Official Community Vends

After the Community Shop closed, it's been harder to sell things for me, and to buy items also. I suggest that there's an official realm created that's coded differently than other realms. For instance, it would have a max of 1 plot per player in teh realm, and you are able to set the prices of your own vends on it. The layout would be a whole lot of 1x5 plots packed into one realm like the community shop, but idk if they should cost cubits or just be forever/week plots and maybe be monitered by moderators every now and then, just not set by them. This would save a lot of cubits on hollas if it was always on the official events list, and if everyone knew about it, then hopefully it would stay alive like pens.
-This is just a suggestion, if the devs an mods don't want to go to this work, then it's fine with me, since this suggestion is mostly to make it easier to sell things for the players but not necessarily for the devs and mods.
-Mostly just an easier version of the original Community Shop

Still would love to have a centralized 'bulletin board' of sorts of all the items in vends in the game no matter where they are located, and if you wanted to buy something off the board, it would teleport you to the vend location to purchase it. That way, all shops in the game would be visited regularly by other players. I've seen market places in other games, but they just allow players to post items for sale which get purchased without having people visit their realms/shops. I think adding a visit option would allow players to still build shops and keep with the spirit of the game since it would ensure traffic to those locations (and players can then look at the other items in the shop for sale too).
I did the math one day....
96 perma plots = 480 vends
24 weekly plots = 168 vends

I really hope @SirKewberth will respond and let us know if this might be possible in the near future. Everyone wants it so it would be a great change to make.
It's really not that easy. I have trusted friends but most plot owners trusted that shop because only three mods had perm in there. If they don't know my trusted friend well then they won't be comfortable putting their items in there to sell. Plus there is always the risk of a vend being set incorrectly. With me being the only one setting them, I could use extra caution and know if something was set wrong it was my error. From the time the shop opened in Nov 2018 there was only one vend that was set incorrectly (fortunately the buyer was a friend and sold it back at cost). That accuracy means additional confidence in the shop when placing items worth 50k-100k in a vend. Trust is one of the key things that made that shop successful.
If you want to visit my Realm it's Godrax's Community Market and I'm selling Permanent Plots for 1k.
