Could anyone explain why it seems to be so common for people to put basic items in their bazzar or in the market ward for millions of gil?

Copper ores for 999,999,999?

I just don't understand why anyone would want to do this, especially in the market ward. In a bazzar at least you could speak to the player to ask if they were really selling it and arrange a less stupid price. Not that they would reply since they have been sat in the same spot since release and not moved.

In the market ward you can't do that, so seriously what is the point?
There isn't that many items being sold in there so it just adds to an already annoying system when you manage to find an item you want and it's millions of gil.

I know players did this with bazzars in FF XI but i very rarely saw it in the auction house. I mean after all, what is the point it's never going to sell.

I really hate looking for things to buy for more reasons than just this. I hope we get an auction house one day.
