In the case of making F2P more viable, though, I believe the sellers SHOULD control the market - the easiest way for F2P players to get their economies going in the past was to sell a rare/high value card that has only marginal utility to a player that isn't rolling with a 26 man roster of entirely 100s. A single Perfect reliever to a F2P team that maybe has 8-9 platinum total is way more useful as something they can sell to generate more packs than it is on their roster.
To use the Limited Edition example again - as someone that doesn't care at all about collecting every single card like some folks do, this card is worth way more (in theory) as something I can flip for 100 packs than it is as "just another card I have on my otherwise middle of the road team". The way the Buy/Sell system has eliminated the "competition" aspect of the Auction system and crushed the prices we can get for something like that.
