The amount of profit this site must take, it's mind boggling how simple changes that have been requested for years, still haven't been made.

Maybe I'm missing something, but is it not that simple to do?

It drives us crazy as we believe its a simple feature, any marketplace has a quantity section when listing a item and LB is the only exception, who knows Anon we must be missing something.

We can't see it benefiting anyone vendors struggle, customers are left disappointed and Transaxe have to process refunds in some cases, we don't know how its more talked about on the topics page :/

Last time this happened to me was with you guy's about a month or so ago. I ordered lemon punch which sold out so i recieved the lemon haze which was very nice but it must of been pure luck that you had a lemon strain to replace, in the past it has not gone so well with other vendors, for example receiving strains with pine terps when i ordered a sherbet strain which is a big disappointment for me.

If i was a vendor the one thing i would want was a stock count so i could program the amount of units and go off and do something else or at least concentrate on comms, i cannot believe there is no system in place and one of the main reasons that puts me off becoming a vendor along with the high fee's.

Simple things like this should be in place here…. It not only effects the vendors but the customers as well.

I’ve seen people get excited to try products but be let down (no fault of the vendors) and missed out..
Then on some occasions the vendor replaces said item with something in the same price range, but not what they wanted… E.g. a haze when the buyer wanted an Indica…. Then it’s a lose lose situation for all involved :(

💚✌️

CI is bang on here.
One of the biggest features of LB is the choice you have, I spend stupid amounts of time browsing the wall i hear the phrase kid In a sweet shop used a lot and it’s accurate. So let’s use that you’ve got your pocket money you’ve spent hours squeezing the best bang for your buck and then you get sent something completely different that 9 times out of 10 you would of ordered had you of wanted it, it negates a selling point of little biggy and if it’s that easily fixed surely it’s a no brainier ?
On that note, I’ve just put in a 2nd order for your Gary Payton x runtz which is some of the most exquisite bud I’ve had in years and I think the first contender to the speaker knockers from supper Hans for best bud on biggy 2022.
Please don’t sub me lol, I may cry.

Easy Change LB… make it 💯
And UK currency!
CI 🖤

The stock counter matters to me because almost all of the replacements I've been sent over the years have been disappointing.

Not always bad but if you want a lemonade you get lemonade dig

I remember putting up a post about 2 years ago on this same topic of discussion, the fact nothing ever really gets done is absolutely mind blowing, having an online market without a stock counter is the most counter productive setup i could possibly imagine, it affected even my very brief stint as a vendor and it affects all vendors and all customers every day, and why???

i find it impossible to believe this site doesn't have an active admin of sorts, there's absolutely no way a market of this magnitude is just being left to run by the borgs, i'm not buying it for a second! so knowing this site is actively moderated makes it feel like even more of a kick in the bollocks when nothing gets done and we never get an explanation either!

i for one have also noticed these kinds of topics literally dissapear from the wall completely, and very quickly, whilst other topics remain! i'm sorry to partially hijack this topic with my topic but i also posted yesterday asking for yet again a VERY simple change that HUGELY benefits every single user of this site but the topic dissapeared from the wall not long after posting it so it's not getting seen anymore, so if you don't mind, i will link it here also!

thanks for posting this CI!

The amount of times I’ve had to have an order swapped for something else as it ran out when I ordered is daft when there’s such a simple fix

Still a fairly new user, haven't been affected by a swap out yet (to my knowledge) but I wouldn't be happy with it. C'mon LB help everyone out

Didnt you win reald giveaway a while back? Lightning might strike twice.

I agree completely we need a stock counter for vendors

What does that look like though? How much back end processing of data will be needed to monitor stock

How does the weird run/not run side of LB continue in its act of presenting a semi autonomous front if they suddenly start developing things? 🧐🤷🏻

But we definitely need a stock counter of some manner for vendors

I just feel that the Borg's that be might feel they prefer the current open can of "no counter" rather than the potential bottomless pit of development hell that any major service updates bring

Any how Stock Counter please Borg's 😘

Bump, just going to keep pushing these topics to the top of the wall as often as i can, i wish we would all come together on this

Who do I have to suck off to make this happen too? This, dated posts and prices in £s has been long over due. I get pissed off enough when Tesco substitute Jaffa cakes for Cillit Bang. A simple feature like this would make life easier for both vendors and customers. Let's make this happen borgs!

Having been on this lovely sight for years (multiple accounts) it has been an utter frustration to browse for a considerable amount of time only to find what you think would be the perfect strain/vendor only to be sent something completely different. Some vendors will do the right thing and let you know that they have sent you something different because of stock issues, but the majority do not!!
I no longer am able to indulge but still buy for my other half, and she is very particular in what she likes!

It is high time!!!! LB BORGS!!! fix it!!

Would help to make this site seem a bit more organised. It’s difficult to tell what’s in stock and I don’t want to waste money on a replacement product so it potentially puts people off from ordering.

I'd love a stock counter more than anything, i'm a fan of the site how it looks and operates but this is a very important step forwards.(the less legit this site looks the better imo, and i like the dollars too because of this, even if we lose out at times)
I've been caught out before when vendor had little stock and i'll sometimes choose the strain with the biggest quantities listed in a shop just because of this.
CI are great folks, they never get wall time, even when us biggas praise them it always falls from wall.
Please consider LB!👍

I've not experienced this as of yet but definitely is an obviously need feature. That and changing pricing to £ is what this site desperately needs. Other than that, so far my experience with LB is golden

A stock counter is a must. Helps stop problems before they occur, which means more happy customers and more happy vendors surely?

