Unfortunately, one thing missing from our system is incentive to move
stock.

With any supply/demand I can think of, there is something... fashion,
obsolescence, perishability, taxes... that encourages suppliers to cater
to some extent to the buyer, often with offering better prices when
sales move slowly.

Fortunately or not, credits are not perishable, they do not go out of
style, nor is there a New Improved Credit to make old credits no longer
valuable. There is no reason not to leave your credits on the Credit
Market for as long as you want, as high as you want, until someone buys
them out of desperation.

The only way to solve this would be to implement a taxation system on
the Credit Market, some small amount that would not significantly cut
into profits, but would encourage sellers to price their credits to move
them in a short amount of time.

Penned by my hand on the 8th of Daedalan, in the year 343 AF.
