Yet another idea to reduce tricks in trading window, and to enhance CS

[Milan Lame Man]

I can see a lot of ideas to improve the 1 on 1 trading but one idea, that is pretty obvious, has not been suggested yet (AFAIK).
How about "my own" CS? You click my toon, and instead of selecting Trade, you get "Cons. Store". Then you get to browse the items I offer, at your own pace.
There would be no fees or limits in this personal CS, and the trade would be cancelled if I leave the zone. It would be nice to have indication like "Milanlameman is browsing your store" and "Milanlameman left your store". Or some icon could hang above people's head when they are browsing.

Of course you couldn't trade item for item in this but that makes a minority of trades, I believe.

It could be enhanced to buying too. I'm afraid it would require a lot of work from the developers, OTOH "requests" would make a nice addition to the regular CS:
You click item in CS, select "buy for", enter price, pay fee, tadaa, request listed.

Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough. I would post requests in *my* CS, not in yours.
The only way I could spam you is with "browsing" / "left" notifications, that's why I think some "My CS is busy" icon would be better.

A personal shop is a great idea.
-Just place your items in your "ready" window with set sell prices. Then, fill out an optionally small personal message for anyone who browses. (like "Or best offer" or what have you)
-A new title should appear above your head to indicate you are ready to sell.
-People can freely browse. Getting notifications that someone is browsing your shoppe isnt a bad idea. This will be a great way to open dialogue without anyone who might be interested.

*Now to address getting spammed by "stupid offers". Well frankly, sitting in town and just merching is way more frustrating, since your actively asking and will likely get more silly offers anyways. This is a controlled environment with a much more passive approach to selling. This also creates less stress on the player beacuse your wasting less time on actually "trying" too hard. AND HEY if you dont like the personal shop, just feel free to spam away in town. To me, however, that can be just as annoying as getting lame offers.

-PS introduce a joinable trade channel. STOP TOWN SPAM!!
