- Customers could buy single items directly from factory crates? (They could buy one swoop from a crate of 50)


- Customers could buy resources from a single stack at a cpu and quantity you set? (You could set a price of 3cpu for a 100k stack of steelto be sold in 1000 unit increments.)




Just as a suggestion, i would like to see those two combined. Means if there are Items listed that are completely similar ( S/N & Stats ) they wont show up n times, just once with a notice at the side (like "n available")


I personaly woudn't care if every single item listed in this fashion would count against the item limit

(People selling in crates wouldnt like this, there should be some way to help them, like selling not on basis of single units but crates)


As en example:


Currently Seeker droids come in crates of 5, means if i stock up on them there will be at least a complete page full of 1 Item.

Under this system there would be only 1 Entry with a set CPU and everybody can buy them as he wants.

(would also immensly increase the usability of the bazaar/gvs)


[Sry, couldnt find a general suggestions thread and here it fits the best ^^]

Ok, so I'm prepping the draft of this to postfor the devs now that the release of RotW is imminent and I've got a couple of questions

The first isfor all the "extended listing time" people.

Would you be willing to sacrifice stockroom time in favor of more sales time?
I'm not gonna push a compromise as the opening volley, but I would like to have something to fall back on quickly.


So would say 45 days on sale and 15 days in the stockroom be at all attractive?


It would be better, but a more efficient restocking option would be the ideal solution. This would buy you an extra 15 days, but it's going to catch up with you eventually that you need to do a restock.



The second is for the "more items" people.


What if:


- Customers could buy single items directly from factory crates? (They could buy one swoop from a crate of 50)


This would be kind of cool.

One thing I did think of afterwards, for tailors and furniture-selling architects especially,we would need the interface to show an image of whats IN the crates not just a picture of a crate. Otherwise the interface would be little use to us as people usually want to see what they are buying.
