Hey all,

In case any of you don't know (which I expect is all of you), I am a huge fan of videogames using systems and interfaces which mirror the methods of our current world. For example, ebay comes to mind when I think of the most efficient way to exchange goods over the internet. The current system, where you post and meet for an in game exchange only works on the intimate level we are used to on Layonara. As size increases, so has to the availably of sales, otherwise people will spend too much time trying to sell something and less time enjoying the game. Unless they want to be professional merchants, but hey... you can do that in retail and get real money, so go figure.

I've set the stage here, so with the idea of ebay in mind to borrow a format, discuss your ideas for the future market place of Layonara.
