17 Trade Market Station

The Trade Station would in fact be a player market place. When anyone clicks the link 17 they would be taken to the market right away. There would be tabs across the top like this example below ...

___________________________________________________________________________________
_ Metal - Crystal - Deuterium - Ships ___ Pending Orders + Post _______
___________________________________________________________________________________
_ Status - Amount - Unit Price - ___ Resources - Amount - Unit Price - Traded - Cancel
_ Offer - 30600400 - 7 Rubies -

>>>Iron - 20000 1 Ruby<<< CANCEL
_ Offer - 1000000 - 5 Battleship -
_ Offer - 540000 - 4 Rubies - BUY button

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
_ ___ Resources - Amount - Unit Price - Total - SpeedUp
_ Bid - 8500 - 2 Rubies - SELL button
_ Bid - 15000 - 2 Rubies -
_ Bid - 50000 - 1 Rubies -
_ Bid - 8500 - 1 Rubies -
___________________________________________________________________________________

In the first box above where it says Resources - Amount - Unit Price - Traded - Cancel, this is where a seller would see their offers and be allowed to cancel what they have listed in the market. It's different then what is actually displayed to the left of the sellers list since the list to the left is showing a small portion of what is for sale in the market by others.

The buyers would only see the listing of offers as you see the box above.
There would be a way to speed up the transfer to the buyer if the buyer wanted to get the purchase faster they could spend a ruby or two to have it reach the player instantly.

The bottom box shows bids and this is where players could post what they are wanting to buy and at what price they are willing to pay to buy the item they need. This is nice since anyone can also see what others want and anyone can fill a bid order and sell the item to the person at the price the bidder has established.

This example shows Crystals that other players are offering for sale with the best price of 4 rubies being made available to a buyer. Once the 5400 order is filled the next available offer of 10000 crystals is made available for players. At anytime anyone can offer/sell. The market is purely driven by price, as well as supply and demand. Not only could we trade material but we could also trade or sell Rubies through the market by offering them up for sale as well. Of course these Rubies would trade at below game ratios set by Serios, but the nice thing is, eventually rubies would be used and would become rare in the market causing people to buy more, hence put money in the pockets of Serios. Sure some might simply speculate a resource. Buy low, sell high, but there's nothing wrong with this. In fact, I see that it ads a whole new dimension to the game and people would come to this game more to simply play the market and maybe not build planets. What do you think?

These are just examples to show how diverse the trade area could be. I really believe it would generate sales to help support Serios, and the game we love.
Nothing is as Serios as you make it
