SERIAL NUMBER VALUE Now, I have a number 1337 Dark Wolf. There are PLENTY of 1337 item collectors who would like this, but also don't want dumb trade requests. They want to share value with their hat. I'm sick of having to leave a trade empty handed because I can't trade. Why? Because every other Dark Wolf doesn't share mine's value. I think you should make value with the following numbers -Last number of a hat (2000/2000) -#'s 1-10 -#1337 -User's choice (See below for meaning) Allow me to explain user's choice. You see, some users collect items that have numbers from their name in it. Let's say my name is Pieguardian255. I might collect items with the serial number 255. However, I don't want stupid trade requests coming in with various numbers So someone sends me a trade of a new hat that isn't selling well. However, it is a serial number 255, so the trade gets sent to me anyway. COMMENTS/HIGHLIGHT SERIAL NUMBER This one won't take long to explain. I think we should be able to put a message in with our trade request, should the user permit messages already. Say I have a rare serial number hat. Now, I'd like to point out that you have to scroll over the trade to see the serial number. Some people might just say "Ew. That hat?" and go right by it. However, they might smack themselves for declining the trade if they see it is the first one of that hat. So, what I suggest is being able to write a *SHORT* description of your hats. "This one has a really rare serial number of..." Or whatever you want to write about the hats. If you don't want to apply this update, please at least make the serial number more noticeable. BAN USER FROM TRADING WITH YOU I can see it happening that a really desperate user will want to get one of your hats even after you decline their trade. You should have a list in account settings. "Will not trade with..." then you enter names of those you don't want to trade with. DUPLICATE ITEMS Some users might hate themselves if they found out someone with a #1337 item of something they owned wanted to trade with them, but since it was a duplicate item they couldn't. What I am suggesting is not easy to explain. A scenario will be easier to show you what I mean. Pieguardian sent a trade request to Andmeister for his Biggerhead. In return, Andmeister will receive a #1 Dark Wolf. Andmeister already has a Dark Wolf, so when the trade is sent, it comes with an option to put up his current Dark Wolf for sale at the AVERAGE price. The price will either go up or go down depending on how the item is doing. It will technically still be Andmeister's Dark Wolf, but he will not be able to use it anymore unless he deletes his #1337 Dark Wolf, or trades it, or sells it. (If you need me to answer questions about this one, I will.) I might add more suggestions on a future thread. For now though, how are these suggestions. What do you like or dislike? What would you change? I'm open to all opinions.

Being NBC, I have no input on this idea. Bring this to LMaD

@Aleezy, Okay. Still. They'll all say "BLAH BLAH BLAH. GO TO S&I." Technically, this IS the right forum. I'll give them a link to this thread though. Thanks for the suggestion.

You should be able to put a trade out on the system sort of like trade currency. Put out a trade, and someone who accepts the complete trade finishes it, done deal. Someone can counter offer and such like you can now, but it would make for a cleaner system if you could make a trade public and allow people to browse trades on a page and accept if they're interested
