Synopsis
give banker <item>
Description
Bankers throughout the world have adopted new practices and standards through their bankers' union, which permit them to act as secure middlemen during trade transactions between adventurers. Two adventurers may trade items with each other with the banker holding their items in escrow until both traders are satisfied with the terms of the trade.
Objects that cannot be traded are objects that are nomail, no-identify, enforce-level, noremove, explode, vanish-death, no-rent, nouncurse, enforce-level or no-save; containers, food, explosives, writing-instruments, stamps, herbal-mixtures, potions, items greater than 55 levels over the other trader, or objects in the middle of an action.
In addition, bankers will sell bars of refined metal at a 5% markup, to allow easy trading of gold. Adventurers may buy these bars, carry them around, trade them and easily exchange them back into gold.

To initiate a trade, give one of the items you wish to trade to a banker. The person you wish to trade with must be in the room, and you will be given 20 Alyrian minutes to complete the trade from when you start it. If either trader wishes to add an item to the trade, they may simply give the item to the banker. A total of 10 items may be traded during one transaction. If either party logs out or walks away during a trade, their items will be mailed to them.
