fredup, you're stupid.
In free trade there is no forced accept so you can't sell stuff for whatever the hell price you want. Using your example you could offer to pay the shopkeeper slightly less as a favour and they may well say yes.
Free trade is FAR more representative of the real world economy.
Plumbers and window cleaners etc charge their own price, not on within 5% of what the average plumber is charging.
Free trade and wildy is THE RIGHT THING for this game.

fredup you've just compared the situation with something entirely unrelated. it would be more.
do you ask your friend to buy the can of coke and do they know the exact price and have no choice to make you pay it if you want it. or does your friend have any way of saying. actuelly i dont want you can have it for free. or you can have it for 10p or whatever. comparing with a shop is silly and unrelated to what we are talking about.

@ fred, you have no idea what free trade means right? you think you can just offer anything you want for an item and get it? my god...anyways.
The seller will put up a price, and you can decide if you:
A. agree with the price.
B. disagree with the price so you offer another price.
C. disagree with his price, so you find someone with a cheaper price.
Competition is what our world runs on.
take any phone carrier for instance. If the entire system was controlled by one company, then they would issue our any price they want (like what g.e merch clans do) and you will "Have" to pay that price.
But with competition one carrier is trying to get more sales (like people used to do before g.e) so they will offer a lower price so you buy their item.

Example.
seller A. selling bgs 20m
Buyer: hmm good price...ok deal (but just as hes about to buy it)
seller B. (says) selling bgs 17m cash now.
buyer: ok man thats a way better deal.
(so now seller A. has to decide...and he does, he does not want to lose his customer)
seller A. ok selling bgs 15m.
etc etc... (cheesy example but i hope you got my point)
Monopoly fails. competition is freedom.

omg this is looooong. o.o

essentially fredup is actually stating a free market. If you think about it, the shop sets its own price that is not controlled by the government, it might not seem like free trade because it's the shop's rule for that price but the gvt. didn't set that rule it was the people. See what I mean?

@FredUp
"to people that say free trade rperesents real life more :-
if you walk into a shop and want to buy a can of coke does the shop keeper list a price and thats what you have to pay.

or can you do free trade and pay what you want for it?"
What does this have to do with free trading? What you are saying is that a customer makes the price, instead of the seller. Even with free trade there are normal prices. Some people are under the price, others above, this is called competition.
That's why there were a lot of different spots in falador world 2 before 2007 with people offering their herbs or dragon meds.
So your explanation of free trade is crap.
