Trade feature for exchanging items/money
What TornLife's research has established about Trade feature for exchanging items/money, and the questions players asked about it.
What TornLife has verified
- The Trade feature lets a player add money to an in-progress trade; a developer confirmed and manually credited back $89,878 that a player lost from their hand when adding it to a trade during a site outage, without restoring it to the trade itself. (confirmed by Torn; lost money when adding money to trade, )
- The Torn Wiki's general Item page states items can be bought or sold via the Item Market, Auction House, visiting the East Side of the City, or by trading with other players, and that items may also be given by NPCs or staff members. (documented; Item › Details / Equipment / Useful Supplies / General Shopping / Non-tradeable, )
- A specific Trade History / trade log page exists at a URL pattern like trade.php with a logview step and a trade ID (e.g. trade.php#step=logview&ID=1813798), which displays the parties involved in a completed trade; a developer confirmed and fixed a 2017 bug where this log showed the wrong trading partner. (confirmed by Torn; Trade History, )
- A player reported a 'Past Trades' section that lists a player's previous completed trades with others; in 2015 a developer confirmed that trades made over a month earlier had been bulk-removed from this section as a one-off fix for site lag, implying trade history in that section was not kept indefinitely at that time. (confirmed by Torn; Trade history gone, )
- In 2015 a developer stated that recurring slow-loading and 504 timeout issues on the trades page were due to the trade history logs, and that this was resolved as of the prior day, indicating the trade history log is a server-side feature tied to the trade page's performance. (confirmed by Torn; trades issue, )
