Yet Another Idea! This idea came to me when I was playing Dofus and recogonised that people sell things at very different ranges, I said to myself, "why is this?"
I think that people always try to get the best prices for their items and resources by selling in the sellrooms and selling in trade chat. I think that there should be a new map or building placed over a current map not being used, or evan underground like the once created sellroom under astrub zaap. In this place you would be able to put your items in a sell room at a minimum price you want, for example: Gobball Ring - 1000 Kamas Minimum.
And say two people wanted this item the first one would bid for this item at 1000 Kamas, after the first bid if no one else bids for it the player would recieve this item after a period that the player decides to sell it at and if not sold returned to their bank. If another player bids on the item, whoever was selling it at the point where they put the item in the sellroom they would have a choice of the price increase in a set (%) per bid.
For example:
0 Bid(s) Gobball Ring - 1000 Kamas - next bid at 1050 Kamas (Starting Price)

1 Bid(s) Gobball Ring - 1050 Kamas - next bid at 1100 Kamas (5% Increase from starting price)

2 Bid(s) Gobball Ring - 1100 Kamas - next bid at 1150 Kamas (5% Increase from starting Price)

There are also set times that people get to set the item to sell for.
For Example:
0 Bid(s) Gobball Ring - 1000 Kamas - next bid at 1050 Kamas - 9 Hour(s) Remaining.
The player gets to choose different times from 1 Hour - 72 Hours. (Times are negotiable).

If you could understand what I am trying to say, basically its a bidding sellroom where players have a chance to buy an item they want whilst the seller is gaining more profit each bid.
When bidding the player would see what price they would have to pay to increase the bid, this solves the obvious problem of people adding 1 kamas per bid.
The player cannot remove their offer after placing a bid.
The seller cannot remove their item after placing in the shop after the first bid has been placed.
The player must also be able to understand this clearly before selling an item or incase of putting an item in the shop by mistake or at a wrong price. I think by doing this it would make prices for items more roundish rather than prices fluctuating in cost.
I hope you like this idea and I hope to see it in the future. Thanks for reading and all opinions are welcome.
