SE is the "government" in this case. Are they stopping you from selling? No, they aren't. Are they telling you what prices you can sell for? No, they aren't. All listings on the marketboard are voluntary.
Then show me how you sell an item at a desired price you set when another player has flooded the market with 59-70 of those items at an extremely low price. Do you really think that any player will pay even 1 gil more than the price that 1 player made? Certainly not. So is this your idea of a free market? Sure, I can now choose another item that I want to sell... but what is that? THIS ONE PLAYER has done the same thing with countless other items. But hey, the market is free ... we can wait a few more years until this 1 player runs out of resources ...
