Hi all

(first off, sorry if this is the wrong forum section to post it in)

With so many useless items coming out of the chests, I have been doing a lot of selling lately. Usually try to sell in Old Ascalon or Piken Square but selling can be quite akward. A lot of the time your selling message is flooded within seconds, giving hardly anyone a chance to read it.

Or someone is interested, so you go half way across the city to find them, only for them to cancel the trading session because the item has or lacks a feature they want.

What if the sale/buying method was tweaked slightly. My idea is that new NPC are added which you go up to, click on the item you want to sell and put down how much you are willing to accept for it.

Then another buyer comes along and say for example is after a Purple Fire staff max damage. He clicks on the NPC and enters the search criteria, that search criteria comes up with a list of people who are currently online, full details about the staff that they are selling, and also the ability to whisper them. That way you don't have to spend a while jumping from city to city trying to sell an item - instead you just let the NPC know you are selling it and leave the details with him/her, and then the buyer comes to you.

Another advantage of this is hopefully people will lower the prices of items they are selling. If this method appears in list form that obviously buyers are going to want to go for the cheapest price, encouraging sellers to lower their prices.

*edit* Another idea a fellow clan member had was to have the ability to trade anywhere. That way, a person interested in your item can trade with you even if you are out on a quest/mission.

Advantages:
>No more having to jump from town to town spending a lot of time on selling
>Less spamming on servers
>Prices will ultimately be lower due to competition

Disadvantages:
>Selling for a set price
-Usually when I meet up with possible buyers, I ask them what their offer is first to determine if they will offer me more than I would sell it for. With this new method, trading will be at a set price (unless you try to bargain with seller) meaning you might get less than what the item is worth.

Any comments welcome

Your idea has been suggested by so many people. Take a look in game suggestion forum. There are so many people requesting for that auction house feature. I do hope A Net will add this feature. It's a good feature and will benefit everybody.
