k thanks,
this is what i thought it ment but i wanted to be sure. a simple change
of the quanity to some rediculus number like 20,000 would fix the problem.
i’m still however curious as to what larry would have an unlimited stock
of. ondrew

He (or anyone) would theoretically have unlimited stock of a service
performed after the order is placed 1.
|
Does that not assume that the service provider’s time is unlimited?
I’d argue that a hobbyist would have a finite ability to offer a service. In
the commercial world a non-specialist service provider would simply find a
subcontractor, but a hobbyist would find that much harder to do.

You could argue that -- it may become undesireable to list a service with
infinite quantity if the service proves too popular ... I think that’s best
left up to the user, though.

But then the buyer has the risk of buying/ordering a service which is not
available?
In theory, I suppose the system could be set to offer no more than X sales per
time-period or offer customers an indication of the estimated waiting time(?).
The admins would have to do the CBA on that.

PS Most BL shop owners are already used to managing demand for their stock by
setting the price point at a level which limits demand. (Apart from
this guy; all his stuff is
really cheap. ;)) In most cases I expect it is the “service” part (packing &
shipping) which constrains activity.

It would be a neat feature -- and I at least
don;t *think* it would skew things in a bad way (might be wrong).
