*cracking knuckles* Let's see how this one goes over.

Lioden's economy has become ass in some aspects; everyone can agree to this declaration.
Experienced players likely recall the days when a middle-aged, Sunset-based lioness -- for example -- could go for 30+ . Nowadays, you see them going for 10 per cub.
Opal Saltlicks also didn't help for eye breeders.
As a comparative measure, what happens when entire countries suffer from severe devaluing of the market? In the US, the Federal Reserve steps in.

What is the Federal Reserve?
"The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States. It [among other functions] ... conducts the nation’s monetary policy to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates in the U.S. economy; promotes the stability of the financial system and seeks to minimize and contain systemic risks through active monitoring and engagement in the U.S. and abroad... and fosters payment and settlement system safety and efficiency through services to the banking industry and the U.S. government that facilitate U.S.-dollar transactions and payments." (FederalReserve.gov)

In comprehensible terms, the Federal Reserve keeps the US economy stable by protecting businesses, protecting consumers, and altering interest rates to match the economy's natural rate of inflation; otherwise, severe inflation or deflation could occur, leading to detrimental consequences (1929, anyone?). It does not control the US market, it helps to regulate it to prevent catastrophe.

TLDR: I brought this up to propose that Lioden should implement more minimum restrictions like those on stud prices for the Trade Center to serve as our own little 'Federal Reserve'.
They could have rules such as:

- Having minimum SB/GB prices for lions with Special and/or Rare bases
- Not permitting Oasis items to be sold for more than their Oasis sell price
- Having minimum SB/GB prices for lions with Tier 4/5/6 markings

Primarily, I am suggesting that they have minimums for Rare/Special bases and both minimums and maximums for Oasis items.
