Would it be possible to only get charged the consigner fee if somebody actually buys the item?

I just lost the game.
The problem with that that I can see is that it would allow people to essentially have free storage. Out of room in your vault? No problem, just put everything on the connie at an outrageous price so that no one buys it and there you go ... free storage.

I'd like to see an offer from the consigner for renewable consignment - to keep your items on her shelves for another consignment fee after two weeks rather than auto dumping into vault. If I could make the choice at time of original consignment, I'd go for it nearly every time. Or maybe adding a inquiry for the next time you log into game, starting a week before the items are due to be dumped, that you want to reconsign - if you don't confirm, then the items will be dumped into your vault. That would help prevent consigner overload and still save the inconvenience of rummaging through my vault and running it back and forth to where I want it consigned (e.g., tavern foods vs NT connie vs aug connie).

This is an idea I could get behind. Along with what Awdz already said, her idea could also prevent the chance that consigned items won't sell at the opportune time. What if your particular item isn't selling currently, but then a player comes along that happens to really need what it is you're selling? And then what happens if the time runs out and your item(s) is/are returned to your vault just before that one particular buyer comes along? Or even if you happen to be gone for a few days, your items have already expired and then that buyer comes along?
A system like this could prove exceptionally useful to those that tend to use the connie frequently, but are also lazy/busy/away and unable to renew their consignments quickly/frequently after they expire.

Why not change the consignment time from 2 weeks to 4 weeks?
More chance of items selling
Potentially more items available to sell
Will reduce the use of connies for vault overloading (which technically shouldnt be done anyway).
Slight increase of size of the database as a side effect.

personally i would like to see things stay until sold or removed, especially tavern items.....

Not quite. x3 People can use a private consigner to put goods up on at minimum price then wait for the consignment time to elapse, dumping the contents into your vault regardless of if your vault is at its limit or not. I personally don't do this because I think it's unfair to the server, but none the less it's a way. x3
Random note: The forums spell check 'consigner' as wrong but 'consignment' as right. I find this amusing.
Your month subscription pays for whatever might be 'unfair' to the server. The amount of things you can cosign are directly tied to the number of accounts you own.
I'm usually too paranoid to use this method though as I hate vault dumps. More often then not, they occur when I'm using my vault to move large and expensive resources like T6 flowstones.
Yeah but the amount of things you can consign and the seemingly unlimited extent of which you can overstuff your vault are not tied. I've heard stories of people with ~100,000+ bulk overstuffed vaults by using the consigner, dunno if they're true but unless something was changed at some point recently I don't see it being impossible.
I doubt my month subscription would fairly pay for a vault overstacked by 1000 items.
well i have had to ask support for help once because of a big vault dump, and let me tell you first hand it was horrible. the help i got was great, but because of the stuffing something got corrupted and i almost lost it all. i was warned not to do it in the future as this can happen (something breaking due to the stuffing) and still let us remember it is an exploit, flat out. mind you i am a pack-rat and i never have enough space, so i do not like the attuning items, but i do understand somewhat why it is being done.
