But that was due to certain items being bazaar-only. If they COULD have sold via AH, they would have. XIV doesn't have that classification of items, meaning everything could be sold via AH.

Not really. There were alot of specialized stalls like for food, or certain level range of gear. I played ffxi till this month. I spent 80% of my time running around checking bazaars in jeuno while I waited for a party. Not everyone just sold non ah-able items. Everyone sold different stuff. Like candies during holloween event. Or fireworks for summer. Also goldfish. I've seen ppl sell gear in jeuno. Like stuff you can buy on AH. FFxi AH had a 7ish item limit. So ppl sold stuff in their bazaar and on the AH.

Sure, you'd find the occasional deal, but most bazaar stuff was stuff limited to bazaars, because people could sell things faster and quicker on an AH. Most of what people sold in Ru Lude Mart was stuff that could ONLY be sold via bazaars or was overflow. Like you said, AH had a 7 item limit - so remove that limit, like, say, WoW does, as well as get rid of bazaar-only items, and the amount of people bazaaring in Jeuno would drop, drastically.
