What about automating the sell process by smelters and processers? kinda like smiths and bars.. but you can set a price and how much food/metal you wanna sell and anyone can buy it with a guild check? and by them putting the stock up for sale at there guild, they can still reserve stock for people by not putting it up for sale, or put lots up for sale at a “sales price” for x amount of stock. that way, you still have the base rate you want to sell out, if you just want to get rid of stock you can put some lots up for cheaper, but it still gives you an option to wheel and deal prices with people who want to buy it cheaper…
