Hello Sir Blubby !
You can modify a certain cfg or con file (at the startup folder, but I don't remember the name). Just search the word "market" without quotes.
You can also search for the Advanced Market HC card at the techtree and work around it.
Hope I helped you.

Hello SkyOne578
I gave it a try and it actually worked.
Thank you for the information with the startup folder.
For anyone who might be interested in editing the buying/selling values here is what you need to do.
1. Go to the startup folder and look for a file called
gamey.cfg (the x/y stands for the addons for AoE3).
2.After step one locate this part
marketTradeFactor 0.25
marketCostDeltaBuy 1
marketCostDeltaSell 1 <--These are the default values.
marketCostMin 25
marketCostMax 200
tributePenalty=0.10
3.Now you can start editing these numbers.
marketCostDeltaBuy 1
marketCostDeltaSell 1
I believe these 2 lines will increase/decrease the price when good are purchased/sold. If these 2 numbers are 0 there will be no increase/decrease of prices.
marketCostMin 25
marketCostMax 200
These 2 lines will tell the game how high/low the prices can get. 25 being the lowest and 200 being the highest amount of gold.
marketTradeFactor 0.25 I not really sure how to explain but if this number stays 0.25 then buying will cost 100 gold and selling will only give you 75 gold.
tributePenalty=0.10 For this line I was not able to find out what it does.
I have only tested it without advanced market upgrade so I am not sure if this will get influenced by any other upgrade whatsoever.

tribute penalty is the 'removed' resource when you send resource to your team mates (I think it's called 'player summary', can be accessed by pushing f6). For example, if you send 500 food to Napoleon, you will lose 50 food. But I'm not totally sure if that's true or not.
