would it be possible to have a look at the prices markets offer for commodities? as it stands nails are about the only one they buy for more than the price of the metal. I'd like to be able to sell off hoops and hinges and the like so carpenters don't have to wait for someone to be on line, but right now it doesn't make financial sense to do so.

I've exported a list of commodity prices into a CSV format so that I can play with it easily in Excel, and I'm seeing a lot of stuff that needs work, not just hinges and hoops.

I'm also seeing issues with the type of metal being used. And the way things are calculated based purely off their commodity type and not other things such as their weights.

Looks like it's going to be a pretty big project to work on all this. I want to rewrite a large chunk of the way the commodity system works to be more logical.

thank you for looking at it, I'm sure it's a big job, but one i think we'll all be grateful is getting done.
