Lets say for example, everyone was given the ability to sell their items on a global storefront for a minimum and maximum amount of tokens. And other players can buy from each other on this global storefront.
If RecRoom is already offering this item (to keep RecRoom from losing revenue from it’s already available in-game purchases) they would have a minimum set price that is close to what RecRoom already offers it for. To balance this kind of “trading” RecRoom can take 50% of the sale for example.
To make this theoretical storefront useful, it could automatically fulfill orders from players who are just buying a regular rootbeer item from the storefront (since they are the same price.)
But what about RARE or VALUABLE items…? If items are already available to by from RecRoom themselves, nobody would buy any overpriced items. But consider currently unavailable items? Or limited time/limited stock items? There was a time when RecRoom tested that limited stock item idea with some notes headphones I think? Those could appear valuable to some, and there would be some demand.
With the new avatar studio coming out sometime next year, if creators have an option to make limited time items, this storefront would see some usage.
I can imagine being compelled to purchase slightly overpriced limited time items or SKINS, while they are not available if there is a seller.
I can imagine there can be lots of issues with this, but it’s just an idea. Hope it sticks!
