Seems its a big risk for people to agree a trade and then use the marketplace only to get the item sniped by an F5'er.  Can't think of a solution quite yet but it would be cool if you could rig the amenity with a little bomb (bought in ITEM shop) or something, put it on the market for 1 dollar, 5k or generally some price where it's clearly undervalued.  When the sniper picks up the amenity at a bargain price it explodes putting them in Infirmary for a minimum of 40 minutes.

Doesn't solve safe trading but it would be cool to know you fucked up them F5'ers! Could even be used as a decoy to get a sniper first, then put the genuine amenity on the market that you agreed with the buyer.

EDIT : A possible way to solve safe trading is that when the amenity is rigged it has 20 seconds before it blows and a password is required to disarm it (agreed with the person who wants to buy it)

Thats not bad.

Passworded trades..

snipers can still get the stuff, but only at the cost of infirmary.

Just one thing I would add, if amenities go up with passworded bombs, then It should say on the openmarket. (Little bomb in corner of picture or something)

i'd say that i would be nice to have just password in the trade. The seller could have an option to list it to public or private. and if private, a password could be chosen.

but in the other hand, i don't know did Mufasa create the watchlist just for that, to make things more interesting, or just to see stuff, i don't know.

Nah, we shouldn't have private trades.

it would make it too easy ;P

nope, dont give em any clue. let them snipers find out the hard way

And what if people start putting everything up with a bomb?

or it can be rigged so you can put 1 name when you put it up for sale and then name you put only they can see it

lol..... you had to point the idea out.... "we're gonna have a blast at the market! shop till ur hed asplode"

If everyone put everything up with a bomb (after they agreed with the buyer and agreed on a password) then justice would be done if the buyer was too slow to buy the amenity (blowing up the sniper). BUT I see what you mean, as in if people put items on the market for the normal price and still added a bomb to them, so they would get the money and the buyer would be infirmarised. That would be a shit thing to do lol BUT you could always make the BOMB that you bought last for 1 minute before it expires. SO it would only be useful if you have agreed with buyer and he is online there and then.

EG) I agree to sell a toilet to Tom for $1. I then buy a bomb and rig the item and put a password to disarm it. I send Tom the password via message and make sure he is ready. When he confirms he is ready I put the toilet on the market for $1. The bomb auto diffuses if it has been on market for over 1 minute. BUT the buyer or sniper should of picked it up by then. Once the toilet has been bought a box comes up where you have 30 seconds to put the password in. If you put it in successfully then SORTED but if you don't then BOOM (and you cannot bypass the screen or try to sell the item before the 30 secodsn are up - You have to put correct password to move on)

this is a great suggestion! but not sure if mufasa will like it.
