i have noticed several opportunities for kids to learn (and adults to be reminded of) real world lessons in the game and was wondering if anyone else had, and if any parents used these opportunities?

1. Look both ways before you step off the sidewalk. :)

2. There are people who will try to cheat you. there are a whole list of sub-lessons to go with this one.

3. Save your money for what you reeeeeally want.

4. Spelling really is important. :)

5. Help people in need, you never know when you will need help.

there are of course more, i'm wondering what learning/teaching opportunities you have noticed.

By low, sell high...The Bazaar really is like the stock market. You just have to be smart about when to buy or sell to make the Bazaar pay off for you. ;)
