Enact a new rule, “£100 Profit”:-

If a Seller’s Profit is at least £100 higher than every other Seller, that Seller has achieved victory.

In the rule “Flea Market”, replace “A Seller may take a Good to the Flea Market” with:-

An Experienced Seller may take a Good to the Flea Market

...and replace “The Broker or any Seller may respond to a Flea Market post specifying an Offer in Pounds that he is willing to give for the Good.” with:-

The Broker or any Experienced Seller may respond to a Flea Market post specifying an Offer in Pounds that he or she is willing to give for the Good.

To the end of the first paragraph of that rule, add:-

A Seller is Inexperienced if they unidled or joined the game within the previous five days; otherwise they are Experienced.

A victory condition and the closure of a boring loophole.

for Without the Experienced classifier, someone could recruit a couple of friends to buy their junk for $50 per item to catapult themself into victory. This fix does not completely prevent this scam, but at least it’ll force them to jump the extra hurdle (and it lets them know that we know that this loophole exists, and that they won’t be regarded as particularly insightful or original if they do execute it).
