Ever since Storage Display Boxen were changed so that the items in them could be sold to the loyal customer, I've had a short-lived, unspoken idea: limits. And no, not the limit of x in respect to y (all you Calculus buffs); however, I was thinking of setting a daily limit on the number of items in a given Storage Display Boxen to be sold.
In case my wording set you off, here's an example:
"Daring Daryll wants to promote his tower by selling an item (in an SDB) for 1c each. However, he wants more than one person to enjoy this 'giveaway'. So, instead of Greedy Gregory buying all of the items for 1c each, Daring Daryll could set a limit to the number of items so that Greedy Gregory only gets one."
A neat idea that has room for improvement. Please +1 this, and maybe we can pressure the devs into making this idea... a *reality* (NOT like reality TV).
Also, I will try my best to read each comment and respond accordingly (either up here, or as a reply with the amazing "@" addressing the Glitchen. Thank you.
For clarification: The intention for this idea is *not* to drive prices down, but rather to promote tower navigation. What I mean by this is that you should still buy from the person without limits if you are wanting to buy in bulk! I hope this bold and italics helps! In addition, it would allow for games (i.e. writing notes, putting, say, 10 notes in the SDB, and letting your friends try to pick the ONE with the "secret word" on it). It would be whatever you make of it. Also, I apologize if I offend anyone by the use of my alternating adjectives.
Boredom and a love for statistics:
+1'd by seven Gracious Glitchen.
Five Glitchen implied that +1 in her or his reply.

Now, what I had in mind was a field that allowed you to put anywhere from 0 (unlimited) to 1 less than the maximum capacity according to the "998 stacks possible in an SDB" rule. Feel free to critique this thought! Again, I thank you for your time and replies!

Just read that this has been requested before; thank you for this information. If you come across any others, please leave a link to it in a reply, and I'll add the link in place of these two lines of text. Thank you.

By the way, I'd like to take a moment to +1 Sturminator 5's idea about also selling to the SDB.
