I get that sometimes unfair trades are appropriate (for example when I acquired the goods for my Arc -Yay!).
But I often see trade offers in the market that just don't seem to make sense for anybody to take. For example, I am currently seeing an offer of 90 wine for 60 gold. If it was possible to do at a fair trade (which it isn't because the two goods are 2 eras apart), the appropriate rate would be 90:30. Another example, I am seeing 90 wine for 80 cloth. This one can be done at a fair trade rate of 90:45.
Seemingly someone is charging exorbitant rates for their goods, and expecting the buyer to pay a forge point for the privilege of being gouged.
Am I missing some blatantly obvious reason why these trade offers are viable? Or is someone just hoping to snare a sucker?
