It would be pretty useful to be able to buy up excess luxuries and then trade them yourself. For example, if I as the Romans have made contact with the Greeks, but you (the Babylonians) have not, I could buy your extra spices and trade them to the Greeks, ideally making a tidy profit along the way. Or if you were landlocked and didn't have a sea route to another civilization. Or (the most interesting one) if you had an embargo against me, but through a third party you acquire my oil. That would be really cool.
No doubt Firaxis thought of this idea while in the design phase, but discarded it for some reason. I would be interested to know what that reason was.
