You can only take one of each resource using the market. Sometimes it's better to take the two clay offering rather than take three turns getting the clay and other resources from the market.
To expand on this - and make sure you're not missing a rule - you normally cannot use the Marketplace twice-in-a-row. You cannot claim a building unless it is empty (even if it is your marker that's on the building.) That's why Mister Allen mentions 3 turns:
Turn 1 - Claim Marketplace
Turn 2 - Claim something else to move your marker off the Marketplace
Turn 3 - Claim Marketplace (if it hasn't been already claimed since you moved your marker off of it)
The one way around this 3-turn sequence would be to:
Turn 1 - Claim Marketplace
Turn 2 - Buy the Marketplace (which removes your marker) and then claim it.
