Okay, so I'm no financial guru, and there's some stuff I don't quite understand in the above letter.
Are you saying that all companies involved will throw their wares into a pile (thus relinquishing ownership) for any of the companies to then pick and choose items from to sell?
If that's the case, then the line about "for every object you sell of your own" would be a scam. Doesn't each company relinquish ownership of their own goods? If so, that 60% percent would never be paid back to the company whose item just got sold, because none of the companies would be selling their own wares (due to these wares effectively being handed over to a third party, that being the "Coalition" ). Where does that 60% go? Into Ardougne's coffers?
If records are kept of which company handed over which items, why would any company choose to load its stalls or its caravans with any goods from another company? By selling their own goods, they would retain 93% of the sale price. By selling the wares of another company, they would only stand to retain 33% percent of the sale price, with no mention given to what happens to the remaining 60%.
If the stalls and caravans of each company are to be loaded with equal percentages of goods from each of the three companies (with the 60% going to the owning company of the bag of coal (to use an example) sold regardless of which company's salesman sells it), one could quite easily abuse the system by "pushing" their own wares to customers far more passionately than how they advertise the wares of their rivals. This way, they make much more of a profit as their wares sell and they receive far more reimbursement, while their rivals' companies suffer due to their wares not selling through anyone else's salesmen.
Like I say, I'm not an expert in this subject, and rather than trying to point out flaws through sarcasm or rhetorical questions, I'm asking this stuff genuinely, because I'm a little confused.
One man's trash is another's treasure, and one man's cash buys another's pleasure.
So I'll rob from the cradle, and I'll rob from the grave; it's just human traffic, and I'm just a slave.
