No, but you're very close.
Ah. Well, I'm out of ideas.

Need a name for your character, ability, item, or location. I might be able to help, see this entry for more information .
That's what brainstorming is for! Okay so here's what we know, condensed into one nice neat post (I've not included the incorrect guesses so far because the hints here eliminate them all):
Looks really painful
Like the gag arrows
But it must work
On selling to Davey
-found inside Junon proper.
-not a character.
-not a monster/enemy.
-the answer is related to pirates
-nothing to do with the ghost ship
-something sharp is involved, but not spikes
"Is davey the shop keeper who has to hire girls who lure in buyers to sell stuff in junon, but the action just costs him money?"
"No, but you're very close."
Line 2 refers to the 'arrow through the head' gag. The answer isn't a gag, "but it might inspire that reaction if you thought it was real."
I'm off to Junon, to search out the answer!
[edit]...Well, I watched a let's play and didn't see anything there, and I'm playing through the game now. It'll be a little bit before I get there.

wasn't there a guy in junon who has fake weapons?
This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen
It's found in one of the weapon shops.
It's the poster of a skull and bones with a sword through the head, in the accessory shop in Junon.
The first two lines, then, are obvious. The last two are worded in a very tricky way. He means that the poster, having a skull and bones, works for the purpose of advertising to pirates. (And the sword through the skull says "ARRR! These be deadly useful items we sell.")
How long do solvers get to post new riddles? It used to be 48 hours but I figure that may well have changed...
I've looked through the thread a little bit, BG...looks like the answers have become a little more obscure on average since the older days.
Correct! Your go.
We can wait for a while so long as you make it clear you are going to post one.
I know, but some of that is due to the fact that we've had hundreds of riddles over the years and the more obvious ones have already been covered and I don't like repeating myself.
I do give hints, so hopefully it's not impossible.
Yeah, I figured over time it's bound to happen. Either answers have to be more obscure, or riddles have to be more tricky. Depending on turnover of course. I could probably post one from a few years back and it would do fine...but I like writing them, so.
I'm gonna stick with the death theme. Seems cheery enough.

Like heiroglyphs from old Egyptian days,
the "teller" is gone but the story stays:
Pharaohs to heaven must pay a great fare
with riches they often postmortemly wear.
Or, if that reading is quite incorrect,
and the item in question was meant to protect,
well clearly the wearer neglected to stay,
so perhaps we conclude 'twas a curse either way.
White/Holy Materia?
No but that's an excellent guess.
The first line is literal.
The murals painted on the walls in the room you find the Black Materia in, inside the Temple of the Ancients?
Line one doesn't refer to actual heiroglyphs--just something like heiroglyphs. You've got the right idea though.
Bonus hint, the answer has nothing to do with any of the Ancients.
Is it the Combat Square where the floor is inscribed with something like: 'The Brave do not Fear the Grave'?
The tattoos on the failed Sephy clones? It's a little out of the box, but it can apply really well.
