Traders to Buy Weapons and Other Previously Unwanted Goods

[PnzrNorm]

Whenever traders are functioning again, I would like to be able to sell weapons, armor, etc. from my shop counter (or other structures that can be made Public such as Weapon Racks, Armour Storage, etc.).

These are amongst the heaviest, and most expensive, items in the game currently, so I can see why the Traders' Guild wouldn't want them specifically, as they aren't exactly things that can turn a profit from one town to the next.
Perhaps with expanded factions in the future, there will be caravans/convoys from factions other than the Traders' Guild that will purchase these (and in the future, other, never before seen) things.
For example, Holy Nation supply convoy stops in your outpost for Rum, Arrows, Weapons, Armour, Food, and Water, whereas an Adventurers' Guild wanderer will stock up on First Aid kits and Secondary Weapons.

Not so sure about having them pick up the scrap/crap weapons you find off bandits and the like. But I can totally see them buying armor and weapons manufactured by the player faction.

I'm sure the Manufacturer parameter of the weapon/armor could be used similar to 'Tags' in Unity (if you're not familiar with coding, a 'Tag' in Unity is the same thing as a 'brand' of product in a store).
This would allow identification if a weapon or armour has your faction's 'Tag' or not.

I think it would be cool if the other factions could recognize that you could make better weapons then other factions and would go to you to put in orders of weapon types etc.. Then if you make the item you would gain relationship with that faction plus however much that item cost and if you didn't make it within a certain time or not good enough quality then you would lose relation with that faction. Also if they/you could pay with an item of the same or greater value (or multiple items) instead of money.
