I don't know whether these ideas have been presented/proposed before, but two things have crossed my mind...:
<(Trade)>
Perhaps a trade feature would be a nice new step for paying Sleuth users. The ability to trade would mean trading items for items, or perhaps money for items, providing that there are a couple of confirmation sequences for both participants to reduce problems.
<(NYC Stock Market)>
This idea is less... necessary, but as a perk for being located in New York, perhaps users could invest money in companies and/or townies. If it were to be companies, the possibilities are open-ended; I don't know how to explain that further. If it were to be townies, bribes that Sleuth detectives hand over would raise the value of the stock for that townie. Of course, you could place stocks in townies for any city. My idea for this is rather vague, but it could possibly increase the addictivity of the game.

Don't ask me where I saw it, it was one of my late night stupors...but somewhere, buried in time, Ben once suggested that if he did an auction, the equipment would degenerate over time.
This sounds like work and hassle for everyone. Ben's time making it all happen and us constantly having to replace equipment.
And I'm not digging for that thread.

No they are good ideas. But unfortunately they make the game easier.

Well, the stock exchange might work like the Shanghai race track - a way to wager a little money, maybe make some extra money for Shady - and add a new dimension to the game without needing to make the case-solving easier

I think it should be done like the factions. Not giving more money, but a special skill for the day you are on top of the stock exchange and your name on the books as top dog. Or only earn a little cash, when you are top of the stock exchange. Not for everybody to get money automatically.

I was going to say, I don't think the Stock Exchange makes the game easier. Just a little riskier.

Oh, well, trading could come into a big use right here; I want a Formal Top Hat, but I don't want to have to raise my Circle of Light rating. And no one in my agency specializes in the Circle of Light. *sigh*
