Seems like a lot of work for little/no gain.

you could say that about the whole fansite.

I don't know, I'd say Habbox has a lot of benefits atm. Maybe its not doing brilliant in a whole but all in all I think its a pretty decent site

Brilliant retort.

He has a point though. Habbox receives support and (sometimes) donations from its members to keep the community alive, I don't see what they get in return for this particular service, or frankly who would even use it when the marketplace is so accessible.

Well as I got the idea from members of the community spamming my inbox trying to buy stuff (seemingly without success considering they kept doing it), there is a market out there. It's not going to be the first resort because if you manage to find it yourself it's obviously not needed but if, after a while you're still struggling, an extra pair of eyes looking when you've been looking yourself for a while doesn't hurt. It's just a small service that Habbox will provide for the community.

"sell it to you no more no less" what if you buy it for less than the offer... do you keep the credits?

[Inseriousity.]

That's the incentive given to the RVRs (that they get to keep the profit they make) but that's really like any normal trader and as the user sets the price, they can set it at exactly the market value and the RVRs will have to do it out of kindness.

As much as I do actually see a good market for using this, not sure if this will attract new members personally though I'm sure existing members will probably be attracted to it if they build a lot!

the problem I see is that if someone buys all the stuff beforehand at same price/cheaper would they be able to state that they done this as that is probably what will happen with the use alongside searching, and this obviously causes problems if the rvr has already now bought the furni. Considering this could possibly be quite common!

We don't waste any time or resources really. If no one uses it, the only effort put in was making the thread. The work is really minimal as all we do is look for the furni and trade with you if we can find it.

That is always going to be a problem but communication is key, as soon as the RV staff finds the furni, they will notify the user via IM or PM and we hope the user does the same for us if they find it. If the other party is told that the request is no longer needed then there's no loss.
