Sometimes, when you have a large stack of items like *id*, you don't want to sell them all, so that you can have some to keep yourself. One solution is to have two stacks of the items.
However, in the new version, houses will be smaller. If we had a feature like {8 for sale 5000}, where only 8 of the item would be for sale (and the inscription decrements every time they were bought), it could work well.
Make it so you can sell a specific # of items in a stack

Just put all stuff you don't want to sell in your second house lol...
Re: Make it so you can sell a specific # of items in a stack
Yeah, sorry, that'll just introduce more bugs and questionable situations, while the benefit of having this implemented is really small. Not to mention it will re-balance things quite a bit, as floor space is a valuable resource.
Re: Make it so you can sell a specific # of items in a stack
I have to agree with Flambard... It's a game balance issue, floor space at home is valuable. You might think about how you'd change strategy if you were allowed to expand your house though, since that's coming.

While my opinion here is not needed at all (two comments from Project Team members) I'll still chime in; I can see how this would be nice, but the whole point of reducing house sizes is to put the player on the tough choices (not hassle the developers with potentially tough bugs) :p
