Post by: N1ghtmare on June 15, 2012, 01:47 pm
Yeah, sorting by price would be a great thing to add. Wierd it's not there from the start.

This is a complete guess, but here it goes

I think it has something to do with new people not understanding how the trusted vendor system works. Without the sort by price option, it allows the best reviewed people and listings to be at the top.

Either way, I would LOVE to see this, maybe with a min and max price you can set as well

Oh come on, that's just bollocks. One should be able to choose.

It's annoying, but I think the reason are the different quantities offered by all the vendors.
The only advantage would be to see the cheapest drug in a special category, but you couldn't really compare one drug to another.

It was changed because it didn't actually work, all it seemed to do was ignore the best selling items, and just scatter the listings all willy nilly

Surely, since we're all connoisseurs of fine substances, the price is irrelevant over the quality?

Please correct me if 'm wrong, but in most cases, aren't drugs a fairly good example of where "you pay for quality"? Unlike a carpenter or a Government bureauocracy!
IMO if you're after say, coke for instance, and price IS an issue, you probably shouldn't be using charlie as it's beyond your means. Fair?
Exceeding your budget on drugs is a good way to get yourself a stay in rehab... or "the BIG house"!

sort by price (high to low) keeps the nickels and dimes off of the front page though Jim, so sorting by price doesn't always mean that your poor.

Ah fair enough, I do agree that to have the smaller shit gone from my viewing would streamline my shopping experience... Though, I still think sort by vendor is the way to go!!!

Yeah I was just thinking about starting a thread about this. I often have a few coins left from my previous purchase, so I try to look for something small that I could afford. Its always a pain in the ass, even if I type a certain number on the search bar, say 3.50 it still doesnt catch much. Just random listings. Although usually if I happen to find something affordable, after shipping and SR fee, insufficient funds.

Sometimes the shipping fee can be suprisingly large. I havent paid much attention, but is the SR fee included in the item price or does it add up when you add it into the basket? A lot has changed here since the beginning. I remember it used to add up.

I'll add my support for sort by price.  Buho, the SR/escrow fee is included in the price you see, but the shipping fee that the vendor sets isn't.

This is an excellent idea.  Not to say that the cheapest vendor is necessarily a good idea, you do get what you pay for.  However, there is definitely always a best deal in terms of vendor and product quality in relation to price and it would be much easier to locate such offers with a sort by price option.
