Wraith -> Auction House? (no rares) (9/30/2012 16:07:23)

I believe that sometimes equipment is really expensive.
So why not have an auction house?
For example, I have a old beaten-up Rusted Assault Bot as a PvP drop. I could sell it for 6k creds, but someone might want it because it costs 14k normally. So why not auction it? Set a starting bid at 1000 cr, next bid at 1600, until the winner goes out with a potentially underpriced weapon. The auctions have times restraints, such as expiring after 24 hours.
It could also be used as an alternative to the LQS -- NW puts 100 Weapon X in the Auction House, for X amount of time, with a minimum starting bid of 5000 cr and 500 Var, which increases per bid(to 600 cr, 600 var)...this way, stuff doesn't get sold out in the first minute or so, and lag is much better. (at Charfade zones, etc.)
inb4scam -- Other games have this (such as Forza Motorsport 4), and there's never scamming. Why? Because there's an auction end time. You can't just grab something immediately after it's put up:P
It's just my expensive alternative to trading. And because of rares, previous rares and promos are not allowed to be traded.
Idea 2: Buyouts. Sometimes, you need immediate money. That;s what buyouts are for. Say a Desert Ronin has a buyout of 10k creds and 700 Varium, which is a better deal than selling it to NPCs or buying it from the NPC. So instead of bidding, you can just have a buyout for immdeiate money. Obviously, because of scamming, buyouts needs to be at least 50% of weapon value.
And thus, you get a new cred earning method. Buy for cheap price, sell for high price.
