To compensate for a slowing economy.

[Desidious]

I think this would just end up exacerbating the high supply / low demand of items that have caused stagnation on the market boards.

The reason that it is so hard to gain traction in the marketplace at the moment is that everything is oversupplied, it is buyers market with suppliers forced to sell items at a miniscule return.

What needs to happen is a reduction in supply and to promote a return to a scarcity goods market on certain high demand products.

So would it be better to say that just needing extra inventory space instead of an actual retainer? Space is more needed over another shop to sell my wares.
