Description

Again, great work on the trade site. I think it definitely has what it takes to appeal to the d2/d2r community, and to be the primary method of trading going forward.

After having a chance to test drive it, I figured I'd throw out some suggestions:

Table view
While it looks great, the current detailed view takes a lot of real estate and the compact view doesn't provide enough. I think it would be extremely helpful have a table view with quick sorting headers. The item image is less important once you know what most items are. Being able to see more items in the list at once will make searching much easier.

Set a quantity to the trade
If you have say 40
Ral
runes or PGems, you could just note that in the description, but if someone is looking to buy a whole bunch it would be easier if they could search for the item and sort by quantity available to buy (or at least have a consistent spot to look for it should if not be sortable).

Set a quantity for what an item was sold for
If you buy something for a bunch of PGems or runes, no one is going to want to fill out dozens of form fields over and over again. It would be nice to just do it once per item, and then update the count from 1 to whatever it is. Or as a more immediate and simple solution, have a button that duplicate a field below it. So you just type out each specific item traded and click to duplicate it the number of times to match how many were traded. I think without this the only items people with bother to say what they sold it for a ones worth 1-2 hr for.

Button to duplicate a trade post
A button that creates a new trade listing from an existing one. If you either have multiple items to sell or have another of one you have sold in the past, it would speed things up to autofill from an existing post. Maybe two, a "Duplicate and edit", and "Duplicate and save", so you can use an existing item as a template to edit, or just directly duplicate it. It's not uncommon for people to save up items to trade all at once, which individually is quick.

Add some additional auto complete items that aren't items per se
I know it isn't required to enter an item that is an exact match to one in the database, but have some additional "items" to have a consistent, searchable name would be helpful I think.
Things like "Assorted Chipped Gems", "Assorted PGems", "Assorted Low Runes", "
Key
Set", "Bulk Unid Rare Rings", "Bulk Unid Rare Ammy" (along with bulk Jewels/SC/LC/GC). There are some things that are commonly traded that aren't a specific item (nor something that makes sense to show in an item database, which I'm sure if what is driving the autocomplete).

Search based on item attribute
I'm sure it's on your radar already, but searching based on item attribute. At least for trades where the name matches an item in the database for you to associate in the search query

Add some additional inputs
Things like:
- Identified/Unidentified
- Normal/Eth (I know someone suggested this already)
- Total sockets
- Open sockets
- Personalized
- Perfect roll
These are all things that people could just to the description, but there is something to be said for having a consistent location to find it. Also they could be something you could later add filtering support for.

Some way to sell services
People sell rushes, grushes, socket quest uses, etc. Not really an item, so I imagine it would need to be segregated somehow. Could be handled ad hoc in it's own forum, but would be cool to include that into the trade system so it can take advantage of price checks
