"going rate" app or page (or I dunno, stock ticker) for tower sales items?

So I get the feeling that a lot of people's towers are going to start selling items. And I strongly suspect that prices will vary a bit  from those at the auction house - people running a resource route might be willing to pay a little more for the convenience of an on-street sammich, for example. There ought to be some way of knowing the current average, lowest, and highest price for items being sold in towers, to encourage competitive pricing and to let glitches know where a special item might be obtained at the best price (and so I know how much I want to charge for my stuff). 

Could this happen?

  • This makes sense to benefit buyers and some sellers but not other types of sellers, and I am more that type.  So I'm like... +1 for in-general game-mechanic type stuffs, but -1 for my own style of gameplay and desires.

  • Nice idea. An Ur-wide "where can i buy X and at what price" page. Does the API support this type of information gathering for a third-party to set this up (like Zoggish's insanely useful site)?

  • I think the tower SDB selling should be tied into the AH. You can buy the items through the AH and wait for the frog delivery or go to the street and buy them in person for instant gratification.

  • Some sort of pricing info hub is going to be pretty important. How to implement? Gah! 

    Question too hard. Head hurt.

  • I like Janitech's idea of linking AH and towers although I could see some problems with listing fees etc in implementing this. But could we have a button that says "Go to GlitchName's Street" instead of the Buy this Item button?
