The forces of Supply and Demand keep prices within the limits of what players are willing and able to pay. An alternative, overpriced store will not magically cause players to suddenly be willing and able to pay a higher price.
I assure you, marketeers are already fleecing you for every penny they can. This suggestion would not cause marketeers to be able to raise prices.

I don't even know how they could fairly deterime what 2x the market price would be. A fixed price wouldn't take the ebb and flow of supply and demand into account, and I don't see the devs selling something in an npc store without a fixed price.
And I'm sorry but I'm very cynical about players greed.
Sum this up in one sentense.
the devs built the market and they wont kill the market.

OK, but fixed-price vendors don't kill the market. We already have fixed-price vendors for common IO's, and those have a huge throughput on the market.

poeple sell SOs/DOs/TOs on the market for badges and because they have the potential to get more money off the market than from selling to the venders, people will want to sell on the market because selling to vendors is very bad option for most cases (generic IOs usually sell better to venders is one case that fit the norm)|

set IOs sell for MUCH lower prices to vendors than the market which poeple will still sell stuff on the market because vendors dont give you anything for the set IOs (rare stuff is like 5k and purples are 10k inf at vendors while generic IOs sell for 75k-150k a pop to vendors but sell for half that on the market)
