Now that we have an official "Item Found in Raid" flag... can we use this system for flea market sales to stop people buying up vendor items and re-selling at a profit?

Simply make items not found in raids ineligible for the flea market. There's no legitimate reason for people to buy an item at a vendor and immediately turn it around on the flea market other than market manipulation.

This system would be far better than the buyout limits per restock.

Note: This should apply to purchased items lost in raid and picked up by another person, obviously. If you buy an AK, bring it to a raid, and I kill you and want to sell it on the market, that should work.

Yes, this opens the possibility of people buying items to take them into raids for friends to steal and flea market. I think the burden of effort here is high enough to make it not worth it and significantly reduce the amount of issues we experience with price gauging.
