I think it would be nice to have an alliance market. Having a seperate market that has any and all alliance assets listed in that station/region. This way it would be easier to establish an internal economy, selling good and materials to alliance members keeping the profits inside the alliance. This could be done as a filter tool or as a seperate thing. One could say that alliance contract accomplishes this, but it is inconvienient and hard to do successfully.

Tl:DR/bad grammar: Make a filter for the market that segregates alliance assets for sale from others.

The only use for this would be in null sec, and in there, they can use the market from their outposts, so its of no use to them. If you really want to sell or buy stuff from your alliance, in high sec or low sec, you can use corp and alliance contracts for that.

Why not just set it so that only the alliance can dock in the station where you're selling everything? Then you effectively have an alliance-only market already.

Yeah you can do that, but your opponents stuff is still on the market and when you buy crap you do not want to buy his stuff. Why give the enemy money when your alliance has the stuff you need and you want to support your own alliance easily. Also, this would be nice in highsec as well as for corps who want to determine who they buy from. They could have a standing filter as well as the alliance/corp filter. It would be like it is contracts, but for the market with the same filter power.

The idea is to keep your money from going to your opponent, and as easy as it is to get a station, its not. This idea came to me when I was thinking about selling assets that I had in a station before it was taken over. Now that I have no access to my stuff there, I figured on how anonomous markets is something that needs to be fixed in null for true market PVP.

IRL you know where your stuff is made when you buy because it has a label/imprint on it. Should be true in Eve as well.

Also, I prefer to never give my opponent my money unless he kills me and takes my loot.
