Prices and Quantity Display Help

[pricediscrimination]

Appears to desire a sort of mix.. As described everything shows login for price whether the product is available for purchase or not... Wants unavailable product that is to be dsplayed to be identified as out-of-stock so that customers don't uselessly create an account only to find out that the desired product wasn't available to begin with.

Exactly! Thank you for clarifying that far better than I was able to.

Btw, somewhat of an unwritten queston best to address up front is why have the product listed but not purchaseable? (Ie. What business need is being met to accomodate this?)

Is the product never to be available again? Is it temporarily out-of-stock? Can it be back ordered?

The products may be available again in the future, so back in stock notifications is implemented - not requiring a login. Also, leaving sold out goods is for information purposes, sort of like a gallery. These are actually hidden from main listing pages, but accessible via search engines/direct links.

Sounds like a little bit of a conflict of desired usage... Want to show that all out-of-stock product is out-of-stock so that they don't login to use the back-in-stock notificaton... Also not accepting purchase of product that is currently out-of-stock, but will return.

Did I miss something?

Back in Stock Notifications is there no matter what (login to see prices or not), it really doesn't come into play here, just making it known it's being used. Just want the Sold Out sign to display at all times, whether login to see prices is active or not.

Currently the way it works is: if Login For Price is active then Quantity 0 items still show "Login For Price".

What I need is: if Login for Price is active then 0 quantity items show "Sold Out"; if Login For Price is active then >0 quantity items show "Login For Price".

Unless, you are selling relatively unique items, I think you would be hard-pressed to find any customer impressed by what you HAD. If they run into that too much.....ADIOS!
I can see the "It'll be back next week" but, even too much of that will make them remove the bookmark in a heartbeat.

Thank you for the input, but this isn't an issue in this particular case. Please help solve these two problems.

You know that there is a separate display option for quantity remaining, and that text could be controlled to display the desired text. (A bit "easier" to manage than the requested modifcation.)

I am still desperately trying to figure out how to show Sold Out on out of stock items instead of Login for Price, but in the meantime... thanks to mc12345678's post above, I was able to find out how to create a limited stock message. Anyone reading this thread looking for an answer, hem's solution is what you need!
