    Which is capitalism....
    Anyway. Learn to read trade signs, you can't define any of these words to make a clear rule. It won't work, get over it.

    What if the rule was more along the lines of no advertising ridiculous prices. So you could charge 30k for an nstars but u can't advertise it. This will make it impossible for people to advertise their prices in an attempt to scam and this seems like a rule that is more easy to define

    So there's really 2 circumstances here:

    Signs/Ads that are blatantly misleading:
    Easy to tell which these are. Signs that say "Selling nstars $600" and sell for 800 or stuff like that. Historically we warn and ban for these.

    Signs/Ads that are circumstantially misleading/simply "overpriced":
    I think it's absolutely silly to simply ban people for selling something "overpriced" - people should have the right to sell what they want at the price they want so long as they're not being misleading.

    As for generic signs of "Good Deals" etc - historically we've let that stuff slide a bit. It doesn't say a specific thing so you still have to read the sign to see what it is. Without a complicated rule and way to define what is/isn't this a good deal then this would be near impossible.

    However if you disagree with the business practices of an individual, then really what you can do is avoid doing business with that person.

    This is by far the dumbest, most illogically flawed suggestion I've ever seen. I don't mind people having to have the correct price and amount on a sign (which has been enforced), however, what is ridiculous is your communist arguments, and that's where I draw the line. You're mandating people to stagnate prices based noting on demand in the market, and you've completely neglected that.

    This would be terrible! It would ruin the "free market" of the ECC shops. It would take away my intrest in owning a shop and im sure it would for many others ;( markets are already bad please don't make them worse

    if no one will buy the $10 coal, then why is this a suggestion? you're contradicting yourself here.

    My reasoning ^

    I'm denying this suggestion - I see arguments against this behavior sure, and understand why it's something we'd want to discourage. However this is no logical way to do this.

    Feel free to refile the suggestion with a simple objective benchmark - without one however, I encourage letting the power of the market discourage this behavior.
