I see, the only doubt I still have is whether or not proper "trading" between village members is very much a thing in the present state of the game. From personal experience, in all of the villages I have been part of there is usually a friendship relationship between all of the villagers, which usually results in items being shared between each member. The only exception is perhaps when an item is valuable enough so that it warrants some sort of payment for it (in which case it's much more convenient to not use barter stands for the transaction anyway).
Of course, this probably is because all the villages I've been part of have usually been constituted of a group of friends. This could very well be a nice feature to have when larger villages start showing up (not entirely sure if they're a thing now, except for maybe NB), where personal interest rather than a completely cooperative attitude is more commonplace.
Sorry for sort of derailing the thread, just thought I'd share my personal experience incase it helps in any way for future updates.
