PLEASE stall owners do something about them

There are at any given time maybe 3 stalls that are actually worth checking. If possible, can those that have them please stock them, give them up or otherwise make them useful. Trading is dying a quiet whimpering death because there is no reasonable marketplace in Boston to hawk your wares or buy from others. Making silver is unbelievably cumbersome because of that. I actually just want to buy a couple of pieces of leather and maybe sell a few foraged goods to pay for that - beyond spending valuable time and effort trolling the forum or trying to converse with the maximum 7 other people in the trade irc, how can I achieve this with a minimum of fuss ? The new world was built on trade and to have no proper outlet for player crafted items in what is termed the 'crafting mmo' is beyond my understanding. I know its beta, but not having that feels like alpha !
I also suggest subdividing this forum by server so its easier to find what you need and ignore what you don't......

Because of tax and weekly cost stall prices are supposed to be absurdly high, that's the price of fastness of the stall trades. And as long as people will be lazy/stupid enough to buy from them and not forums, they won't be changed.

You have described exactly what I want - fully stocked stalls at absurdly high prices.......the only problem is, that's not what we have, we have empty stalls. Whilst I'll admit I want an outlet for my own wares beyond just the forums, I also want a place where I can buy 'normal' stuff I need, regardless of how much of a premium I have to pay.

So the problem is that some rich "griefers" buy all the stalls and put nothing there? Never noticed that, at Roanoke stalls are always full of random ridiculously overpriced crap.
What is should be present is way more stalls (and they should be accessible a bit easier, like increase the movement speed of characters in boston) so nearly anyone who got enough money can buy one, and to counter if someone decides to "grief" in this way.

Ah yes, sorry, I should have specified "Jamestown" server. I suppose that shines the spotlight on my second point - a sub-forum for each server on trade would be quite useful.

The Problem is that the owner of the stall just nowhere to go silver. There are no products that require large investments silver.
So over time count of goods offered for sale become so to make up for rent.

I have to agree for Jamestown,stalls are empty. I have for example only once found higher end food. I don't know if it's the lack of old players on the server or the whole stall system but it's a problem. Maybe upkeep costs of a stall should be different from other servers,this could give them a boost.
Also i think there should be an option to sell to stalls (Players could put limits in price and quantity)

I got nothing to contribute but another voice whining that all the stalls in Jamestown suck. I mean, okay, cool, I get that you have a lot of iron and want to sell it. But there are other things that the people need besides overpriced iron. Does anyone even know a stallowner? I feel like they might be a front for the mob. I mean, what's with 15s huckleberries?

i have put 90%+ pumpkin flesh of two different elements on my stall several times for 15 - 20s each (each one giving around 60 glutton points to their respective values) and not a single one was sold because retards think 20 silver per stat point is to expensive
have also put bags of 90%+ flour of all 4 elements on a stall several times which also never sold, do not blame the stall owners for putting nothing other than nails on their stalls when the server is still to newb or broke to buy anything else.
