Many people suggested the same thing. I did the same but instead like similar to a Sandbox. You would have you and the trader. Once everything's settled on the exchanges, and each person carefully makes sure the item is right with the correct characteristics, each person would select a Ready button and will be given a delay timer if either of them decides not to trade for any reason. Once the timer is up, they items is immediately sent to the recipient, and most likely both would receive it at the same time.

The security of this method is once again like a Sandbox: The trading environment is enclosed like a Sandbox, not modifying anything before, during, and after the trading procedures. That includes changing your item if the trader decides not to have it but willing to trade with your other desirable items.

The process can also be done with multiple traders as well, maybe up to 6 people in one Sandbox. And once all trading and exchanging is successfully finished, the Sandbox will close, vanishing forever, for protective reasons.
 
It would make things easier, but frankly speaking, if one just backs up their save game to a USB flash drive before sending their car/ticket, then retores the save game after sending, they will never lose any car while trading. ;)

The only thing one can lose nowadays is a "trade day", if the other person doesn't send their end of the trade.

The other thing is that PD did not have trading in mind when they created the Gifting system.

We just took it to a whole other level. :lol:
 
This would be great I suppose but there is far more urgent things needed first IMO. Challenging AI, Livery editor, Tire pressure options, Ability to select weather and time in practice mode, etc.

This could be the prime reason why they haven't implemented said system yet.

While this is a good idea and would be nice to have it added, people have to realize that PD never meant it to be used for trading but rather for GIFTING a car to a friend. Although, it makes me wonder how they couldn't have seen this as a use for trading? Or have they? Who knows? lol
 
I'd like to be able to go into a buddy's profile and where it currently says gift, also have a trade option. You offer an item or car to trade with your buddy along with a message ("GIV MI X2010 PLZ") and if your buddy accepts, he places a car or item into the trade and you both have to press confirm before it goes through.
 
I was thinking something like the forza 3 auction house where people post up their available cars for trade , then you make said person a offer and if he/she accepts both players submit their cars and the vehicles are sent.
 
If they had a trade system like pokémon it would be perfect. It prevents duplicators and ensures safe trading.

Simple
Start trade with friend.
Epic car trading music starts.
Cool little animation of car being driven away.
Cars meet in the middle.
Then you see your new car drive towered you.
Engine starts.
Epic congrats car traded music plays
Game forces save to prevent duping.

Done.
 
^This would work, but I like being able to give people cars and keep one for myself.

So, hopefully, this part of the game will never be changed. ;)
 
Better idea: Make a trade feature on online lobbys and private lounge's

Let both sides put in a car (or let just one side have input) and it's easy as that!

Now that you put it like that, it makes more sense now.

It's be pretty cool to have a sort of "pink slip" mode too, where you enter a pinks race with 1 or 2 other people and whoever comes last loses their car immediately. If someone rams or takes a shortcut, they get sent back to the very start of the race. If someone turns off their ps3/psn while they're racing, they lose unless the ps3 is still turned on, in which case they get a small penalty instead (money lost, parts lost, cars become worn out, etc)

If there's a error code involved then there's no penalty.
