Suggestion: Auction House needs a Per Item cost display

I think this is a simple and necessary UI improvement to the Auction House.

Currently, you need to have a calculator on-hand when selling or buying stacks of items, to determine the per-item cost. This is absurd, as this is exactly the sort of math the system should be doing for you.

When browsing stacks of items (eg. trade materials, potions, scrolls), the per-item cost should be listed in addition to the cost for the stack.

When selling stacks of items, the user should be able to enter a per-item cost, which then calculates the total cost for the stack.

World of Warcraft had this feature almost 10 years ago, when it launched:

Thanks for considering my feedback.

    I like this idea and would also like to add that they should make it so we can sell stacks of the same items but allow them to be bought 1 at a time from the stacks.

    So instead of say making 15 separate posts to AH of 4 dyes each, you could just post 60 dyes with a buy out price per item from the stack. So if someone wants to buy 60 dyes they could or if they only need a few they could buy them from the stack.

    This would help cut down on the clutter in the AH. Personally I get a lil tired of clicking through multiple pages of the exact same items posted at the exact same prices when im just browsing the AH.

    I just use the free calculator the sits on the same computer I'm using to look at the auction house. I find the answer that calculator gives me usually validates the Neverwinter system that places that stack of items in the correct listing position indicating that the price is less per item than the one next to it.

    So, to clarify: cost divided by quantity is the mathematical calculation recipe to get the answer you need.
    Example: COST/QUANTITY=Price-per-unit in a stack.

    -winks-

    Yes, I know you mention this in the OP - but it's hardly absurd is my point.

    Now THIS is a genuinely useful and functional feature request I can support completely.

    Absolutely. This AH is at least ten years behind the times.

    And I'm not sure how it calculates sales price when you put something up for sale, but it's typically, WAY off base.

    This would be an amazing addition to the AH .

    Actually WoW did not have that feature when it launched. The sell per item/sell per stack option was added much much later.

    I recommend fixing the current bugs before introducing new ones.
