Options/Futures markets and liquidity in p99

[koros]

I work at a trading firm in real life, and it's a slow day today, so I got to thinking about options/future markets and how/if they would work on p99. At the very least it might make for an interesting thread.

Obviously, in real life contracts have a lot more legal binding then they do on the internet. Someone on p99 could sell you a fbss future and then disappear without ever delivering. But when the financial markets first came into being, they operated very similarly to how things are here. People established reputations for trustworthiness, and just as Hagglebaron and Bob and whoever is the current market maker, became trusted for item/char transfers - people could become part of it as they established their reputation.

Currently people who sit in EC all day can make an absolute killing arbitraging bid/offer spreads. A future or option market or even some sort of bid/offer forum would go a long way towards people who looted an item and then selling it making more, and people who want to equip an item paying less by lowering middle man involvement.

Anyway, probably not going to happen, but what do you guys think?
