An idea very close to slady's was implemented, just with one NPC - Harold -
to do both roles.

Trading items in Stendhal is not as easy as it could be, since it requires
the player to be present on-line in the game.

My idea of new market place is as following:

Two NPCs - one for buying items from players, one for selling items. On
the server side, there would be a list of items to be sold, accompanied
with their prices. It would work more like a bazaar or flee market in this
way.

This would create the in-game economics that Stendhal really lacks.


Use case:

Player comes to the buyer NPC and offers him some items. The buyer takes
the items and asks for price requested. The items are added to the offer
list.

Then another player comes to the seller NPC, and she offers the items for
the requested price. When the items are sold, money withdrawal can be done
at the buyer NPC.


Intended scenario:

In this short scenario we can see a player named 'PlayerA' buying 3 minor
potions for 60 money and selling them for 105 money. If another player
named 'PlayerB' buys these items, then 'PlayerA' gets the money in cash.

Chapter #1: Checking price and buying items 

PlayerA: Hi
SellerNPC: Hello, I sell items. Ask me 'offer' or 'offer goods'.
PlayerA: offer
SellerNPC: I sell: Helmet, Axe, Sword, Potion. Ask me e.g. 'offer
helmet'.
PlayerA: offer potion
SellerNPC: I sell 3 minor potion for 20 money, 7 minor potion for 43
money, 4 potion for 150 money.
PlayerA: buy 3 minor potion
SellerNPC: 3 minor potion is 60 money. Do you want to buy it?
PlayerA: yes
SellerNPC: Serves you well!
PlayerA: bye
SellerNPC: Bye.

Chapter #2: Selling items

PlayerA: Hi
BuyerNPC: Hello, in this bazaar, you can sell every item you wish.
Currently, you are selling no item.
PlayerA: sell 3 minor potion
BuyerNPC: What price do you request for each one?
PlayerA: 35
BuyerNPC: The offer was made. Thank you! Come back to request your money.
PlayerA: bye
BuyerNPC: Good bye.

Chapter #3: Another player ('PlayerB') buys the items

PlayerB: hello
SellerNPC: Hello, I sell items. Ask me 'offer' or 'offer goods'.
PlayerA: offer potion
SellerNPC: I sell 3 minor potion for 35 money, 7 minor potion for 43
money, 4 potion for 150 money.
PlayerA: buy 3 minor potion
SellerNPC: 3 minor potion is 105 money. Do you want to buy it?
PlayerA: yes
SellerNPC: Serves you well!
PlayerA: bye
SellerNPC: Bye.

Chapter #4: Final money withdrawal

PlayerA: Hi
BuyerNPC: Hello, in this bazaar, you can sell every item you wish.
Currently, you are selling no item. In the mean time, you made 105 money.
PlayerA: withdraw
BuyerNPC: Here is your money. Thank you for using our market place!
PlayerA: bye
BuyerNPC: Good bye.


Note: To prevent buying and selling repeatedly, we can introduce some tax
(let's say 5% of requested price) or some fee for item listing.

It would be great to have something like a trading interface, where both
sides have to accept the trade.
Without dropping anything to the ground.

Just an idea:

* two windows where each player could put his part of trade
* each window has 2 buttons 'accept' and 'reject'

The players will put there items in the window and if one clicks 'reject'
the trade is aborted.
If both press 'accept' the trade is done.

This would be really nice to have because of the annoying players who
steal items.
An other advantage of this is that its easier to tell new players and it
can be done anywhere - without a table or something.

I would say that the trading table in semos townhall covers this?

Thoughts: this could also be implemented using an
intermediary NPC or NPCs.
