thanks. i forgot that the 2$ the squid earns in this case is for finding and lining up willing buyers at the set price. there is no implicit requirement for the brokers to support the price.
after all if the squid has done its job well, the mkt price shouldn't fall (if it does) too far from the offer price. i am sure these things go into building the reputation of the brokers impacting future deals.
