Notes
    gollark: Demand AND price.
    gollark: Higher volume means more stuff offloaded.
    gollark: I think he should just lower prices and reduce margins honestly.
    gollark: The really low prices do actually kind of make sense since apparently few actually buy those items. Kind of.
    gollark: Only one shop actually buys items from players, hydro's sell shop.
