Not sure this is possible but here is a fun idea. Have a time limit on small items in the store. Say time is for a quarter. Item A is available q1 and then q2 comes around and then item A gets retired and item B comes into play.

Here is the auction house idea. If someone wants to purchase item A once it gets retired, they can post in the auction house that they want said item. Or if you want to sell item A, you can hold an auction for the item. Once a deal is made buyer pays, and sell "hands" over the item. Not sure if we can give estore items to other members though.

This a sleepy time idea, so if the idea needs some tweaking, tweak away.

It is a great idea. I should retire items. Then they may go up in value. They should have some attribute that helps you in some way though...then they would really have a value to someone.

Ok here is another idea for items to be retired. Say you have 50 total items to sell from the store. Time comes up and the item gets retired. Have a sliding scale of value gaining. 41-50 items sold would gain at say 1%, 31-40 at 2%, 21-30 at 3% 11-20 @ 4%, and 1-10 at 5%.

You can give items to other members...there is also a "Trade" option so you can trade items/e$ and it will not go through until both parties agree on the trade.

I like what you did with the limiting of the Asimo's you should do that more often with exotic items. That leads to free trade and free trade leads to PROFIT
