I follow you people for a long time on /r/darknetplan! How are things going?
As tmacro noted, Offst friends put credit limits on each other. Therefore Bob will not be able to buy forever. This is not really a bug, Bob is out of credits and shouldn't be able to buy more things until he gets new ones.
How does Bob gets credits is another question. In a normal economy Bob would have to get to work or exchange something to get credits.
I agree with you that initially in a small network this could be a problem, because maybe nobody in the network wants to exchange something with Bob for credits. But if this kind of credit system is widely use, I hope this won't be a problem.
