Open Market is still perfect for in RP ship sales.
Actually looking at Ship Sale forum as a Market if you divide it in two different sub-markets with two different customer groups , posting only in Open Market or only in Ship sale will decrease your chances to find a customer.Even the most hardcore RP player will sell his ship to the lolwut, it is just business so I am a little bit unsure...:unsure:
Edit: Not to mention that maintaining of two different sub-forums will cost more time to admins and more time to players as I said it is economic not efficient to sell only in one of the sub-forums.
Edit2:(Final one)
And Other positive side of the Ship Sale forum is that this is the first place where new players see any form of RP in the forum, as new around this was the first place for me ,was not some fancy veteran player story. At this point the new player MUST RP in order to buy the desired ship,even when he writes 'I want this ship buy -100 mil' he MUST read the RP-formed ship information first.It helps, believe me it helped me and may be it helped other new players too.
