Reverse Vending machines

It is similar to vending machines, but instead of selling items, you can buy them without having to actually be there.
How it would work:
You put an item in the machine, then set a price to how much you want to buy it. People can approach the machine and drop items into it like selling crops to the NPC in the farmer's Co-op.
The owner of the machine can put an amount of c into the machine, which will be given to whoever sells an item to it.
For stackable items, an option for a quantity will be available.
For example: If someone wanted to buy Stone, they could set the quantity of the machine to 100, and then the price to 25 cubits. Then they would add cubits to the machine. if the owner put 100 cubits into the machine, people can sell up to 400 stone to it.
If someone wanted to buy 1 wearable, a press hat for example, they would put a press hat into the machine, set the quantity to 1, the price to 4000c and put 4000c into the machine. Then people can approach the machine, put a press hat into it, and receive the 4000 cubits.
If people want to buy something that they don't already have, and that can't put it into the machine, there could be an option to search for an item, similar to searching for a realm.
I'm not 100% sure if this would be practical but I've wanted something like this in the game for a long time.
