To this trader, the people coming here to bid are truly foolish.
The real treasures are never put up for auction; they are snapped up in private deals long beforehand. Whatever actually reaches the auction block is merely what others have already picked over, released in bits and pieces just to bolster the establishment's reputation. As for the bidders present, are they being lied to? Are they shills? Not exactly. They really do manage to purchase their desired items at prices much lower than those on the open market. To them, the Ghost Market is nothing short of an Immortal existence, a place they hold dearer than anything else.
And that is exactly what the Ghost Market wants.
