Store: The Brick Bin
I'd like to be able to set timers. Hear me out. I want to be able to automatically
set a sale for 24-48 hours. Whether it's the whole store, or selected groups
or lots, this would be handy. I wouldn't have to remember to begin or end
a sale with this option. Scheduling could be setup, if I'm out of town for
a weekend and returning Sunday night, I could schedule a sale starting Sunday
afternoon, automatically.

Also, I'd like to be able to set a timer if, say, a Buyer wants to cut a
deal on a certain lot of parts. I could set this up to reserve the items in question
for a certain time period, say 24 hours at whatever price we've discussed.
Take it or leave it, price goes back to original after X amount of time.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

The current issue with sales is that a buyer could essentially get the sale price
for as long as the cart is still active.

That really should be fixed as well. Can't see any reason why it couldn't
be. When the buyer finally goes to checkout, the lots could be checked against
the current state of the lots in the store and if there is a difference (including
price/qty) it could bring up an error page stating what changed and refresh the
cart.
