I would like the ability to manually lock pricing on certain inventory items.

For example, if I bought some sets that have a high draw value, they bring customers
in to my store. However, the cost of the sets was such that I do not make much
if anything on them. If I put an additional sale on at my store, I would have
to go through and adjust the pricing of those sets so that the sale would not
lower it less than my cost. By being able to lock that lot of sets, it would
make it so that the pricing could only be adjusted manually. I could reduce the
rest of my inventory by 10% and not have to worry about forgetting to adjust
the pricing on those sets.

Much like the other check boxes currently utilized, this one would remove the
item(s) from the being enacted upon by most things in the pricing action items
list. Perhaps even have it's own searchable function for all items with this
box ticked. Please share your thoughts on this.

You could put in note in the "My Remark" field to remind you of the price. For
example, you could put in a note under a set that normally retails $60 "Paid
$31.50" so you can remember not to lower them on sale too low.

But a lock would be nice. A minimum price option that over rides any sale and
promotions.

That's what the "My Cost" field is for.

Agreed. I also voted yes.

Unfortunately for those of us who use Brickstore, "My cost" is not supported

Sort of. I definitely use BrickStore, and I have a MyCost for every item in my
store. It takes a couple of extra steps, but I find it extremely useful to know
exactly how much every order has cost me.
