Setting up shop: Vending Machine idea

OK, I don't know if this has been suggested before, so here goes.  With the new housing comes new opportunities to expand and create within our own semi-customizable spaces, as well as the public spaces.  So, here's my thought:  What about adding a new machine like a Block Maker (but sticky like a Gnome) that you can place on your own street or in your house.  You could fill this machine up with items and then set prices for those items for other people to buy.  People could then spend currants (or whatever we'll have soon) to buy things.  Allows for a more robust economy, some standardized vendor-like locations, and allows for direct sales, without you having to be online to do it.

Thoughts?

  • That would be very cool. Better than auctions cause you get it right now and then. And vending machines have been suggested before, for in the hidden rooms.

    "When imagination is introduced, there will be many things which can only be "bought" with imagination (mostly land & character upgrades) so currants will become somewhat less important overall.

     The few remaining things which can only be bought from vendors (with currants) will be made craftable by players. Later, vendors will at first stop buying things they don't "need" and vendor buy prices will become variable. Finally, game-run vendors (generally) won't buy stuff at all. (Our long term goal is to completely eliminate game-run vendors, though player-run vendors would be ace.)"
