Merchant Archive

I'm a non merchant, and know about people who get merchant skills, open a vendor and then drop the skills. Which I understand is being fixed in a near publish. This I can agree with no problem... however I have an idea I'd like to see implemented along the same lines...

Give Master Merchants the ability to have vendors sell on consignment.

Basically, they'd have the ability to add other players to a consignment list, who can add items to one of their vendors. A portion of the selling price would go to the vendor, and the rest to the person who put it up for sale. The vendor can determine what percentage they receive.

Yes, many merchants have suggestedconsignment salesbefore, and I think that it's safe to say that the majority of the merchant community is fully supportive of the idea. I'm not sure if it would need to be limited to master merchant.

No matterhow it would work (whether the non-merchant could actually add items or the merchant would do it themselves) the simple ability to sell items, while leaving another character as the actual owner, and being able to set a price or percentage to split the proceeds of a sale, is something a lot of people would like to see.

Devs how about fixing the game for once?

Oh yes this is needed.

Personally what I would like to see is the ability to place on the sale how much of a % is a fee.

I have no merchant skills, I work with a merchant to sell meds giving them 15% of the sale. Currently that merchant basically buys everything at 15% off. Woat would be better is if we could key in there who gets what % of the sale. That way the back end systen can back tim each party the appropriate funds immediatly..no muss no fuss. No waiting to get tipped by your merchat friend and no merchat having to take the risk of paying first and stocking something they cnat sell
