If we want to restart the business community, I think the mods should intervene. To avoid having ridiculously large prices but no overpowered cheap things, a mod in charge of business should be appointed to monitor the shops. The overheads would be eliminated but shops couldn't sell anything unless its price and function was approved by the mod.

In this way, businesses won't go bust, no one will be ridiculously overpowered and prices won't skyrocket.
Technically, the overheads were created to stop owners of businesses from just "trading" their stuff with each other. Owner 1 buys items worth x from Owner 2. Owner 2 busy items worth x from Owner 1. They were able to boost their Pokemon without losing money. What we need is an alternate system that doesn't raise prices, but stops the situation above from happening.

I think that it would be a good idea for ASB to hit the ol' reset button. It would probably attract members and even out the board for people.
