Trolling is basically being overly sarcastic or just posting to wind people up.
And fred, the ge and trade windows will give you the market price like it does at the moment and you could work out what the ge trade limit would be by going 5% either way.. that's how the game works it out.

"This is what is normally sold for"
As well as being able to have people undercut one another, manners dictating a discount etc.
It's not going to be common to have discounts, but if someone is polite when I'm selling stuff I always go a bit cheaper.

@N0n Mager, hence the 'relatively' part of my post :P
Thanks Fredup for explaining what Trolling is! Much appreciated! :)
(and to all else who explained too)

I actually have quite a lot to say about this.
I have always been an extremely avid supporter of the old wilderness and have quite often shaken my fist at Jagex for taking it away. There have been times ive killed people with 60m+ risk (rushers), and been rewarded with like 1m of stuff at most. Times like those, and just the pure fact that killing someone results in fail look 90% of the time unless you sit and wait for a very high EP, which still isnt foolproof. Plenty of my pk videos show me killing someone with 50% and getting trash not worth 100k.
But on the other hand, there have been times that ive killed a no item target, and gotten 1-2milllion. or times ive killed normal pkers and gotten more than what i should have if i had just got their stuff.
I also think that if the wilderness comes back there needs to be a lot of changes to the area in which it is played, and some other things left the same:
Changes:
Remove Revnants
Relocation of clue scroll, games, and other wilderness activities.
Removal of +1. Sick of 1 itemers infesting the wilderness
Keeps:
Mage arena has always been in the wilderness, keep it there.
Obelisks should also stay. They are very usefull.
Keep EP, but make it a bonus to what your already getting
Introduce an official DP. Death Points or whatever people call it. You die, and your stuff is then invested into future drops. Maybe make EP based on how much youve lost. so like 100% would be like 2 million lost. and the more you die, the more sweet kind loving Jagex decides to help you out in the future with drops.

grrrr i dont want to know what the g.e thinks the price should be
i thought we all hated the fact the g.e trys to control the prices.
hence why we want free trade
i want to know the minimum and maximum price i can buy it for from there right away and i dotn get why thed take this away
i.e if someonjes posted it for 1.7k when i think its wiorth 300k i want to know someones posted it so darn cheap so i can bite there hand off and if someone only wants 301k for it when its worth 300 to me i also want to know so i can go hmm that dotn seem so bad.
does that make sense

For those of you who think free trade will brinig back RWT, you're wrong. Back in 2007 to buy 1m gp it would cost you around 8$ USD. And at this very moment even with the trade limit you can buy 1m for under a dollar. RWT has always been going on and I don't think it'll ever stop.
As for bots, there are still bots in every world mining ess in varrock, picking/spinning flax, tanning hides, training combat, and the list goes on.
In the current pvp worlds when you die all your items go to waste, if you die with dh it's gone, however, in the old wilderness the player who killed you got your items, as a reward for killing you. You wouldn't walk into a pvp world with all you rares and valuable items would you? So why would the wilderness be any different? If you don't want to risk losing it don't bring it. If you don't want to risk anything, then go to clan wars.
And clue scrolls always used to be in the wilderness, no one ever complained about it back then. Doing clues has always been a gamble, now the stakes will be a bit higher.

@omgAGSpanic
You've made alot of interesting points. But i will have to disagree with the EP and DP idea...
Everyone would turn to EP as thier source of income. why not get a ton of ep, kill your friend, give your friend back his/her risk, and keep your EP gains?
It would be a way to generate coins into the game, thus causing people to abuse the system and not use it as intented. It would be nice to get the best rewards from killing your opponent in a fair fight, but it can me miss-used as well.
Showing DP will cause a similar problem, as people would risk thier bank, allow thier friend to kill them, then give them back thier stuff, just to increase thier own DP.
EP and DP allowed people to cheat the game into getting riches.

As much as I love the fact that someone on this forum knows how to spell I have to disagree with your post.
The ideas you suggested just seem to ruin the simple beauty of the wilderness.
The other player carries 1k with them, if you kill them, you get 1k drop (to be precise 997gp)
It is the fact that there is nothing hidden and nothing complicated that makes the wilderness the best possible pvp experience.
Edit:
Fred you make NO sense at all, you say you don't mind if free trade is passed but you want to know what the maximum and minimum prices for the item are... That is the point of free trade, there are no maximum prices and no minimum prices.
