Buy the pieces. Build the fit.
The Trading Post is the digital gear shop: direct shelves first, earned Street Drops second, and a carefully controlled marketplace later. Stash owns it. Locker equips it. Street ID shows it.
A real little shop, not a blanket inventory.
Browse modular gear by slot and source. Full sets can exist later as saved fits, but the system is built around individual items: hats, tops, shoes, chains, handhelds, boards, companions and strange flex pieces.
Random rewards should be earned, not sold.
Arcade runs, Activity routes, creator milestones and community features can fill a Drop Meter. When the meter completes, the user earns a Street Drop. The important rule: people should not be asked to pay for an unknown item.
Trading is powerful, but not first.
Direct shelves and earned drops are the safe foundation. User-to-user trading should only open after real accounts, inventory ownership, anti-abuse checks and clear listing rules exist.
