I would like to see a section of town or maybe a new area with Stalls or shops that players can rent for a few silver coins per day (2-10). The stalls could work with a showcase. The showcase could be modeled on the Back Pack. You can deposit items here for sale. A small showcase would be like a bucket with 9 squares for like 2 coppers per day. A medium showcase would be like a sack for 5 coppers per day. A large showcase would be like a backpack for 20 coppers per day. Amounts are up for debate.
You would drop your items in each showcase that you rent, and arrange them as you wish. You could set the price on each item, so that if another player is looking through your showcase and you are not online, if they wish to buy, they simply accept and the transaction is done.
Stalls could also have signs as well, maybe for an extra copper coin a day or something like that. Currently shops have signs out front to distinguish them, that should be easy enough to implement.
The idea is to get a marketplace where players can actually participate with actions instead of just throwing stuff in an online auction house and letting it run by itself.
To recap: You would rent a shop, and showcases to display your items for sale. The rent would have to come from your gold deposited at the Bank. No funds would mean you lose your shop and items after a certain time, say 24 hours or so.
