OK, as im noticing, a ton of feeds saying stuff along the lines of 'why does one person buy every single berry?!'

and as i found out today, i needed some berries, and when i went to buy some, there were 0. on every berry!

i don't know about anybody else but this is kinda unfair.

i suggest, ether limit the amount someone can buy a day, or boost the quantity of the items.

Any support/anything you might think would be good with this?

Well I gotta admit, that berry person would be me. For the first time ever. Anyway, whenever I check the store, there are at least 100 of each berry type. Ever since Riako increased the stock I have barely seen anything beig sold out.

Overall, I don't support the idea, but wouldn't mind if it was implemented.

No support for limits, because it's kind of silly to not be allowed to buy something if it is in stock and you have the money for it.
Raising the stock won't help any more than it has already, so no to that as well.

If anything changes, I believe that there should be a "reserved" stock of each item for each user; for example, there could be, say, 10 PokéBalls for each user. If I buy 14, I will take 10 from my reservation and the remaining four that I purchase will be taken from the public stock. Then, let's say that the PokéBalls are all sold out, but you haven't bought any. You will still have 10 reserved for you, so you can buy them. Finally, let's say a third user buys six PokéBalls. Later that day, they would still have four PokéBalls reserved for them, even though the public stock was exhausted. I suggested this on the other thread on this subject, but it wasn't looked at because another idea for the thread - raising the stock - was implemented.

I agree with the limit. Berries are really cheap, so it would be really easy for somebody to clean the shop out, and in my opinion, that's pretty greedy. Either that, or bump up their prices a bit. Supply and demand. :P

The shop owner is a clever young man ;)
He just received a new berry delivery.

I still support the limit idea, though. It's selfish for someone to think that the whole stock is theirs just because they got there early enough.

Stupidly bought 100 berries, didn't do the math and spent 24,000.

I'm neutral on the limit thing since I rarely buy berries from the Shop.

I'll admit as well.. I've also been buying out the berries as they've stocked. I've been trying to stay 1st in the "Most berries fed" category in the Medall Rally. I know it was wrong of me to do so and I'm sorry. I just really want to win 1st for that. Now I see that's it's mostly my fault that the price has been pushed by 500% I can't say sorry enough..

Hehe. Just laughed so hard when I looked at the shop.

Though it's a good idea, at least the berries will last a while now. ^-^
Now I can actually buy some <3

Boom, epic suggestion idea.

How about, if someone wants a bigger amount of items, he could order them at the shop, maybe for a bit higher prize? You know when you're planning a party or something, you can order stuff at the bakery on your name, so they have it ready for you to collect it?

So let's say, there are 100 Oran Berries in stock. Buying them all would make the shop owner happy, but not the users. So instead of paying 40 PD per berry, you will pay 50 PD, but can order 300 pieces. It would take some time for the shop owner to get them, so you can collect them in about 3 hours or something like that.

How is that?

EDIT: Of course you can only place one order at a time.

maybe like a 150 item buying limit per day?
that is a perfect amount because it can help you get what you need and some extras.

and most berries are gone, again.

if you ask me the berries are too "cheap" at this stage

to prevent a lot of people buying them out why not raise them to 400 PD each since they are becoming more and more common and useful for tthe users

bourkey: But the thing is that berries are quite useless - besides using them to interact. And it wouldn't be worth it. No one wants to waste a 400 PD berry on a
Pokémon from a different trainer.

that was just a general amount, it couold be twerked to even 2.5x rate to be 100 PD per berry for the lower ones

it would just stock people selling them out so quickly IMO becuase at the moment people have masses amounts of credits and nothing else really to spend it on.

How about if people want to buy huge amounts, it would be a higher cost. Like, say if the person wanted to buy 20 or below of a berry, a day, it would be at normal price. However, buying between 21-40 will cost maybe 2.5x more and so on. Sort of like what Mirej suggested, but a bit different. This will discourage people from buying too many berries in one day.

Mirej's suggestion of ordering items sounds nice.
Diana's suggestion also sounds like a good idea.

And just wondering, but does selling our items at the item store help increase the amount of stock at the item store? I think that'd be cool if there's no such thing yet.
