Yes, the price you name has *currently* no effect when noone is willing to pay it. But my concern was that if you have more than 500 points, even if only as a NomicHome, and at any time we have a rule that allows you to exchange fixed-price objects (for example the bank must give you the points or something), you would have won the game. That's why I stopped all modifications which named a price higher than 500 points.

If there is no fixed price, there won't be any problems like that. And you can still request 10000 points if you're asked for a price :-)
