That making an offer thing. Is that for selling as well? Making the first one to post have an advantage in both buying AND selling? Geeze. There is room for abuse in that one either way...

Market Assesment 4:4=$100
OneGuy offers one commerce and sets a minimum price of $70
SecondGuy offers two commerce and sets a minimum price of $0
ThirdGuy offers one commerce and sets a minimum price of $40
The turn is closed. Final D:S=4:8=$50
OneGuy does not sell his commerce at this price so he is taken out of the equation. New final D:S=4:7=$57
SecondGuy and Thirdguy now sell their commerce at $57.
So, it does not matter when you post at all. You will always get the D:S price unless you did not want to sell against such a low price. In that case you are taken out of the supply factor, which makes it no longer possible to influence the price as Epistax described is possible with the current system.
Edit: Unorthodox, I was preparing this post and when returned saw your selling example. I hope the above clarifies that too. If not, I will go into that further (tomorrow, I guess. Its getting late and I have some other things to do).
Ghengis,
I like the idea of "worker" auctions. I suggest we make them use 1 food instead of 0.5. 0.5 will always give a problem at uneven numbers. I suppose we can sell them to eachother? Might be fun.
I do not yet see the advantage of submarkets but do not mind using them either. It certainly will complicate things for the banker. Did you realise that?

Limiting supply to the city tile is to drastic, in my opinion. It means that default prices will be something like 20/2=$1000. With everybody selling everything they still sell at about $100, which is to high in respect to the price of the land (and the buildings but they can still be adapted). I think the conversion buildings proposed will completely solve the demand/supply problem. Don't you?
