Please insert a tier market lock e.g. after the 3rd trade attempt. Thus, the market remains clean as far as overpriced prices are concerned and, above all, many try to get rid of their inbred animals for a lot of money. Today someone tried 4 times to sell their inbred flamingo with 0% fertility for 1200 survival points. At some point it just gets annoying to put this in again and again.

That's what you get with a player run market, simply don't buy them. And btw there's no way whatsoever to tell if an animal was actually inbred just by looking at the stats. You can get 0% fertility without inbreeding as well and an all 100% animal with inbreeding. You never know if someone will by an animal so forbidding people from putting them up simply because you don't agree with their pricing is not gonna happen.
Most players also reach a point where they simply don't care how much any animal is anymore because they got so many CC in the bank it really doesn't matter what you pay. So just leave those expensive animals for these players and get the cheaper ones, you can even set the price filters so you don't have to look at what you think is over priced for a species.

Also true. It's a genomes thing, so if those are compatible low stat animals can have really high stat offspring. And yeah, they can still breed. The game doesn't see 0% fertility as infertile, it simply means they'll have less offspring than a high fertility pair. Like 0% Cheetah may have 1 cub while 100% will have 5.
If my critters don't sell after one attempt, maybe two, I just release them. I release too many really valuable animals that way.
Really? Interesting. I'll try it out and see.
I'll be honest. My first reaction was that 1200 cc sounded awfully LOW for a flamingo!
But then I remembered that I play with the stats filters set pretty high, so I typically only see the most expensive animals.
Playing that way probably hurts me twice. It means I'm paying really high prices (but for admittedly really high quality animals). But it probably also means that when I go to sell things, the number that i have in my mind for what that animal is "typically" worth is probably equally inflated -- since all the ones I'm accustomed to seeing are in that higher price range. So people are probably looking at some of my animals for sale with the same reaction as the OP.
On the other hand, the OP is still searching for flamingos -- four hours later!! -- So is that other player's animal actually overpriced? It may not be the one you want, or the price you want to pay. Which is totally fair. But basic supply and demand suggests that if it was actually overpriced you wouldn't still be seeing it. You would have picked up as many of the cheaper, higher quality birds as you needed, and been on your way.
If you didn't buy that other player's flamingo because there happen to be so many cheaper, better flamingos readily available to choose from, then it may indeed be that it's overpriced. But if you're still searching for flamingos four hours later, then I think that's more accurately called bargain hunting or waiting for them to go on sale. Which is totally cool to do. (I do it too in real life!) But not something that we can realistically demand.
