i find that price capping in shops IF there's a trading feature on site is very smart, really, especially if there's a search function. people are going to be less likely to use their shop as a gallery feature (a big trend on sites that don't have galleries; people who do this have no common sense and don't think 'if you put a price on it, it can be bought') and put things of value in their shop to show off their collections/valuables.

if they can't put those valuables in their shop at a ridiculous price, it will result in less 'false' shop listings that bloat search results, and accidental sales of things people only wanted to show off so there's less whining to staff by taking away incentive to use shops as a gallery with caps that are lower in value than the valuables are worth.

will it still happen? yeah, but smarter people will stop and think first, and that matters.

now, if there's a cap on trading, that would be bad. right now, the neopets community use baby paint brushes to equalize a trade because you can only offer 2 million neopoints pure in trades. it's absolutely exhausting and SO risky when there's a 10 item limit in place and baby pbs are 600k np each, in an economy where there's LOTS of items worth WELL over that (and quite a lot in the several hundred million np range). there's a HUGE chance that you're taking when you have to offer on other junk trades to buy an item with, that the person on the other side will never give you the item after accepting all your offers. if you see that on santae, fucking run.
