An issue I currently have with the shops is the limitations for pricing anything over 1 stack. For example, I would LOVE to sell wool at 4 stacks/diamond. But I can't. So instead, I have to link it to the price for Iron or something else, and then I also need to find someone to trade me diamonds for iron. That's not an easy task.

ORIGINAL IDEA BELOW
I would love to see some kind of format where you can sell more than a stack as a single price. Maybe a sign format like this:
$
<description>
<items>
<cost>
Where my example would look like this
$
<white wool="">
<4 Stacks>
<1 Diamonds>
(Side note, it's weird that Diamond isn't accepted for the price line.)
Currently, the only way I can do this is through manual trades while online, or through the use of shulkers (at which point I have to charge for the shulker).
Why would this be enjoyable?
It improves the market capabilities and would allow for more standardized prices (through diamonds)
How does this improve the server?
It would help with promoting a stable economy by having a primary form of currency (diamonds)
Complexity to Implement
Probably a 10. It would require possibly a change to the majority of how shops function. I don't know enough to gauge this fully, but I don't imagine this would be an easy task. </white></cost></items></description>

UPDATED IDEA:
Add a new item and recipe. Diamond Nuggets (name suggestions welcome). 1 Diamond <-> 9 Diamond Nuggets
This would allow for selling things at the cost of a partial diamond, without having to worry about exchange rates to other entities.
Same exact reasons, but now a LOT easier to implement.
