I like this. I think it would be useful.
A couple of suggestions for services
Mercenaries.
Soldiers cut off from their units (whether unintentionally or not) could use the market as a place to hire themselves out as guns for hire, e.g. to merchants organising a convoy. Could be a way of introducing a new pc into a campaign
Labour force
A local strongman might have gangs of workers whose services he is willing to hire out for whatever reason, e.g. manual labour, and uses the market to try and find prospective customers. Could be legit or not.
