Ability to buy multiple things from market at the same time...i.e. market shopping cart.

[GDan]

Title says it all. It's a hazzle if you know what you want and have to buy 1 thing at a time. i.e. market needs something lilke a shopping cart.

Well what happen if someone else buy one of the things?

Hi again ^

Simple, then they beat you too it, and they get it before you instead of you, so that you don't, or you get the next same item in the que of the same price/value if available.

ok then how likely you think many will mark best deals maybe and so on.. i think you may lose and take ages to get something on the price you want like that.. and on any case i think auto buy is some what a bad idea....

Maybe if it will take the Steam wallet funds first then allow it.. as then its more likey someone that is not active will not just leave it

What do you mean by best deals ? From what I'm gathering of what your saying I don't think so, when browsing the store, I see endless lists of the same item one after the other all with the same price.

But no matter how it's done and it's explicit implementation, it's a good thing to find a solution rather than having to click trough and rinse and repeat 10 times in a row, that becomes tedious as already pointed out.

You can already do that. Just click Add to Cart, go back to the store, select another game, repeat.

OP is talking about the Community Market, where people can sell items and other stuff and even set the price. Keep in mind the fee though.

The idea sounds okay for items that kinda stays there (no one interested to buy), but unfortunately not for cheap items that's below a cetain price, they get bought instant.

It will still work for those cheap prices like I said above, casue usually there are list spanning multiple pages with the same item for the same cheap prce, if the first one gets baught by someone else, then you just get the next one in line, simple.

It looks like they have already started down this route - the summer sale trading cards are "commodities" and you can setup a sell/buy order for a bunch of them at the same time it seems.

Oh...you don't say ? I will have to take a look at that.

Edit: indeed, seems lilke valve has had similar thoughts as myself, thought it still got some way to go.
