We have the ability to add items and keep track of our gold, but it would be really helpful to have the option to deduct an item's gold value when adding them.
It should be noted that the prices in the books are recommendations and DMs not only may change the prices to better fit their setting, but characters can also haggle for better deals. As such, D&D Beyond doesn't automatically deduct gold when adding items because it'd be the incorrect amount more often than it'd be the correct amount.
