Because you can copy over plat every 8 hours there really isn't much of an economy. On a good day I see maybe 10 people selling in the Bazaar, and the prices are pretty cheap so i'm thinking people just sell stuff just to be friendly and helpful to people on the server.

People are always calling out loot that is rotting in a zone in General Chat for people to come and get for free. Always see people giving away free stuff in General chat to whoever claims it first. To be truthful I don't think I have seen anyone selling anything in Chat but I have seen people wanting to buy stuff in chat (mostly tradeskill stuff).
