IMPORTANT MARKETS!! GMs

I dislike that because it just add an unnecessary research step when a seller goes to list something on the board.
Before the sellers lists the item, s/he would just goes to the board, puts a very large number in, to guarantee multiple results (unless by chance there is only one on the board) to see what price the competition is using. Then exists the board, puts the item up for sale at the very same undercutting rate s/he would have done so anyways under the current system.

I think you are misunderstanding. You put in a bid and there is an item in that price range, you just bought it.

There is no price fishing, you can bid 1 Gil for a Stack of 10 HQ High Steel Ingots. If the market has that item for that price, you just bought it. If not than you get a message of some sort stating none available at requested price range. If you make a bid for 150,000 Gil for a stack of 10 HQ High Steel Ingots and there is a stack in that price range, you just bought it, even if the seller only listed that stack of 10 ingots for 110,000 Gil.
