VERY poor examples of auction systems. Go play any other game that has regional/local markets instead of a global market. I play games as much for their markets as I do for any other mechanic. (I'd be a rich man if I wasn't so damn poor.) I'll be happy to PM you a list of recommended games with such systems in place.

I think an auction house would work in Salem as long as each server had its own auction house, that way some items can be scarce/plentiful in certain servers and promotes travel.

I'm leaning toward auction house. It would make it possible for even the less evolved pilgrims, such as myself, to be able to trade goods without having to chase people over chat or forum.

This is bad? If newbies were selling hay for a reasonable price, I'd definitely be buying it. I hate gathering it myself, and my grain fields don't produce as much as I'd like to have. Same goes for lime. But with the way the stalls are now, I don't think it's worth it for stall owners to sell cheap stuff and they can't sell in bulk, either.

This. I had a noob pm me in game asking if I needed hay. We had a nice system for a few weeks. He's give me hay, I'd either pay him 5 silver each or the bartered equivalent of an item he needed (backpack, iron tools, etc).

The key here is that noobs, or anyone, can make money selling anything anyways. An auction house would just make the process easier and less hassle on the part of the persons looking to buy and looking to sell. People would want to invest their time to the grind deserve to reap the potential reward rather than a few privileged with funding to afford a stall's purchase or the luck to have come across one while available.

How about being able to have a stand next to your property or house?

Really? Why would you want that? I try to stay hidden. Plus it shows everyone what all you have, and they can raid you and get it for free..

Ummm...what if you live in a town? How do you stay hidden then? It's still called Salem, not Paranoia, right? :lol: The people I've met so far were very nice and cooperative.
