Deagonx:
All of you know that 2 people cannot be talking to an NPC at once. I suggest we change that for Traders.

I have 2 possible suggestions.

#1 - Allow merchants to have 2 people speaking to them at once

#2 - Extend the trading time to one minute.

I know of reasons why #1 might not be implemented, so I am going to talk about number 2.
The system was implemented to keep people from 'hogging' the trader. This simply does not work, if I wanted to keep someone from talking to an NPC all I would have to do is switch out between speech and barter and the timer resets. Same if I wanted to extend my shopping time.

Many merchants have a VERY large selection of goods, that cannot even be browsed within the 30 second time limit.
I don't like being rushed when I'm trying to trade with someone, even though no one else is around. It takes me a good amount of time just to do the math with caps when I'm bartering (trading items for items, then evening out the balance with caps)

That is why I think it should be implemented, open for criticism and reprimands.

Reginmund:
You should probably scout out what the trader has first and determine what you want, then return to try purchase it with items/caps (approximate the worth of the items if they are deteriorated weapons). Most likely if you hog the trader other impatient players will use steal or whatever other option to get the animation and hope you are looking at it.

Yes, but if you're empty bluesuiter with strange trollish name, you won't care much about stealing animation, you'll just perma talk to NPC and other guy will to use push to move you further, but when he's doing so, you can easily escape talk and fast move closer to trader and start chat with him again. So if you want to make trader unaccessable, you'll do that in any case, and the only way to protect against it is to kill that troll.

HertogJan:
Increase your barter to increase barter time.
I have a 9 CH alt which has 50 seconds of barter time by default due to the higher barter.
That alt has no additional points put into barter.

TheGreenHand:
Also make sure to use the item type options, like Armor, guns, Drugs, Other or whatever.  It'll help with browsing their inventory.
And, use your middle mouse scroll button, not the arrows in the window.  It scrolls down the list a lot quicker.
