Lecture on the hammerspace market scheme by Arter Copperbraid Ofrumri

Transcript of a lecture on public infrastructures and the public storage system by Arter Copperbraid Ofrumri, economics lecturer.
"A fun story some of you may have heard, was the hammerspace market scheme from a few years ago. As you know, field pouches or combat pouches represent tools available even when the public storage system is offline. To bypass this limitation, people have the option to sell their equipment on the aether web to make room. An option for these people was that items could be retrieved from the market, unless it was sold in the meantime. So users would set the price so absurdly high that no one would buy them, and they would safely remain in the auction's asset vaults, effectively creating a parallel storage systems at no cost for the user. 
But did we shut down this system? No, why would we? instead a competition and trade commission created aggressive requisition automatons that have ever since been having a field day seizing any items that are egregiously overpriced. And the best part is that this was justified as to ensure fair competition and combat speculation issues. 
So the trick nowadays is finding the right price that ensures no one will buy the stored item, but that it won't be seized by the commission to combat inflation.
It's actually quite fun when you see one user selling advanced gear such as specialty ammunition boxes above market price, only to disappear and reappear minutes later with the same offer for ammunition, but some bullets are missing."
