You'd probably have to explain to me the difference... Is
it that stocks are paper shares of ownership in a company,
whereas commodities are trading actual physical items? I
was going to put commodities, but only because it sounded
better :] For some of the LUGNETers, I figured they may better
be able to relate to "stock market" than "commodity market".

Well, that's what I meant, but I guess I was ambiguous there.
By using a very rare set like the Gal Ex as my example, there
won't really be a market price, other than what it last sold for,
which could be 6 months ago. So whatever asking price it
shows up for (Limit Sell Order), that becomes the market
value because our buyer is going to grab it. I probably
confused some people with that one..., I just should have
said buy it at market value..., but I didn't want to explain
market value :]

I'm not so sure it's too bad that it is so small. I don't ever
want to see a time when I can't buy a certain set because my
LEGO broker says there's a 20-set minimum per trade! :]
