Just invest time.2) It's a reasonably effective abstraction of a market in general in which the players aren't interested in role-playing out all sales via bargaining/auctioning and are willing to take an "average" price for the sake of expediency. Otherwise, to simulate a market with supply and demand variables to determine a final price would be pretty cumbersome. The PC can't really expect to gain an optimal price every time he heads out to sell his creations - sometimes the demand isn't there at the price he's asking for.</blockquote>
