Hi, had an idea for a new Sales Type for vendors.

Currently there are "Instant" and "Auction" for Bazaar and just "Instant" for vendors:
I think it would be a nice option if you could set resources to "Resource CPU" or something like that where you can set how much resource is sold and what the price is.

E.g.:

Have 50k Steel

Could set 1 unit for 3 credits
Minimum you could buy is 1 for 3 credits, max you could buy is 50k for 150k credits
Can only buy in increments of one.

or

Have 50k Steel

Could set 1k units for 3k credits
Minimum you could buy is 1k for 3k credits, max is 50k for 150k credits
Can only buy in increments of 1k

Basically can set whatever amount you want for whatever price you want as long as amount does not exceed the total resources you have. This would be real handy for people that only want a small amount of given resource.

Some people still might want to sell all resources for set price, which could still be done with instant or by setting min value equal to total amount.

Only problem I can see is if you set the unit amount to something that does not evenly divide total, but you could make it a requirement that the unit value you pick has to be divisible by total.

Anyways just a suggestion.
