I was wondering if we could have somewhere where we could have a recorded bidding of items. This way, the seller would be able to set individual item prices, and buyers would be able to go there to see what's being sold. This would clear up the market forum for rarer items, and would organize everything into an easy to access area. If the game itself can't incorporate it, maybe a user-made site where this would be possible?

All bids would be public, so none of this "oh, someone already bid 100 eds for it, so bid 101." Less fakers could come on and scam, though it would still be a possibility as to not make it too easy.

I saw something similar here, but didn't want to revive it as it was 8 months old and didn't offer too much information.

Yeah. I suppose that's a simpler way to put it.

I personally think Mu has enough on his plate and also then who would moderate this and do the behind the scenes work even after it was implemented. Too much work without adding much value/depth to the game imo? I could be wrong, but I dont think it will add much value and the way things are done already work ok?

Also its a prison game, anything goes. If you get scammed it can be classed as part of the nature of the game. Everything is done at the players risk.

It isn't to reduce scamming, just to have it more organized. And like I said, It could be user-made and user-operated.

I dont know enough about game programming to know how easy/difficult that is to do. I am just guessing its not easy.
