Bound =/= Binding So why the heck can't we sell the item?

[Tupsi]

Soooooo....

You buy gear.
You USE it.
You want to sell it second hand.
You want the original price you paid back.

Am I the only one who sees a slight flaw there?

There's no flaws - You normally resell stuff when the prices goes up (make a profit) or to get rid of it you'll get a bit less or still a return on it, compared to converting gear and getting only 200 gil for it (like most materia is worth on legacy worlds that isn't tier IV or certain III.)

You buy make the gear
You use it
You outgrow it
You resell it
Or
You pass it off to a friend to save them gil to use/have.

What flaw is there? The market is screwed up with or without a bound system.
