Additional market features
I'm sure this has been mentioned multiple times, but I'd like to give it another shot.

The way you currently post items on the market is extremely inefficient and inconvenient. You have to go to your inventory, click on an individual item, then, more often than not, check current market price for the item, then post the item for sale, and that's for each item even if you chose to post multiples.

What I suggest is a way more advanced and convenient way to post items up for sale. Here's a great example of efficient market posting:

1 by 1 sales


Website: https://bitskins.com

Grouped sales


Website: https://bitskins.com

This would enhance marketing opportunities for everyone, especially those with big inventories.

Any input? I understand that the dev has some sort of disliking towards marketers, but this idea has been swept under the rug way too many times.

long story short:
1.we should be able to add items to the market without having to open a new browser tab for every item.
2.we should be able to see the current (Market Price Average) and/or (Current cheapest price on market) without having to open a new browser tab.

I think these things would make life a whole lot easier for the fellows that market, and might get people that dont market into the scene, which would benefit everyone.

Mafia summed it up very well.
I'd also like to add that it would be lighter on the server since people wouldn't have to go through 10 pages to post 3 items on the market, so hey, everybody wins

a neat shortcut would be that if you click edit an item you would get -1of cheapest offer on market, instead of 0.

also changing price fro a selected number of item of the same kind.

it would be nice to see some change and make things easier.
but, as someone once said, the market was not thought for a user to have 2000plus items in there. some people take tthings to serious. maybe works fine just as it is.
= SELLING MARKET INVENTORY =
Pm me for deals

So far there has been overwhelmingly positive input on this idea and it is clearly positive to implement, why is it not being elevated?

What's the purpose of marking thread as elevated if there's no guarantee it'd be actually implemented? We had a bunch of those in past, not like that changed anything.
Idea of having a better market isn't new, and there's been quite a number of better market suggestions than this one. We might get it some day, but it's unlikely to happen soon.

Compared to other features implemented recently, this one has way more usefulness and support from the community. As you just said it yourself, there have been a number of "better" suggestions in the past, this should be a clear wake-up call that this feature matters to many people.

Furthermore, market bots are banned, so if a user decided to make something like a grouped sell script he would most likely get perma banned. This means there is literally no alternative.

Pretty much all the features that've been implemented recently were event-related, I wouldn't say that they're less useful than market.
Market update will eventually happen, but it requires some time. I don't see any point in doing multiple tiny updates to an overall flawed system when it's better to wait until other updates are finished and make an actually good system instead. There are fundamental issues with how current market is organized which prevent proper updates to make it operate the way you'd expect a modern game market to work.
