Auction idea....

Alright, I know this is a kinda pathetic mmorpg, but I was playing SuneRcape a bit after stopping for a year or so and in that time they've sent up a new thing called the "Grand exchange". It's kind of similar to EU's auction, but instead of seeing everyone's listing, bid, etc it is completely anonymous. People submit their item with the price they're looking for, and others submit the equivalent of an EU order.
I know this probably wouldn't work perfectly for EU, but i think it would stop a lot of the resellers manipulating the market. Resellers wouldn't be able to do it without the chance of taking a huge loss on their part.

Any thoughts, criticisms, or flames ?
- Chris

Just click the button with orders in auction, guess thats a part of what you want, and anonymous bidding/selling would be a big favour for the resellers

After all seeing the names of the bidder who loses is a chance to track him down and sell him your weapon instead.

Example: You see some people making a bidwar on some FreanD Delta. Your planning to sell your own Delta as well so when the auc is over you can contact the losing person via EF or how ever and offer him your gun...

And you can see who the real reselling bitches are. Theres one guy who drives me insane all over, everytime I think I can get a beacon or whatever for a good price he crosses my plan and raises the price to some rather bad level, even tho he doesnt even want that dang item! I will never buy anything from that guy!
