Why is it that buyers think because they are buying in bulk they should deserve to get a super discount(i.e. half price), as though they are saving the seller troubles of selling 1 by 1?
Here's how I see it...The seller is saving the buyer the trouble of buying 1 by 1, not the other way around. Usually items that are purchased in bulk are highly sought after, easy selling items, i.e. Crystals, Diamonds, Scholarships, and the like.
As a seller, one can easily toss those types of items in their shop, price them for the going price, and have absolutely no issues in selling. Those types of items easily sell in bulk to multiple buyers in shops just as easily, if not easier than they would selling in bulk to one individual buyer.
If a buyer were to go to shops and buy in bulk for each of those items, the price would slowly increase over time. Thus, sellers shouldn't be selling their items for discounts when selling in bulk, but could actually be selling for slightly higher than the current SS selling price due to this fact.
Sellers of these types of items, don't sell yourselves short. You can easily get the going rate for your items by simply selling in your shop without having to discount. I know sometimes we are desperate for MP, but trust me when I say, the items will sell, and in the end you will have more MP.
