Yesterday i stood in droks for 30 minutes trying to sell my chaos axe from FoW, and I got no buyers. It really frustrated me because I could've used that time to farm or quest with my other characters.

My idea to remedy this is to set up a sort of "classified section" if you will for items. A person could click on some icon in the game and search for an item he was interested in buying anywhere in his territory. Then he could contact the seller (who would've posted the item on the classified board to sell it) by sending him a whisper and purchase the item. Easy. The buyer gets what he wants when he wants it, and the seller doesn't have to waste time shouting "WTS" for hours on end.

I think it would work like the "Search" feature used for partying for missions. Only this one would be useful. Tell me what you think!

Why require the whisper ?

The seller places their item in the classified with the price. The buyer then comes along, probably while the seller is offline, find the item and clicks buy. Then the gold and items are transfered automatically.
