All these trade shops

[Apophys]

A shiny hunting shop is opening just now, apparently:

Possible shop?

I’ve been thing about doing this for a little while and want to know how many people would use a shop like this: You ask me to hunt for a shiny that is available, though deltas might take a lot longer, paying with IV stones or other items, depending on rarity, I hunt for a day, and if I find it I trade it to you, but if I don’t I refund, say three quarters of what you paid, unless I find a different shiny, which I will offer instead. I’m curious on how many people would use this.

The main concern I have with that kind of thing is if the shop owner takes payment, does no work, and pretends to have hunted without finding anything.

Does the game time clock run while window is minimized? if not, that’s a good way to prove that he spent the time at least, which would help a little.

[Lesss]

well if you leave the game running the clock still continues so it’s not really a good idea.

also, if NO SHINYS from the safaris he is supposedly at show up after too many times, you can make him give the stones back.

escrow account maybe? I’m sure mods arent interested, but maybe someone holds the stones until he’s proved himself.

@cow538 do you mind if I steal your battling arena idea?

[Cow538]

No, actually my first two ideas became true so it would be amazing to see the third become real as well
