I post the following as a thread to provoke some thought about the pricing of items and the manner in which they are assigned to bases.
The data on commodities in the data files is huge and rightly so considering that buying and selling at good rates is key to the success of the trader.
So if someone could explain just how prices are set up and arranged in the various bases it would be a bonus to folk like me who are interested in the finer details of bases and their mechanics.
