    Iron Ore:

    System successfully ruined, forever.
    ...how is the system "ruined"? If Iron Ore is so abundant that Bob feels that he is making a profit by selling it at 1 gil, then maybe Iron Ore is truly only worth 1 gil on the market. If it's actually worth 3 gil, why doesn't your BBB BBB buy up all the listings at 1 gil and relist them for 3 gil? This is how a real exchange works.

    What exactly do you think is "good" for the market? Have you ever participated in a real-life commodities or stock exchange? Your assumption that only the lowest seller will sell anything hinges on that seller having so much supply that it will meet all any and all demand, and in that case the laws of supply and demand say the supply far outstrips demand and therefore the price really should be that low. How is artificially making viable goods priced higher than the bulk supply "good" for the market? Your idea of how a market should work is indeed as Almalexia says, ludicrous.
