The game I played for the past few years, Atlantica Online, has the type of market you're talking about. Although, it still encourages competitive pricing, though it's no where near the scale that Maple has it at. Atlantica even has 2 different methods of selling things, but not like trading/MTS in Maple. In Atlantica (3D game), there are dozens of towns. In every single town, you can access the market for free. If an item is tradable, it can be registered on this market, it can be searched for, and bought all without any cost. It does however have a tax system too, but instead of making you not get the full amount of money when someone buys something from you, it takes money from you when you register an item for sale on the market. The tax varies per town because towns can be controlled by guilds, but it's almost always 1% tax. So, if you register 1 item for 100m, it takes 1m from you. Also if you register 10 items for 10m (totaling 100m, if it sells), it takes 1m from you. There isn't a currency cap in the game like Maple, so you can sell things for far larger amounts than 2.1b. Things go up to 70b, even 100b occasionally in value there. Meaning when you register something for say, 100b, you lose 1b, if the tax is 1%.

The other method of selling in the game is something called "My Store". It's similar to our free market in where you have your own store, can only sell a certain amount of items, but the difference is that there is no tax levied when registering or buying something for "My Store". For a while, this used to be the preferred method of selling things, since there was no tax, but that changed last year when they made it so the market that is available in every town inter-server. Meaning if someone registered something for sale on X server, it could be bought from Y or Z server.

Another thing with Atlantica is that 99% of things bought from the item mall (their version of the CS), is tradable in-game. It's always been like that since it was first introduced.
