Now I am no rocket scientist, but the prices of single vs bulk in the Black Bean Curious Shop seem to be way off. One of an item is 70 coins, where as 13 are 1200 coins, but 70 x 13 = 910. Is this some sort of 'nexon discount' for having to package them in bulk?

    there may be a limit to how many single items you can get per character

    There is, but charging more for bulk does not make sense. You should be able to get 16 instead of 13 at the price, but then again this is nexon, and their math does not computer on a lot of things.

    They did this before.
    Look at it the other way: the price for a 13-pack is what it is, but if you only want a few of the item, you can buy them at a discount.
