PCITY BAZAARS:

Please give Poli the ability to place a city bazaar. The city bazaar should tie to all of the NPC bazaars as well as to any other PC bazaars. They should function in the exact same way as the NPC bazaars, but the mayor should be allowed to control how much the fee is for placing items on the bazaar, and any sales tax a city has should be calculated onto the items automatically as they do with the vendors. Of course, any item sold at 6k would have the tax as well, but the 6k sales limit would still be in effect and not be exceeded, but for the tax that would be added on after item placement.

All placement fees and tax would be collected by the city treasury.

As a merchant, this could bring new customers from across the galaxy. I make several purchases from the "galactic" bazaar in coro looking for ppl who are selling the new loot items, electronic keys, hides, ect. If all PC's had the ability to place bazaars, I would more than likely be able to find what I am wanting from the cities on coro rather than have to travel the entire galaxy. And i might even search the whole galaxy anyway depending on what i was looking for. I spend my time crafting and shoping, so visiting 20 PC's in one day to pick up items is no big for me. As well, id be more likely to browse the shops in the city while im there picking up my goods. This would bring in money to the PC's in the placement fee, sales tax, shuttle fees (if there is a shuttle in the city).

I don't even think technical would be a reason,

Failing and disappearing cities are what pops in my head for bazaar problems

imagine waiting to win that auction and when time comes the city isnt even there anymore

or buying something, going to pick it up and you get dead from faction or banned cause they can.

PersonallyI do not want my vendors tied into the bazaar in any form.

I do however want a seperate NPC city terminal for Merchants to 'register' their vendor wares on

{add vendor and it will actually show what you have for sell before they travel to buy}

or a market place where merchant's are allowed to place 1 vendor in a NPC city

{we still pay fee and drop vendor but they are in 'stalls' that we rent}

stop looking at me
