character bazaar idea

not sure if I am posting int he right place but here goes .

I think the character bazaar area off the web site could do with a little improvement , for example a nice web interface where you can easily list and search for a pilot to buy , could have advanced tabs where you can select , pilot type minmitar amarr and such also a tab or slider for SP limits and maybe even a budget slider .

that way if I wanted to search for all caldari pilots within my budget and SP range that I am looking for it would be easy to single them out , after a character is then transferred the post will then just be auto deleted or marked as sold .

creating a listing can use some API info , for example I create a listing to sell myself , before I can post it checks to make sure I am in a NPC corp in high sec and for a positive wallet status , after this it will ask for type of sale , auction , sale or trade , followed by how much your looking for , the created post will then have all the information sumerised inside it for example will show character base details in the post along with price ect and at the bottom of the page little tabs for armour drone and such which you can expand to see the skill listings or such .

on the bazaar start page when I want to look for something to buy I can simply enter the details for what I am looking for and hit search that will then filer all the listed options according to my search needs .

think the best way to do something like this would be with a embedded web application that works along side API keys for easy posting and such or even a PHP site for character bazaar stuff , though it will need a bit off scripting to get it working .

something similar can be made for the sell orders and other things on the market area off the website for easy navigation and finding items .

just thought it might be something handy as using the advanced search get a bit meh when old posts are not marked as sold or even as current posts do not have all the info you need .

sorry just a random thought that poped up :) spelling sucks yes I know

Agree that current char bazar forum section require some improvements.
