I'm not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but what I'd like to see is this:
Allow (vendor defined) built in price breaks for larger amounts of product.
For example, I sell shroom capsules. If you buy 10, they are about $3.50 a piece. If you buy 20, they are $3.00 a piece. If you buy 70, they are only $2.36.
In order to accomplish this now, I have to create multiple listings. I then have to split the total amount of capsules I have available among these listings. I have to constantly keep track of how many of each listing I have so that I don't 1) sell more than I have available, 2) have product just sitting there unlisted.
It would be great to set up one listing with the built-in price breaks described in the listing. Like this:
1-19 - $3.50 each
20-29 - $3.00 each
30-39 - $2.50 each
.
.
.
.
etc...
That would allow me to enter the total amount of caps I have available in one listing and not have to worry that I'm over- or under-selling my product.
Thanks for reading.

Yes this has been a feature that should have been implemented a long time ago. But as of late, it seems SR is more committed to improvements.
Currently, vendors must list multiple listings for the same item for volume prices. The proper implementation should be having a list of available quantities (with total quantity in grams/pills/units rather orders. Vendor can then set price breaks at certain points. This would reduce the number of listings dramatically, making updating listings easier, buyers won't have to pay extra shipping, or confused whether or not two listings are the same items.

what about vendors who are having a certain offer when you bulk buy something ? they wont really be able to advertise it if the price shown up is just per unit .. I'm not sure if what I'm saying makes sense but please say someone understands what I'm trying to say

That's basically what's been described in the thread Upgraded Listing Options: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=182090
Created a Supplementary Thread called Discount Methods - Explanation and Thoughts: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=203215 which goes into the current problems a Vendor faces when trying to apply some kind of Discount System. There is a Manual Solution to your Problem of not knowing if you're out of Product or not, although it requires you spend more time with Custom Listing which might not be optimal.

Like for example if you buy X amount of Product Y you get a Discount on Product Z? That would definitely be doable in any New System as long as you add a Function for "prerequisites", ie. certain Conditions have to be met until new Discounts or Options Unlock. :)

Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about! Sorry, I didn't see your thread earlier.
Hopefully this will be something DPR can implement in the future.

Bump. I would really love to see this implemented. It would be a very useful tool for vendors, and would clean up the listings considerably!
