do you mean in the area that says "place on market"
this allows you to take your resources and sell them for cheaper than market value, this would in theory undermine the market and cause a crash
The left set changes the percentage of the market value that you will accept (50% of 400 credits is 200 so you get 200 credits for 100 resources instead of 400)
The right set changes how much you are putting on the table at that price (ex. 2000 at 50% of market value)
