What is the incentive to let the connected character sell stuff then? If they are jerks just sell your own stuff.

which lands the poor face character between a rock and a hard place: either they paid (e.g.) [20] points and are no better off than the others, or they’re just asking for tensions within the group.
In my last GURPS DF game the bard just took a small fee and then divided the spoils evenly, so the other players were still getting a way better deal than selling it themselves.
