Uh... what? You can dismiss while stuff is in their bazaar. I do it all the time because I keep a few 99,999,999g items in to change my retainer's appearance.

Sorry, I guess I was less than clear. I didn't mean that dismiss only works when you have nothing in the bazaar, I meant that dismiss is the only thing you can do when you have nothing in the bazaar; you can't finish. Of course you can dismiss when there's something in the bazaar.
