Scam prevention for vends

My friend just got scammed 16k because he thought he was buying a teddy bear head for 16k, but instead, some fool put in tomato seeds, and he got scammed. This is why I'd like to make a suggestion: when you're buying an item worth a certain amount of cubits, put a 5-second confirmation, and make the player wait 5 seconds before buying. Maybe the more expensive it is, the more you have to wait. Although he could have prevented this by not being in a rush, I mean, come on.

Skull, they glass the seeds and then put the lure item above it in glass and cover it in scaffold. Which is another big sign that yells scam. Why would a legit person cover their vend in scaffold or some other block? It's obvious but they ignore the signs that it's a scam for the chance to get a deal. Scammers count on greed and the excitement of a deal.
If I’m buying a fully stocked vend with 20 stacks of dirt, I’m not waiting 5 minutes. All it takes is reading the vend. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
