Marketplace

Roles: vendor, buyer, stall, goods, haggling, crowd, noise, variety, competition, price

A decentralized trading space where many independent vendors offer goods, buyers browse and compare, and prices emerge from negotiation rather than fiat. The marketplace is structurally distinct from a shop or a factory: no single authority controls what is sold or how. Quality control is distributed — buyers inspect, vendors compete, and reputation is the only regulation. The noise, redundancy, and apparent chaos of the bazaar are features, not bugs.
