A quick definition of clerk of the market:

Term: Clerk of the Market

Definition: A clerk of the market was a person who used to oversee public markets. They made sure that people were using the right weights and measures, measured land, and helped settle disputes between people who were buying and selling things. However, this job doesn't exist anymore because there are now laws that regulate weights and measures.

A more thorough explanation:

A clerk of the market was a person who oversaw a public market. Their responsibilities included:

  • Witnessing oral contracts
  • Inquiring into weights and measures
  • Measuring land
  • Settling disputes between people dealing there

For example, if two people made a verbal agreement to trade goods at the market, the clerk of the market would witness the agreement to ensure that both parties upheld their end of the deal. If there was a dispute over the weight or measurement of a product, the clerk of the market would investigate and settle the issue.

However, the office of the clerk of the market has become obsolete due to various statutes regulating weights and measures. Today, there are government agencies and organizations that oversee public markets and ensure fair trade practices.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: they blaimed it on their IT team for not updating it as out of stock when I paid but like buying something in stock in September then being told I won't get it until mid January is pretty wild. I do not hunt anymore but their mistake would of caused me to miss the entire season. If it wasn't so hard to get left handed ARs I would of gone elsewhere
