Okaaaaaaaay. So I know there's been a lot of suggestions about trainer trading, like an announcement board and such, but I think having a separate thread for trading would be a good idea. Obviously in Verona, because Verona is the center of the world of Cheyenne, I was thinking a sort of marketplace? A "Verona Market" specially for trainers. Each trainer can make their own thread as their "shop", and in the first post they can display all the Pokemon/items/whatever up for trade or sale. Then other users can just post on their thread IC and work out a deal.
E.g: Thread Name: Quinn's Shop! First post: Meowth, Sunkern, Pidgey x 2 up on display. Someone posts: John Smith walked into Quinn's shop. Seeing the Pidgey, he laid a wad of cash on the table. "2,000 for the Pidgey?"
And so on, and so on. So yeah. I'm sure some other sites have things like these, and they really work. Essentially, it's just a board where people have their own threads displaying what they've got for trade or sale, then people just post if they want them. If payment for the "shops" were to occur, there could be some sort of "starting up fee" for creating a shop or a monthly rent, maybe.
Feel free to commend/add to/shoot down this idea! c:

-licks Neb- I made a board with this same suggestion not long ago. XD
lulz, nevermind. I didn't bring it up, but it was mentioned in my "Members Sales" thread. The admins are a bit dodgy on the idea, since it can be abused and would be hard to watch over. Though I like the idea.

I wouldn't mind shifting the money about and such so long as there was a separate thread for each "shop" and no OOC only posts/spam. But really if you wanna sell your Pokémon that badly, better to make a one time shop or just a thread requesting trades/selling.

Ahhh Spade. :') I suppose a bit of cheating might go on, but if the money can only be transferred via Admin or Global Mods it shouldn't be easy to cheat? And I do mean one-time shops, Talis. So there wouldn't be seperate threads whenever someone felt like selling stuff, no. They get one thread and one thread only. x')

I don't understand what's wrong with it. Is there anyway to exclude it from the money giving per post? Because from what I've read above it seems ye are more worried about the spam. :/

I think what talis means is that there isn't just a bunch of ooc auctions going on instead of a properly set up shop, one for each character or something.
In other words it would have to be decently neat so that we can all understand what's going on, instead of a c-box like thread for selling pokemon.

As long as it was organized, I'd love this idea, too xD It's much easier than spamming the c-box with "HEY WANNA BUY MAI POKEMANZ?" and the like. xD

FINAL VERDICT
Maybe you haven't seen it, but we now have a new Verona Trainer's Lounge, with a section that can be used for marketplace trades and the message board idea. You can post the things you are looking for/want in that section, or even set up a booth for the pokemon you are trading. Thank you for contributing <3
However, a member suggested something similar first, so no point for you.
