We have everything we need to trade without the need to meet up. Advanced locked doors with shop stands inside, a sign for names, and a temporary guild to fool the lock. Requests open to anyone that doesn’t fill their guild membership slots.

Yeap like the idea.
Maybe its for somebody but not for me.
I personally have hard time to trust people… you dont example say who has access to there… is there some sort of "insurance"that covers the losses if those items from shop stand magically dissapear. I put 200 refined rift in there… magically they vanish over night. No one knows a thing… whos fault is that? Whos gonna pay me my rifts back?
Not sure what you mean. The merch is behind locked doors, and only gets put there per request. Then the lock is programmed for that player only.
I am a little confused how this works.

Well you couldve said that in your post ?
I was pretty confused how this works.
As i said you didnt said who has access to what and how. Basically you couldve just walk us through how this works to avoid this hassle
I didn’t mean to confuse anyone.
Each locker contains shop stands and is locked by an advanced lock. Someone needs something, they sign up for the guild, which allows me to give them access to the lock. Whatever they wanted is placed inside a locker at the agreed price, and their name posted on a sign above it.
It may seem a bit tedious, but it ensures that the person who did the requesting is the only one allowed to buy from the shop stand. It also means the players don’t have to meet in game to trade.
I do apologise, I thought this would just make sense considering the pic and ingredients.

I am sorry, but I have been out of the house for 18 hours today with no sleep yet, and maybe that is why, But I am still slightly confused.
To me this looks like an solution to be able to sell/buy from an select person with out anyone else getting to it, but how doses it work to trade? Since Trading is typically Item(s) for Item(s)
I am just not getting it at this time.
You can see what it does 
how do they access the shop stands? does the lock affect them too?
I assume the lock only affects the door.
If they cant access the shop stands how to they put stuff in them to then trade with?

You know what, guys, try it out. Put the pieces together and maybe some light bulbs will light up for you. My setup works wonderfully. I had one problem, and that was that the sign above the doors became locked, it was really troubling, but after many nights of tortured sleep I finally figured it out. Yep, I moved the lock one spot over so it didn’t affect the sign. I even had the artist’s eye to move another lock over, just for a little symmetry. Now, putting the lights in behind the actual shop stands, I thought, was a stroke of genius, or is it genious? Well, I digress. So, believe it or not, it took me awhile to figure out how to get around those advanced locks. I just figured I’d see if any of my guild buddies would want anything. Not so much. So I thought, hey, guilds (!). I could just make up a guild, and people can join it, so I could give thems access to a door or two. Then I had this even crazier idea to share the concept with others. Oh, I seem to have lost where I was going with this. Well, keep putting up these comments, they’re super helpful, and in time, I’m sure we can all understand the basics of this very complex system.
We are just asking relevant questions. If you dont have time or not willing to answer guess what many people wont show up.
Seems you just are “how stupid these guys are” mode so either explain your system better than “you put that there and it makes 10k donkeys” or answer questions

I did answer the questions. What did I miss? You gotta know I’m going to think people are trolling me when their questions are focused on minute details of my wording, rather than the logic of the game we’re talking about. If it can’t work in the game, please assume I made a mistake in my wording. My thoughts don’t always sync perfectly to my words because the thoughts take precedence.

What i meant was you could do a step by step how to use it.
And clearly state who has access to what
I think the advanced locks also work if you place them directly on the stands. I have seen stands locked in this manner in the Golden Fist shop.

I still find this to be clarification enough.

I get it 
Advanced locks are a great way to expand how trades are made.
I’m doing the same thing and it works great!

I think this is very clever. Nicely inventive. Well done.
I understand what you are doing. I think the confusion is in the use of shopstands as the best available storage device. People may see shop stands and think sales.
I would assume that both parties have full access to the shopstands and can either leave items or coin in trade without actually purchasing from the stand.
Edit: corrected some wording.

These do look great I have to say…
When I was talking to James about releasing a contract system I brought up the need of a post box type solution to help deal with the delivery aspect. I could see a modified mailbox that allowed you to store a certain amount of items. I figured something was needed because of different time zones and how hard it is for players to meet up. I can see they understand the need but I’m just not sure if it would happen separately or along with a contract system, etc… Either way I did want to share that the need was directly communicated.
