I tend to go back and forth on this particular topic and probably fall closer to the middle because I can see valid points on both sides of the issue. Different people will have different feelings and opinions about different things, and those differing opinions are all equally valid. I feel we should be able to have a friendly exchange of these differing opinions without attacking one another or tearing down the ideas and feelings of those who have an opinion that differs from our own. That said, I agree that it can be very frustrating when a person who is not on your friends list buys out your stock. I feel this is similar to having strong feelings about people who sell villagers they've received from a free adoption service. When your motive for stocking your market box is to help others, it can be hurtful to find out people are using that to turn a personal profit.
On the flip side of that, I understand that many of my friends don't have the time to play Pocket Camp as much as I do, and some of them need to buy out my shop just so they can play and enjoy the game just like everyone else without having to spend the extra time catching the needed bugs and fish. I'm absolutely fine with friends or even strangers (i.e. people not on my friends list) buying out my market if it helps them in some way. By extension, I can see where a friend or stranger who is struggling to get bells, might buy low price items and resell them simply because they don't have as much time to play as other people, and may not have the bells to craft the furniture, clothing, or amenities they need to progress. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing the motivation behind our friends actions without direct communication. Because of that, I feel we should be more mindful before calling others out publicly for their actions. Also, the person being called out is not given the same opportunity to explain their perspective on the matter unless they are an active member of the forum. Ultimately, I don't see any harm to adding options to give everyone more control over your market boxes, but I hope we can be more mindful about calling someone out publicly or tearing down the opinions of others because we feel those opinions are wrong.
