Whyyyy is there no auction house?

I don't see a problem with shops, but the player needs to be online in order to keep item prices somewhat stable across the server.

MY AGES OLD IDEA

A third stash box added where you throw sellables into and list their prices.

buyers can then search for your stuff using the notice board in every town.

The buyer can then join the instance where your stash is located (from that same board).

buyers can then access the stash, view the items and sort through until they find what they were looking for much like a vendor.

Price is set to whatever the player chose on the listing.



This will stop bots, increase player wealth and make the general population happier!

Sounds good.

I have read most of the posts and still didn't understand much the difference between an auction house and the current system witch is poe.trade (legitimately, I'm not being ironic here). I'm willing someone would clarify that.

Putting aside how it would work, just the fact of having a trading system in-game, instead of a third party one, would be much more convenient. There are many possibilities of how it would work, and if ggg would show interest, I'm sure their designers alongside with the community would find a good solution.

Also, there is much discussion about promoting player interaction. Despite of the debate about if this is important or not, if it is, I thought of one possible solution, which is not offering the possibility to put prices on items, you just see the item but you don't know what the seller wants for it. So it would force negotiation.
