| I've been working with the new Wanted List and Auto Finder, and it seems
to be working really well. However there is one problem that I'm not sure
how to work around. Some stores (especially in Germany) have some discounted
lots that require a purchase of 1000x, 2000x, or even 5000x.
It would be great if we can add another option on the store filters to "exclude
bulk lots". This would actually exclude only lots, not entire stores because
the store may have the same part in another lot without the multiples at a good
price. There should be a threshold setting. If the seller is selling something
by the 2's and I needed 1 or 3, I wouldn't mind if I had to purchase
an extra unit. But if I need 50x of something, auto-finding a lot with a 5000x
bulk doesn't help me.
Ideally the algorithm that optimizes price should add the extra cost of the difference
between the wanted quantity and the bulk purchase quantity. So the 5000x lot
would be too "expensive" for the auto-finder and get automatically excluded in
favor of a "cheaper" lot. That seems like a longer term more complex fix, so
the simple store filter would be sufficient for the short term.
