That's not how the free market works at all. A player is worth what the other GMs will pay him. If, in the new theoretical system, a GM is making lowball offers, he'll be outbid by his fellow GMs until the price for the player reaches the representation of the market.
And to make sure the other GMs have time to do that, I already said it's probably a good idea that if your offer is really that far off the player's demand, the longer the player will wait before he agrees to it.
