nominal knowledge of Java and programming that's a bit of an uneducated guess ^/^) and would help reduce the bogging down of the bazaar.
Now, about those 500 CDEF pistols on the bazaar...

Actually I love it. It gives people a reason to buy their resources from my shop where they are nice neet stacks in the amounts you mentioned

I guess it just depends on the server.
I sell 300 resources at 2500 credits on the lowca server... I think it's fair for those who don't want to deal with what I have to to get it.
