| − | * Client requests to sell an item or items for market price ("loot conversion")
| |
| − | * Client requests to purchase an item or items for the market rate plus the negotiated fee

| − | = Considerations, Risks, and Thoughts =
| |
| − | * The the number of GSCs that a staff broker can anchor will limit the number of simultaneous in-flight transactions. This means that there must be a limit on the amount of time that a client can claim an item from a can
| |
| − | * Passwords for cans will have to be shared among all staff brokers
| |
| − | * Passwords for cans will have to be shared with each client for the duration of an exchange transaction
| |
| − | * Broker staff can use spreadsheets to track requests; however, WHC can make requests via mail
| |
| − | * Clients can probably use well-known EVE market sites plus a fixed percentage to provide escrow ISK for goods. One issue will be the risk involved in seeking the low price vs the inconvenience of the current HS static
| |
| − | * Broker staff should have a fair amount of trade skills (Accounting, Broker Relations, standing increasing skills, etc)
