While there would be some nice aspects to skinning and buying/selling, I think it's kind of like the lasso where the downsides would outweigh the advantages if it was done the same as in single player. The one thing it would definitely help, though, would be picking up some extra money for gambling. I guess it could work if instead of shops you could just get an instant $1 added to your account each time you skin an animal.
