Introduce a Trading Post - a centralized system where players can list trade lots containing 1 to 10 items. These listings would be publicly viewable, allowing others to make custom offers using cash, items, or a combination of both.

 

How it works:

  • Players create "Trade Lots" of up to 10 (or more or less) items

  • Other players browse active lots and submit offers (cash, items, or both)

  • Lot owners can review and accept the most appealing offers

 

Why this would be a valuable addition:

  • For traders: A streamlined system to showcase multiple items and receive competitive offers without constant manual negotiation or forum bumping

  • For collectors: Easier discovery of rare or specific items bundled together, potentially at negotiated prices

  • For new players: A more accessible introduction to bartering and item trading, lowering the barrier to entry for participating in the economy

  • For weapon and armor sellers: An efficient way to advertise sets or bulk inventory to reach a broader audience and receive mixed offers (e.g., partial cash, partial items)

 

This feature would enhance Torn’s trading ecosystem by promoting dynamic bartering, increasing item visibility, and encouraging creative deal-making, especially for players rich in assets but low on liquid cash. It adds depth and usability to trading without replacing the existing systems.

I was just typing almost exactly this out as a suggestion before I realized I should check to see if anyone else has posted about it before. Great job reading my mind. Rate +

I like the idea of bartering/trading items, since it would help to avoid buy mugging (without taking steps like self hospitalizing).

It would be nice for RW weps too. That way you don’t have to overprice it on IM, or dig through forums/displays/third party sites to lookup weps/armor you’re interested in.
