I think we can all agree that selling items can be a right pain in the backside - trying to compete with chat spammers, text scrolling at 100mph, and still not finding a buyer for what you want to get rid of.
On the other hand we have Party Search that a lot of people STILL don't know how to use effectively (if at all) so ...
Why not combine trade with Party Search ?
Select "Trade" from a dropdown, and because the text you can type is exceptionally short anyway (not even enough to describe one item), have up to 7 boxes (same as the trade interface) you can whack items into so everyone who's looking can mouse over them and see what you're offering - any potential buyer can click on the ones they want, click "Trade with this person", Trade window opens with the selected items in it, and let the negotiations begin ...
It would cut down on chat volume considerably, speed up buying/selling equipment and seriously cut back on bait & switch scams (although, as ever, always check the trade window to see what you get is what you want)
Just a harmless brainstorm ...
