Grand Bazaar - CLOSED

[Granny]

......... we decided to build an independent market with no ties to factions and with a big community focus.

HOW IS THE GRAND BAZAAR MANAGED?
The market hosts a Mercantile Council in which decisions of common interest (notably public expenses) are voted. All merchants who own a store in the city are allowed to vote in the sessions.

This is awesome, and I hope you all succeed. It is a bit too far for me to travel atm, but I look forward to visit when I have enough will.

There is just no way you thought that mentioning you are ex-WB members and have WB core endorse it in the first posts is a good idea You know you didn't have to do that right?

I consider the W15 WB market experience to be quite a successful one and I'm proud to have been part of it. I hope to be able to replicate something similar with the Grand Bazaar.
I do realize that some people have grudges against Whatever Bay. This market is open for all merchants, including the ones who may have acted against WB in the past - we do not claim to be a successor to Whatever Bay in any way.
Finally, we do not rely solely on our neutrality to keep the peace. The design and location of the market makes it very easy for us to defend from a siege, so merchants do not have to worry about needing to close the store because of it.

How is it going mate, what is price for 400 tin coins? How much are they going to save their value?

I also don't understand how was it even possible not to care about tin currency after all critics, it looks like a spit in the face to community with words "Don't worry sprucecaps we'll keep ripping your off".
In case economy of market gets scaled I simply don't see how you're going to replace all tin with gold, as the cost of gold gonna be unbearable for you. Unless, of course, you're printing even more tin to cover the migration expenses to gold, draining market economy liquidity for your own good, effectively performing it from the purse of your traders and customers, considering it will be replaced no one will know how much you drained at all.

Other than that, I don't see a problem with gold at all, Irongete market economy exploded consuming more than 100 gold bars in few days since opening, with only ~10 gold bars as starting point.

With token price fluctuation of 150-300 gold coins per token, you could invest 3-5 tokens to bootstrap your market gold economy, though you decided to go same authoritarian way your WB market always gone for your own good, I'd like to conclude no lessons learned, and hope this project won't thrive.

this might be a more apt comparison than u initially thought, given their currency
"shekels"? is this market run by teenagers or smth?
