Price is a bit too low, but it's a good idea imo.
Please tell me the caps would be going somewhere, cus this looks like just another caps dump to me and they're hard enough to find already.
This would completely ruin those that hunt brahmins and sell their hides. Why would someone buy large quantities of skins from a player when he could just go to the NPC? I don't like that. First you want to have player-driven economy and then you say NPCs should sell infinite amounts of hides. And don't give me the price bullshit because 100 caps difference for a big gang is nothing.
Oh, and did I say that this way it would not be a pain in the ass for newbies to try to get 10 fucking hides for their first tent? Which is in my opinion a problem with the same degree of importance as the cap problem.
Tell that to those guys who bitch about how hard it is to get hides for your first tent. And no matter if the price differerence, if a Player sells hides at a lower price, you will certainly buy from him. So I don't think this would "ruin" the brahmin hides business.
The problem is with Brahmins around biggest towns. I remember few wipes ago it was easy to go hunt some cows around NCR but now there are BARELY any. What's the reason for this? Just add more cows around the cities.Why would I bother looking for player that sells 100 hides when I can buy them from NPC instantly? Huh?
Yeah so now starters wont need brahmin hides, they will need caps... excellent solution
Well... if hides could be for about 150-200 caps and their number would be limited (i.e. max 10, +1 per hour) then it wouldn't be a bad idea.
