ANSWERED: Luggard Market weirdness

[Kiltwich]

On the Balcony
Several large barrels have been placed around a large stall that occupies
the eastern wall. Sticks and staves, some with spear heads, tridents or axe
heads have been placed in the barrels, making them look like creatures that
are bristling with anger. A small stand selling mugs, flagons, jugs and
tankards in various shapes and sizes sits nearer the balcony's edge.

A large poster lists the wares for sale here.

I wonder if that sungwood came from someone else who previously tried to sell it and gave to the wrong mob, because it has no accompanying sell listing before you bought it.

Not sure how to prevent all the "people chortlesnorfling up in various ways" to be honest.

Under the Stairs
Hidden away under a broad stairway is a small nook where a few small stands
have been placed. The items on one of the stands flicker and glimmer in the
light, drawing a crowd who quietly point and admire the valuables. One
stand sells neatly labeled jars of honey and jam in all sorts of flavors.
