Selling at broker glitch

[Snowmantis]

Selling directly to a broker from your personal inventory does not work even when the prompts indicate the broker is ready to start a trade.    (even for free)

Take the same items, move to a ship ship parked on airport and you can successfully trade with the broker via the same COMM channel.


If we are not suppose to trade directly with Brokers then the prompts should be changed.   If we can trade with brokers (old style cities), then this appears to be a bug.

The broker is not used for personal trading in new-style cities. Brokers are only used to trade with spacecraft and to send shipments.
For personal trading, go to a retail store, grocery or cantina.

In your new-style city, go to a retail store. On the building window, go to the store tab. In the lower right corner, click the "Offer to Sell" button. Then attempt to sell your items on the channel that opens.

Got it.... then the messaging and interaction needs to be updated.  In-person trades should NOT be prompted by the broker with an offer to buy your goods/trade.  Instead of saying 'Welcome friend, what merchandise do you have to sell? i am listening.'  it should have a different response logic like 'Nice to see you friend, in-person trades are accepted from a ship or at a retail store'.
