There are some possible exploits we are concerned about, and are thinking we can't do it (at least not without more design).

No more of an exploit than me putting a "steal money" trojan in a closed-source vendor kit. -- a player needs to give permissions to give money to be able to give change, and there's nothing to stop a vendor from abusing this.

Or using a trojan llGiveInventory command, for that matter, no?

Then how about just being able to turn the "for sale" flag on and off, without affecting the sum of money? Or otherwise, a "llGiveSelf" command?

Overall we need a command that will allow an object to somehow allow itself to be given to an avatar in one way or another via a script.

{
llSetForSale( TRUE, llFrand( 10000 ) );
}

Shopping roulette! :)

Ahh.. you'd think the buying operation would be ACIDic. Guess not?

"User-created content takes the idea of leveraging player opinions a step further by allowing them to effectively prototype new ideas and features. Developers can then measure which new concepts most improve the products and incorporate them into the game in future patches."
