Hi SL players,

here is the deal.

An exchange terminal where we offer buys and sell. The mechanism is easy:

I offer to buy 1 nova for 45K. (the terminal takes 45k from me)
Someone offers to sells 2 for 40K each.
The terminal will do the transaction, by giving me the nova and 5K back.
That someone gets his 40k and the other nova is still in auction, being sold.

/////////

I offer to buy 3 sasz-planetkiller vest for 600 credits each.
Someone (1) offer to sell for one for 800c
Someone (2) sells 2 for 300c each
and someone (3) sells one for 601c

The transaction will be between me and the second guy (2)
I ll buy the two vest he is selling and i ll have to wait for the third.

//////

Summary: I offer a buying price and the auction looks for that item for the same price or lower. If i'm selling, the auction will look for the same price or higher.
Being able to sell/buy the same item multuiple times would be good.

And please take out the selling fee, its ridiculus. I won't pay 3800 credits to sell a bone ears for 280k.

One more thing:

There are players who "merch". What does merch mean? These people select one item, buy all of it and sell for higher price. These people are the ones who rise/overprice the value of some items. Be aware of that.

Take the exemple of napalm price rise. From june to now, the price went up of 20% and way more. Smart people buy them all and sell them after for higher price. Thats called merching.

Yes i took the idea from RS, but these are the good ones. RS is ruined, but we can keep the really good ideas the developped and integrate to SL.
