TOPIC: [SSRP] Upgrading the Shop Suggestion

Server Name:

Semi-Serious RP

Suggestion Title:

Upgrade the shop.

How would it benefit the server:

Will allow for another way to buy items without constantly adverting with the same price to then get people messing you around.

Potential Issues/Exploits:

Someone managing to steal items from players looking to sell in the shop.

Additional notes:
Firstly shout out to Onionrings for the idea

So the idea would be that Shop Owners, Gun Dealers and any other job that has the ability to place down a shop would have two windows; one that's for selling items (which is already on SSRP) and one for buying items.

The way this buying items section would work would be, the owners can choose from a list of pre-existing items things they want to buy and choose the price they wish to buy them at. Once they have chosen the item it will appear in the "buying" category of their shop as if it would in the selling category.

The shop owner can then place a set amount of money in their shop which will be taken from their wallet / bank and it will be kept in their shop as it would their bank. If someone opens the shop and choses and item they might want to sell for that price, it would automatically take the money from the shop and give it to the user who has sold the item and vice versa for the item.

I believe this is a great system to counter-act the fact people go AFK automatically adverting that they're selling an, doing that basically defeats the point of the advert system as they aren't going to be able to complete the trade whilst away from the game.

Would you be able to select the amount of items you want to buy. For example if you wanted to buy 65 Steel would you be able to select that amount and it then auto stop after you have gotten 65 steel.

All amounts of items would be left up to the shop owner.

Wouldn't it just send you a message like:

People would still advert it

What I meant by the advert thing was that people were adverting they're selling stuff but not able to actually trade anything because they're afk

That's called business => Time is money.

Or just add a Grand Exchange and completely remove the shop owner job which imo is useless

and these people are wasting a lot of time!

That's true, but what is time for you and what is time for them? Think about it, we cannot judge about them, if we don't know what time is for ourself.

I had an idea similar to this not too long ago, but had no idea how they'd implement it.

They need to remove the 1bil cap , I have items I wanna sell for like 2.5bil :/

They should make a shop npc kinda thing in spawn and players could list everything they are selling there

bump

would be very nice

always wanted a buying feature, will only increase trade
