Here is an idea to spice up the Bazaar and help the non merchant out.


(some of this is my ideas and some of it is other peoples ideas)


1. Drop the 6k credit limit on the Bazaar. It is too low. I can earn that much money doing a mission in 10 minutes or less in the game. Make it so the limit is the same limit as on the vendors.


2. (CASH SINK!!!) If the 6k limit is dropped people will be selling some items that are a million credits plus on the Bazaar. Instead of a flat fee for selling items make it so there is a 2% fee applied to buyer or taken from the sellers price. Allow merchants that have the proper skill to have this reduced to a 1% fee. That will remove quite a bit of money from the game.


3. non merchants would still get a 25 item limit. Merchants could scale up in limits based upon what ever the new vendor limit is going to be.


4. make is so we can view the bazaar OR view player vendors on the planet or in the galaxy. We should be able to buy an item off of the Bazaar and pick it up at the shop. (this can be tricky but can be worked out)


Some of the problems I see with # 4 are. The person should not be able to buy an item if they are banned from the shop. A person should not be able to be banned from the shop if they have bought an item and have not picked it up. Items should be able to be picked up for a week. Vendor can't be destroyed if items are still waiting to be picked up. If those hurdles can be worked out this would make it so location is not as important and price would be the driving force in the galaxy.


1-3 are most important to me...4 is just something I saw someone mention and thought it was a neat idea.


What do you as merchants/non merchants/DEV's think of this idea?
