Legacy Pricing on Vendors

Doesn't seem to be working.
Also, can there be an option to toggle the new pricing feature on/off, similar to the sale notification/listing on the website? Or hit enter to confirm the price? I don't mean to be rude, but I'm just not a fan of this, nor do I see how it will benefit anyone aside from those who stock one or two items in bulk. It might only add one click, but those are going to add up.

I'll mention this directly to Colibri, as I think it was probably an oversight to not add a fully "off" function for this new gump of his. I certainly wouldn't want to manage a vendor that way, I'm too used to the old school method and it's much faster for bulk modifications. Even 1 extra click would irritate me, so I can imagine it's troublesome for the players.

Well for bulk items I'd imagine it would be nice; kegs, rep deeds, etc. (once the legacy price feature is working, that is. ATM it's far from fun

) I generally stock all my armor at the same price, so it may prove beneficial there. But for individual items, pscrolls, dex/str jewelry, etc. etc., which vary depending on the item, it does become irritating. There's also the potential issue of, after stocking an item, should you accidentally highlight any item, you'll need to click on the price window again.

Yeah i added the legacy function right before the restart, just checked that the button worked but didn't check if entering the price works. Going to fix it at the next restart.
This new menu is sort of "required" so nobody misses the description-price rule, and also we've had cases where price was put in the description by accident... One thing is for sure, the legacy option will work. Perhaps i'll put it in somesort of options to turn this on or off (also to turn off the new auto-lockdown-release thingy).

That's pretty much what I figured. Could try maybe removing the description from the website? This would negate any problem of people putting prices in the description, or breaking the rules by not knowing about said rule. People searching for an item on the website generally know what it is they are after as well.
EDIT: could put the item ID in place of where the description is =)

If the new vendor gump is going to stay, a couple things should be done
-hitting okay with nothing entered should move the item back into your pack.
-the okay button should be moved next to the price input section. The clicking aspect of this is annoying and this would reduce it slightly.
