Only one slot in ManaMarket

Hello all,
I wonder why there is only one slot to sell things on the ManaMarket?!
Because it's not that there are a lot of things at the moment to buy. Maybe it could be more if ppl could sell more then one item 
Best regards
Apple.
PS.: Or its only me? Ö.Ö

Because ManaMarket is a player limited to 100 inventory slots and it has to hold stuff which was not sold.
Right now it probably is using like 70/100 slots.

Oh ok. Thank you
Strange that it is not full yet after all those years.

and why the market is not implemented on the server side after all these years?
After all, this game is played only by programmers ;D

Kaspian: Because tmwa code has long passed the "unmaintainable and not expandable blob of mess" threshold long ago XD
(As a fun fact, the new engine doesn't even really require us to implement ManaMarket server-side ─ we could just give more inventory slots to ManaMarket)
For the record, ManaPlus is on the same state, but it cannot be replaced as easily as the server engine. We would have moved already weren't for M+ being unable to agree with server regarding player position.

my first thought was "it can't be that bad"
and then I cloned the repo
then I thought maybe it could be rewritten from scratch
but i found the network package structure ...
and there is not a single line of documentation

this solution sounds simple
and at this point the manamarket is of little use
adding slots would solve the problem
