But it would be interesting if there was a way to sell off surplus items, even if at a major discount.

Actually, that's what happens when you trade something for money. I've traded excess stuff all the time for money, but I usually take a bath on the price. If I'm deparate enough for cash, or just have too much of something else, I'll see if I can find a buyer.

Barbarossa- I can't reply to design questions, but, a few answers come to mind.

#5. They all cost the same number of points, I'm pretty sure.

#6. Quickly, French diplomats demanded bribes before they'd negotiate with the US over some serious disputes. It resulted in a non-declared mini-war.
