The Trading Post is Ashmarch's Grand Exchange-style marketplace. List items at any price you choose, buy from other players instantly, cancel unsold listings at any time, and review your trade history. A small percentage tax comes off the seller's proceeds.
The Trading Post is Ashmarch's player marketplace. You put up items for sale or post a buy offer for something you want, and the Post matches buyers and sellers for you, even while you are logged out.
Choose Trading post on any bank booth (the bank chest in the Motherlode Mine has it too), or type ::tp. ::tpbuy and ::tpsell open it on the buy or sell side. It cannot be opened in the Wilderness or during combat.

Check the guide price before listing. Pricing slightly under the cheapest current offer sells fastest; pricing higher means waiting. Herbs, logs, hides and bones have no shop buyer worth using, so the Trading Post is usually the best place for them. See Money Making.
If nothing is listed, post a buy offer instead of checking back: it will fill the moment someone sells at your price. Many staples are cheaper from point shops, so check Shops too.
