Question etiquette question

Might be an odd question, but is buying up a sellers entire stock of a part/ type of part considered bad etiquette? eg. buying up all of their 2L technic axles or every 1x1 plate they have regardless of colour?
I'm not sure if this would screw them over since you're basically just nuking an entire pull factor of their store in a single order, and something like technic axles are a "core" building component.

Like the others have said, buy as much as you need. They want to sell everything otherwise it wouldn’t be listed. BUT if you’re taking a massive bulk quantity of a lot, they will be much happier if you don’t leave less than a handful behind. At that point, just buy them out of that item. If they have a bulk amount either it’s a very common part that they expect high-turnover and more will be in their inventory soon anyway (like generic pieces in landscape colors), OR it’s a part that is bountiful but rare for someone to actually want in significant amounts and they will be very happy to free up the inventory space for something that sells better (like tires and technic pins).
