I like the market wards

I like the market wards too, but there's one thing I'd like to see SE do to improve it. I've been looking for a green cotton bandana for a while now but it always seems to be sold out, or no one makes them anymore and has been sold out for a while. What I'm suggesting is, even though the green bandana item icon is still there even though it's sold out, I can click on it and have the option to commision someone to make it for me. Or just show crafters that there are people that would buy that item. That way crafters know what will sell and what would just sit there for weeks.

Kind of like this.
*Player sees Iron Spear for sale but can't buy it since it's sold out*
*Player clicks on the icon and gets the option to commision/let crafters know that someone would like to buy it*
*Crafters see this and decide to make one and put it for sale in the market*
*Player goes back the next day to see that there's an Iron Spear available for purchase*
*Player gets his/her spear and crafter gets his/her gil*

Maybe you can even have the option to name who wants to buy said item.

BTW this is a great idea but I wanna tweak it a little: you search for an item you want in the wards, you find its sold out, you can then click it and seek item at a given price of your choice and it'll show up in your retainer - a crafter runs by and sees it just found himself some work, he makes the item for you, sells it to your retainer and you come back later and you have that item. This is honestly the best idea anyone has come up with so far with regards to the wards.
