What if there is a level between face and market price that makes a cp buyer and cp seller happy? That transaction is currently not allowed. It hurts buyers more than sellers.

What I am getting at is that I can always get a better price on kijiji - I sell on cp for less because I want to. Increasing the Max price allowed on cp doesn’t mean I’m going to bump up my price on cp. First, if I ask for market, it probably won’t sell because everything at cp sells at a discount. Second, I could already get a market price today, but I’m leaving money on the table on purpose. I’m not going to price at ceiling just because I can.

Very likely, increasing max price results in more supply for buyers, and reduces prices.

There is nothing wrong with selling the tix wherever, and stating "preference given to CPers - provide your username and I'll PM you there". If you get a response, you know you got the right person. Both buyer and seller win, and CP doesn't need to regulate it.
