    hi ecc what I'm suggesting here is adding ability to create for users with extcommands+
    to make a repair sign.

    I know essentials has repair signs but there basically hand|all and nothing more just right click your item is repaired.

    My suggestion is basicly a new sign KHobbits may be able to make or not I don't now but if possible maybe Andrewkm will allow this as a added boost to economy.

    the way this would work is
    [prepair]
    cost in ecc $
    hand or all

    when a user clicks this it would take money from them and store that money in sign just like a trade sign dose. :) the player who made sign then can right click take money from it.

    Reason I'm suggesting this is that sometime you may want to sell unlimited repairs / have a spawn shop or shop in some ones town.
    You could put a sign up and never have to worry about being interrupted during a HG or Mining or PvP.
    Then collect money when ever you seem fit.
    This would also work well for players who own big farms and rent them out there could be a sign setup that they can just click and continue farming. saving time getting a tp or finding someone online at the time.

    let me know what you think rate and comment below.

    I suggested this a long, long time ago and Andrew shot it down himself. So I don't feel this idea would go much further now. I'm not opposed to the idea, just saying that not to get your hopes up on this one. Link to my old post.

    problem i see with is is the price of E-repairs would drop even lower than they are due to fact nothing is needed to be done by the person with the donation other than collect money when they bored
    E-repairs already need to go up in price due to fact its a $100 donation like investigator but you get 1k for that not 200-300 for e-repairs

    Eh, i don't like it. Andrew made a good point last time, and it's still a good point this time.

    all it takes is one person to put up a sign for a penny in their spawn shop and e-repairs become impossible to sell. And someone would do it.

    A great idea! There should be a public repair sign on the spawn!
    it will charge more than 500$

    i like that a public repair sign at 1k would be perfect then it would balance out the price by players to half that
    which it should be.

    this takes all the fun out of the repairs industry, the awkward tossing off tools back and forth, besides there are those people who give their services away for free *shudder*, I can see the price drop to below $1 a repair due to them if this were implemented (Not a good thing in my eyes).
    Besides I get to meet lots of people while doing this and interact with the wider community whilst doing this honed ecc ritual. While capitalising off of them of course.

    Lol ^ I agree and normally once I'm in a area to do a repair I normally end up with a bunch of other buisness
    And trade signs would really kill market.. As it is price need to raise to like 400-500.. People forget its a $100 donation like investigator but investigator gets 1k each

    well to be fair on that, you do tend to get a lot more repairs coming your way than requests for investigators. That and it has a lot more practical and personal use than investigator. I charge $1000 for anvil combos and a player might want a half-dozen tools to be repaired, two often occurring scenarios that can rake you in the big bucks while investigators have less business. Also you do get that little tool box of commands that are nice to have, I wuv my powertool. But then I do forget the things in the investigator's arsenal.

    WAIT a moment here! you mean with the extra commands donation you can create a sign that you can left/right click then it will repair any enchanted item in your hand/all?

    Also, this is sort of non relating, but there is lots of mentioning of signs in this thread, can somebody tell me what you put on the four layers of the sign to sell and to buy items with a sign. I'm SOOO confused on how you can use the signs, Thanks a lot!

    I see a problem with this, say someone wants to quit, so they put hundreds of FREE/ $.01 e-repairs :/


    Neutral :p good, but bad if they charge low
