The (S) superlot symbol is great visual reference in the Price Guide. You instantly
know that you'll have to buy other parts to get that one. I would like to also
see a (T) tiered pricing visual reference as well. This way I would know at
a glance that if I bought several, I could possibly get said item cheaper in
bulk. Tiered prices would not need to be shown in the price guide.

Sure beats checking every store.

Yep, this would be really useful. Currently only the highest price is shown,
not the lowest. This leads to multiple listings (one entry for each price-point
for an item, so they all show up in the price guide), and buyers potentially
missing out on offers. I only recently realised this.

I used to use the full search (lots of scrolling, not easy to pick out individual
countries), but have started using the price guide summary as I find it more
convenient – it is just missing this last detail.

Average price by qty it was sold for (sum of (price * qty) for each item / sum
of total qty)
