We should be able to place them in town, I think. Honestly, what could it hurt? Be able to search the entire galaxy's bazaar system from your very own town? You'd still have to travel to pick up, but I don't know very many people these days who don't at least look at Bazaar sales from the planetary scale. And it would bring traffic INTO our cities if people had to come to pick up items!
Perhaps this would be something only a Rank 4 city could do.
Any thoughts?

I think this is a good idea. You should be able to do this when you get the ability to PLACE TERMINAL.
I mean, the only argument AGAINST this is for a buyer to lost the item if the bazaar terminal or even the city itself went "POOF!". Then the buyer would not be able to buy the item.
But like you said, this is just indexing for the static, NPC cities--NOT creating actual bazaars for player cities.
I think this would be very useful. I mean, I go to a bazaar in a NPC town, and if it doesn't have the item, I browse the galaxy anyway. Why not in a Player City?

I agree! Its an excellent idea! Would definitely bring traffic into the player cities!

even if it was a fully functional bazaar, where players could place sales and retrieve items from just like any other bazaar, all they would have to do is "force push" any items to the closest static bazaar if anything were to happen to the city. the easiest way to do this would to allow PC bazaars to automatically be linked to the closest static bazaar. Say the closest NPCity to my city is Pirate Outpost, Dantooine. Using my city's bazaar, I could sell items, that ppl could then purchase and pick up either from the Pirate Outpost, Dantooine bazaar, or from our city's bazaar. When purchasing items off of a vendor, a waypoint to that items location is automatically included. All they would need to do is include the PC's bazaar waypoint and maybe make a small note that should the bazaar where the item was purchased from be unavailable, the item can be requisitioned from XXXX city, planet.

Back to topic, I would love Bazaar Terminals in player cities. Perhaps with the Galaxy Vendor Search update :/

Since the shuttle tax is one of the only =working= sources of revenue, anything that brings in traffic is A Good Thing (TM)
