This seems designed to irritate players. I understand why there's a timeout for having their stock open in the first place; it's to prevent people from hogging all the space.

But for players, especially new ones, having it only open for 16-30 seconds is extremely irritating. I've had it shut down just before I was about to complete a trade. The only thing this accomplishes is for me to go through the conversation and open up the inventory AGAIN.

It would be better to just extend the time to a fixed amount (2-3 minutes), or, the timeouts only start occurring when the person looking at the stock isn't doing anything (scrolling, attempting to buy, etc.)

Well still players could hog the trader and sit there all day even scrolling.
Even more annoying than the timeouts is waiting to get to the trader in a crowded NCR.
And it would make it hell for the players waiting.
So this wouldn't be to good of an idea.

just raise your barter skill to extend timeout.

Yes, because a player really wants to sit around, scrolling back and forth a screen, for minutes on end. I don't mind waiting in a crowded NCR, but canceling like that only causes MORE delays in the end: The people waiting there just re-open the conversation and try to buy again. Massive waste of time.

On the one hand it encourages players to move quickly, but still...
