I would like to see everyone have a private mailbox. If and when you have a trade pending, the seller can ship it right to the bidder and the bidder has X amount of time to open his mailbox and pay for said item. Fees will still apply and can be added onto the package if agreed upon. Not only is it secure, but it allows for trades when the buyer and seller miss each other online. Being able to buy an entire set in one package would be a huge plus. The slasher community is very small and sometimes its hard to overlap online times and this is the main reason I think the community needs the change. I know this subject has been brought up in the past, but with the new rewrite sometimes change is a good thing so lets keep it rolling.

Not needed.

If it isn't needed and the MP can handle all of our trading then WHY do we need a LS trading forum? One does not need the trading forums either. Its just a convenience to be able to obtain the most fg one can aquire. Down with the trading forum!!!!! Lets see more items on the MP!!

The trading forums serve a specific purpose - a seller and a buyer agree upon a price for an item

They then both log in to LS and establish communications via the LS Chat.

Not until both state ''READY to sell/buy"' should the item be placed on the MP

Seller states ''UP'', buyer does parameter search on MP and gets item

Simple, foolproof (when done correctly) and fast.

Nothing is "fool" proof.

Please note my parentheses comment (when done correctly)

Can you address the main point that makes this feature useful: "The slasher community is very small and sometimes its hard to overlap online times." Because what you're saying is very, very difficult in this tiny community sometimes with people in wildly different timezones / playtimes.

Fact 1: This could be useful
Fact 2: This would be abused and would encourage even more completely private trading, discouraging new players

Votin no

This confuses me, how would this feature increase this happening, exactly. By the way, I already have people ignore me when I offer to pay their BIN prices on their posts and follow up in a PM. So the existing trade forum works just fine at discouraging new players. I think this new feature would just make it easier to trade for people who aren't online at the same time.

The idea is sound, the pro's outweigh the con's, as long as it is used correctly.

Timezone is a major flaw in the game that can NOT be programmed into the game mechanics, thus this idea has the best merit.
Also, this idea can implement trades that have been confirmed in the trading forums: i.e. Rick trades 150ee lvl 25 Axe BIN set @ 250 fg / Alex BIN lvl 25 Axe @ 250 fg / Rick: Put on Private Trade @ 250fg (Note: same expiry time as Marketplace)

Now, this is where things can get interesting, IF Alex does NOT purchase the item within the timeframe, the FEE is deducted from HIM and returned to Rick... if Alex does NOT have the fees to compensate Rick, then his fg funds are in the negative, BUT, Rick pays the fee excluding what little fg Alex may have had.

There is also another factor that Paul could implement, when trading using the Private Trade function, fees are doubled, now with that, he can exceed the time limit before expiry and also increase it from 20 items to 40 items.

As for Package deals, you would have to place all items into it like a vault and set the fg amount vs those items.... hard to explain this, but I know people will figure it out.

Vote: Yes
