Yeah, I've thought this for ages. The solution I came up with probably isn't practical -- effectively, have NPCs watch the auction house, and whenever items are availalbe for less than a particular price, they buy them all up, and whenever market value goes over a particular price (or availability drops to 0), NPCs start listing the items. (Just don't have the NPCs use buyouts, so players always get "dibs" over NPCs instead of competing.)

This would let Blizzard set a range in between which the price of every BoE item would fluctuate, never going below the low or above the high. IMHO, it would improve the game, but I can't see Blizzard ever doing it.
