Explanation: When I search for (as example) 44 1x2 Bricks in a specific colour I get results including shops which have "multiples" (x10). This is unusable because I'm forced to either buy 50 instead of the 44 and end up paying more than intended or to buy 40 in one shop and another 4 in a second shop which could result in higher costs. There should be an option to deselect those stores... I think this should be an OPTION for buyers to filter from the results. That is some complicated math, but I agree with the principle. Example: Store A has 50, but requires 50x at 0.04 Store B has 40 at 0.05 Store C has 5 at 0.03 I need 45 total. The cheapest option is for me to buy 50 and have 5 extra pieces. Option 1 - 50 x 0.04 = 2.00 Option 2 - 5 x 0.03 + 40 x 0.05 = 2.15 Currently autofinder is not doing this (or if it is, its not working well).
