It's not really destroyed, though. The players can turn around and sell the new items for profit. The only way to prevent that is to have an unlimited stock. If you have an unlimited stock, then you might as well be planning for the next economic crash. Since this is Graal and not the real world, you'd have to find a balance between unlimited stock of basic items and advanced items. For instance, a basic handgun could have an unlimited stock, but an AK47 shouldn't. You don't want to destroy supply-and-demand, otherwise you have socialism, and then you're just a dirty communist.
