Shop Buy Limit Group

Problem: For groups of items (usually within an item tag), people will put up all the items that can be used to ensure delivery, but then they can receive much more than they wanted. Solution: Implement a "Buy Limit" for a shop category. This lets users create their own custom "item tag" and set a buy limit. This is more flexible than a simple "item tag" as it would allow one to price each item differently. Example: Here I have 6 logs I am buying which are all functionally the same. I only want 100, but I could be sold 600. Allow the user to set a "group buy limit" in the "Logs" category.

yes being able to do buy-orders for tags would be very helpful when the type does not matter to you. It's a lot of clutter and extra work to put up one of everything.

I worry this was too much reading for people, so I am going to edit it down. This comment will show the original post: tldr; Allow a buy limit for group of items in shop. Lets you cap item tags and also set buy limit ratios so you only buy (wheat) when your selling product (flour) falls below a limit Problem: For item tags, people will put up all the items that can be used to ensure delivery, but then they can receive much more than they wanted. Solution: Implement a "Buy Limit" for a shop category. This lets users create their own custom "item tag" and set a buy limit. Example: Here I have 6 logs I am buying which are all functionally the same. I only want 100, but I could be sold 600. Allow the user to set a "group buy limit" in the "Logs" category. Bonus: Note this is more extensive than just setting a "buy limit" for an item tag. This also lets people effectively set a "buy limit ratio cap of goods". Say you want to stop buying wheat once you have X flour. Put a buy limit on wheat for 100, flour for 100, set the price of flour to 999 (so no one sells) and set the group limit to 200. Now you will only buy wheat when flour is reduced.

This would be awesome! Just having buy limits by tag would be an improvement, but these custom groups would be even better!
