3) Storage/Deposit setting: Select any current item in the market put it on a Storage List. Members that have items on list can Deposit item to the retainer and it will be added to the retainers stock to sell.
4) Shop settings: Set prices for items and option to sell to FC members or to general public.

Example: You get a retainer, put up potash/coke/choco food/etc. as your Storage item list. Set up Shop to sell items to FC members only at a lower price than the market. Members get mats from dungeons, deposit them to retainer, crafters buy them, other members raising choco's buy what they need, and gil goes to funding FC.
I know a system like this can be abused but would like a positive build on it to make it work
