In bulk, a commonly used phrase that refers to buying or selling goods in large quantities. The opposite of "in bulk" would be "in small quantities" or "individually." When purchasing items "in small quantities," the amount bought must be limited, and the price per unit is often higher. Buying items "individually" means purchasing only a single unit. This can be more feasible for items that are expensive or used less frequently.

  Julius Wellhausen
• It is not growing like a tree in bulk doth make man better be Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere, A lily of a day is fairer in May Although it fall and die that night, It was the plant of flower and light, In small proportions we just beauties see And in short measures, life may perfect be.

  Benjamin Johnson
• The greatness of an estate, in bulk and territory, doth fall under measure; and the greatness of finances and revenue, doth fall under computation. The population may appear by musters; and the number and greatness of cities and towns by cards and maps. But yet there is not any thing amongst civil affairs more subject to error, than the right valuation and true judgment concerning the power and forces of an estate.

  Francis Bacon