I fully agree with this having a stock counter could cause so many less unhappy customers that wouldn't have purchased from a vendor if they knew their favourite strain wasn't in stock. It isn't really fair to vendors either as there are some biggas that are impossible to please and will hold it against the vendor when in reality its unrealistic to expect vendors to sit at a screen every minute to take stock . It's also an easy way for dodgy vendors to take advantage and get rid of bud that nobody is choosing to buy. Seems like a feature that would benefit every bigga out there!

I’m shocked this doesn’t exist already! A fairly simple feature to implement that would have great benefits for all parties, ultimately even for the admins as I’d guess sales would increase. Let’s get this done, for everyone’s sake

Stock counter makes perfect sense as there's no dates on posts so unless you get in early there's no guarantee that you'll actually get your preferred order placement.

Maybe the stock counter could be a sellers choice just in case they'd rather not disclose the amounts they have available for security or whatever?

I'd be happier knowing that the item I chose is the one I'd get as there's some strains I just don't like!

They can make a stock counter that doesn't publish the amounts
publicly and make it only visible to the vendor.

Unless you're saying vendors might not want to disclose the amount to LB, even if it is hiden from the users?

I have no idea if vendors would be happy saying they X amount tbh I was just thinking some may not like saying we got massive quantities purely from a security perspective.
I know from a buyers point that I'd much rather get the item I wanted rather than a different strain that's not to my liking, which is why I'd like a stock counter.
I'm not tech savvy so I have no idea whats possible and whats not.
Littlebiggy is an amazing site but there is always room for improvement!
Edit: With vendor choice of stock counter I ment the vendor could chose whether to implement the counter rather than be forced to use it.

This would be amazing - I know I've experienced a different bud being sent due to product being out of stock. Would also make the vendors lives a lot easier so they can keep tabs on inventory - pretty basic for all merchants to have some sort of IMS. I can definitely help if need be? Bless 🙌

Honestly this should be should an easy fix for this website. Stock counter should be used. I've used this website countless times and have suffered from not having one.

Luckily yhe vendors have been very helpful in the situation but nether the less it would be amazing!

Many thanks

Completely agree with Canadian Imports, this issue is causing sellers the added stress and admin work to let buyers know they have run out of stock or to ask about selecting an alternative. A stock counter would take away this issue almost immediately as sellers can state exactly how much of a product is left.

Understandably there could be some work here for the devs, however a consultation with the community would soon elicit the requirements for this tool. It may not be perfect at first, but surely implementing something and iterating the technical features would be better than sitting on hands.

Thank you CI for raising this and hopefully gaining the attention it needs.

Stock counter needed for sure..

-Happier less stressed vendors won't need to replace or refund
- more content buyers getting product they want for purpose required
-stickier LB getting more fees for better experiences

Ive had it before ordering something on LB waiting with such excitement only for what arrives to be nothing like what i ordered. Cant fault the vendor really...if it runs out it runs out but at the same time its not my fault either now im smoking some deadd bit i dont want. Vendors/buyers are a team we need eachother why LB tryna put walls between us like no stock counters or no time stamps on topics :-/

Would be a helpful tool for both vendors and buyers. Buyers could see what's actually available and not have their order or part of their order subbed if the item has gone.
Vendors can then have a smoother selling process which ultimately results in repeat customers and more transactions. It's a win win. A percentage of stock available, something like that.

This is one of the few issues on here that really frustrates customers and sellers. It’s a bit of a joke that you can spend so long picking a specific item only to receive something different, through no fault of the vendor.
It’s bastard to get the wrong thing, and I’m sure it’s a bastard having to send something that customers haven’t asked for.
Get the finger out LB admin!!

If take this over post date / time and thats saying something!!!

As a buyer, I've been done by this a few times.
Literally as my order is being processed the stock is gone and even though the vendor updated the post text, I was never to know.

thankfully my vendors have had something similar but would be pissed if I got a sativa over indica for instance.

Also, this hammers Sellers ratings.
I've read probably 1000s of reviews and many knock points off for a sub that was out of the vendors control!!!

"Weed is great but didn't get what I ordered so it's an 8"

And that's the nice ones, some slam them with 1s which must fuck your average, more so if new or not 1000s of sales.

We don't ask for much, and the site must make enough bank for a Web dev to sort this functionality, I doubt its even hard or long to do tbh!!

Shout out to CI for starting this thread and keep it going Biggas

Stock counter counts stock,done 😁

Mad respect to CI for pushing this envelope — using giveaways as a means to incentivise is a galaxy brain move. I’ve had my share of substitutes, and it can be really disheartening when you’re expecting a product you never receive. LB admin, there must be someone tech-minded you can consult for this stuff! Features like stock counters are basic for business sites and even IT students could install them with ease. Thanks again CI, I’ll be dreaming of that sweet 14g 🥲

CI give us the legendary “Amazon level” service, I think you deserve the back end tools to do your jobs more efficiently.
What’s the scenario when you’re down to the last few Oz of a particular strain on a Friday evening or Saturday afternoon and you want to do something else? do you have to keep logging in all weekend to check if you’ve nearly sold out or something?

A stock counter would be great, thanks for raising, missed out on too many special items by delaying buying as I had no idea stock was so limited.

Hi there. A stock counter would help vendor and patrons. Nothing worse than ordering something as tasty as Mimosa and without the vendors fault receiving Stardawg. Im only a buyer but can see the issues sellers have, especially when running low on a particular strain. Would be better if item auto removed itself after the predetermined weight had reached its end and stop buyers getting different stock. I wish everyone luck in the prize draw, but myself slightly more ;)
