Travelling Merchants

Hello there folks. I've come to you today to suggest an idea of a travelling merchant. This idea may have already been suggested, and if it has I'll delete this thread, but I've had a brief flick-through and seen nothing which resembles this idea.

Now, to the actual idea. Having a merchant who arrives in towns every now and then selling lower-priced goods. These goods can range from cheaper illegal guns, to cheaper pickaxes. Lots of possibilities. I think they should sell 2 different things every time which are random from a list of items. Things like legal guns, illegal guns, ammo, potions, horses, pickaxes and any other items which can be suggested.

I feel like the price should be quite a lot lower than the base price to entice people to go and search the the travelling merchant. Maybe halving the price of something of that description. The exact amounts can be discussed.

The merchant should arrive every hour in a random town which in annouces in chat. It should be hidden in the town somewhere so there is some challenge in trying to find the good deals. The merchant should then remain there for a set amount of time (5 minutes, 10 minutes maybe) so there is a bit of urgency to get to said merchant.


There's a lot of variables which can be discussed in this thread. I really want to hear your opinions on this idea. Anything can be chopped and changed about the idea if you think it should be. This is just a base idea.

Thanks
