Allow vending stands to take goods in return for coin

Yeah, I was considering finding a newb to manually buy fish for coins from other newbs at Novigrad so they can use them to buy gear, but it's pretty much a full-time job so I doubt anyone would want to do it.

It would also open the way for a new type of occupation - the trader. People could (if so inclined) lurk around the trading agora, taking advantage of the non-transparency of the markets, most players would probably be too busy to care about the exact market price for linen, and just set a (to them) reasonable price.

Exactly. Once regional resources are implemented, I want to buy such goods where they're produced, sell them at a distant location, buy goods produced there, return to start point, sell the second goods there and keep repeating the whole thing until prices equalize. And I want to do it with a ship.

Yes.

I think the issue of vending stands not being able to give coin for goods is very easily solved by the people producing the goods operating stands themselves.

Yes, I always wanted to be a virtual cashier

laremere - still here, still posting bad ideas. suggesting things that 'sound cool' without giving a thought to whether they make good gameplay

• <Laremere> hmm, here we have an afk trading mechanic. clearly there is no need to improve it, as you can just babysit it when online yes!?!?

That's not what I'm saying at all. First off, I would think it would be very nice for vending stands to offer coin in return for goods, however at this time it may not be necessarily worth the dev's efforts. If established players made market places, and let newbies put up stands there through which they could sell goods (such as fish or linen) other players could come by and buy the goods, and a reverse vending stand isn't needed. Yes, it may be a bit tedious, but with some organization within the market place it shouldn't be a problem.
