While in DM mode, check and see what material those items are made of.
You'll likely find that some are "material: granite" or something along
those lines.  AFAIK, this is what keeps the items from merging.

Leaving a stack of similar items in your apartment, and allowing the map
to be swapped out and written to disk (again, AFAIK) will result in the
entire stack being merged.  For instance, 3 rubies & 5 rubies will merge
in to a stack of 8 rubies.

Finding a way to replicate this, consistently, is the issue.

Unless there is more information I am aware of.
