Remove Art from the markets
Where it shall probably stay forever

This may be an unpopular idea or take, but I suggest that Art be taken out of the markets. It just feels like really cool pieces that people make get sent to the markets to die when they could just be selling them in private sales for reasonable prices.

Yea, Beepboop, maybe an adjustment on the prices even! Not to undervalue someones work but some of the prices are unrealistic, IMO.

Art pieces end up in the market either from not being installed in an apartment evicting or in more cases I imagine people removing other people's artwork to sell in the market. It's a very frustrating situation where artists aren't meant to create art just to sell in the market, but others can buy artwork for a cheap IC price, or uninstall it from places, and immediately sell it in the markets.

I've previously suggested allowing artists to set their own inspect trade value on artwork that cannot go over the coded value roll of it https://sindome.org/bgbb/game-discussion/ideas/allow-artists-to-lower-work-value.-3298/

Which I think would solve a lot of these problems.
