It also has the grand Bazaar. Functionally similar to the market board but in only one location. Works across all the worlds like 200+ and has daily price ranges. When you sell, you set a minimum price order. Buyers set a maximum price order. It allows for partial order so multiple people can fill large orders, either selling or buying. It fills the buy order by lowest price available up to their maximum or until their quantity requested is filled. Or reversed if there's low stock with the sellers order. And no one can see any listed orders from other players.
