The purpose of the markets would be to predict future month’s sales. Each type of consumer good would have a separate market. The monthly sales of these goods vary greatly, for example one type could sell 50 units a month while another could sell 25,000 per month. Sales increase (could be over 100%, but rarely) and decrease (up to 100%) by large amounts. I am interested in any market design ideas Midas Oracle contributors may have.
