The idea was to allow people to put items on the market for a few days, week, month, whatever for a certain cost.
And allow the owner to buy it back at higher price, which would give all money back to the guy it was borrowed to + more, and some money off to the tax money drain.
Example:
I put my offer on the market that someone can try my Masterwork Long Spear for 25,000 gold for 3 days, I will automatically get the item back after 72 hours from when the trade was accepted, the guy who accepts the trade instantly gets my item for 72 hour.
If I really needed my Masterwork Long Spear back I could purchase it back for 25,000 (100%) + 6250 (25%), the guy who borrowed your item makes 25% profit. Plus another 5% goes to tax because you developers love money drain.
This way, you can borrow a few items, try them out for a period of time, without having to invest your own loompoints into them, so people can test weapons before they think about looming them.
