| Could you perhaps remove 'money' from the secondary item search? Searching for secondary items includes trades with money. Kinda odd? |

| i use it aplenty - in the reverse. Show me who is willing to put cold hard coin on the table for something I probably have. |

| Yes, but it would be nice to be able to exclude money. Its fine to be its own item in the list. Just too many offers with money to properly search of secondary resources that are other-than-money. |

| so, actually, a "Not money" in the dropdown list would be extra handy. |

The market code was some of the very first code I wrote for the game -- even before golem construction and combat -- so it's in badly need of an overhaul. I'd like to rewrite it and seperate resources, items, and golems into their own sub-markets. As a result, the search function will be much easier to use.
Two big things that will be done when this happens: I'll make it so that prospective buyers can review a golem before buying, and resources will not be taken from your workshop until after the offer is accepted (and as a result, I'll probably remove the 24 hour expiration on market offers).
First, I want to get the spell system going before I do this.

| Since you are on the subject, I just want to ask for one request. At the moment, if I organize the list to sort by iron only offers,...I get that. But when I perform one of those trades, it brings me back to the original market screen. At which point I have to perform the query all over again. So what might be nice is to just maintain your query throughout multiple trades. Chances are if somebody buys one load of iron, they're going to buy more than one. It'll also help cut down on bandwidth, and you can never go wrong with that. ;) |

| As a work-around, I right-click on Accept and open it in a new window, leaving the query list intact. |

| You know, that's not a bad idea. Thanks for the suggestion. :) |

I would be interested in an option for "standing" or auto-repeating offers. Not as a way around the 24-hour limit, but to make it possible to, for example, say "offer five bone for two iron, until the warehouse is below 2000 bone or above 20,000 iron" and then when someone offers, say, 750 iron for 2500 bone, my broker automatically accepts.
It would save a lot of repetitive data-entry, and help stabilize things by making equilibrium prices more obvious. |
