Consignment Shoppe!

[Gavry]

As there isn't an official feedback thread for this as of yet. I think I'll start a discussion. This is a major new addition and I'm sure there are a lot of people with different ideas and opinions on it.

I'll start off with my feedback.


Slot Costs
As anything plat related directly effects the income of Spacetime I'm sure they will set it to the best price for everyone. If they find not enough are selling they will drop the price. I'll reserve my judgement on this for a week or so.


Listing costs
This I'm really unsure and a little surprised by. I honestly don't see why there has to be any charge at all to list an item. If someone wants to list something at 1,500,000 it simply won't sell. Let the market decide what's fair, not impose some added influence to it.

Even more ludicrous is the gold cost increasing as you list for longer periods. As this is an international game the minimum time an item should be listed for is one day. That gives everyone around the world at least some chance to see the listing before it expires. Three hours is just CRAZY! I simply think you should list an item, at no cost, and choose a period, 1 day to 1 week. I don't think you should be able to unlist it once its listed. If someone chooses to list for a week that's their choice, they don't have the item for that period.


Item Price Stats
When looking at an item listed, or at one of your items you are going to list it would be good to have the following information provided to you relevant to said item (for the previous seven days):

1. Number of listings
2. Number of sale
3. Minimum sale price
4. Maximum sale price
5. Average sale price

I like the idea of the CS
However.
We were told that we would get 3 slots to start with.
We have 1.
We were told we could buy slots at 10p for 5 slots.
We pay 10p for 1 slot; 5 slots is 40p.
The tax is influencing the already messed up market.

I love this game and I like the consignment shop, but I won't buy slots until the fee comes AFTER the sale, which will be never, I guess.
