Well I'm not sure how much it would help, but how much do radio stations help? XD
I think at the very least it would change it up a little.
It also introduces a new mechanic into merchanting, besides the standard buy just above the sellback, and sell at normal price or even higher.
at +-5% being the max it can go per day, it's not a game changer, meaning you can't buy a gun at a low point, and sell it back to the shop in a few days or a week and expect to make profit.
Just like the spreadsheet illustrated, even at the high point of 124k (24k above original price), the sellback of 93k is still lower than the lowest price of 96k, so there's no way to make money purely by watching the shop prices. However, if it was at +-10%, that could be a possibility
There's still added profit opportunity in merchanting to players, though.
like this:
>Buy a 100k gun at 96k from the shop
> Price goes up to 120k in a week
> sell to a player for 110k
> ?????
> Profit.
Also, I think that maybe if this ever did happen, it would be nice to see the gun's shop price and sellback value in the inventory window under the gun's stats.
