So after deliberating CCP's recent stance of basically trying to find new ways of selling Aurum to continue thriving this game, I'm really surprised that after all this time we still haven't gotten a player market.
IMO one of the best and least invasive ways CCP could potentially unlock a huge stream of cash that would simultaneously be beneficial to everyone is creating a player market that would allow sell orders of Aurum items like boosters and such.
Think about it, there's a select number of players (including myself) with way too much ISK. I have somewhere in the range of 400m ISK and I know several players and high-tier corps that dwarf that. Conversely, you have ISK strapped players that don't mind spending a few bucks on the game. If you allows poorer players to buy boosters for Aurum and sell them through a market, it would effectively be a win-win situation for just about everyone. I sure as hell wouldn't mind throwing down 50m ISK for a 30 day booster or whatever, and I'm absolutely sure there'd be many more.
At the same time, the entire system would not seem so much like a desperate cashgrab like the Warbarge is. A dynamic market that players could control through competition that simultaneously provides CCP with revenue. Poor players could make legal ISK via cash, rich players get boosters for in game currency, and CCP makes money off the whole thing.

Should be. Many of those players quit the game. In any regard, people would only pay what they want. If you could create sell orders and a market to view them, players could pay whatever price is there, or wait till someone undercuts them. The prices would shift based on supply and demand, and players will only pay whatever they think is fair.
