If they were really trying to eliminate the "quality paradox", they are not doing a good job of it.
When I first started playing, it took a long time for me to understand that what I am selling isn't what the customer is buying. Its a dumb system frankly, probably only there because they couldn't figure out how to make high quality items desirable. I think finding some way to getting rid of it would be a net plus.
But it should involve undesirable products not selling, rather than undesirable products selling for a different price than the producer specified it be sold for.
Having better quality lead to increased profit margins via being able to buy cheaper supplies rather than using the paradox to artificially support selling at a higher price is a really weird way to go about things, if that is truly what they are shooting for. I wish they'd tell us.
