How do i know what the most expensive ware is?

[Benzin]

If i want to know what is the ware that currently pays more (has the highest buying price) on the market, galaxy wide, how do i do it?
Likewise, if i want to know the cheapest ware to buy?

thanks

X-3 it's was spaceweed and spacefuel trading, but limit number and too many so called "law" was not allow" Used to be sunflower and oilnonstop petty good profile in very, very large super friegther and enery cell (cheap yes, but large number and everywhere want it, it's make profit steadly but as most expensive is not right question, but real question is that what ware that make steady profit in long term?

Yeah the trade interface can be super missleading. It sorts by VOLUME with no regard for price.

So a lot of the time you see 3 dot buy and/or sell, but it turns out it's just a trade station just bulk buying/selling it with a 1 cr difference.

With how awkward the pan/zoom system is, they are often practically fighting the UI to find real deals.

Steady profits would from anything would be easier if the overall economy was less wonky.

For example, in THEORY buying/selling, or even producing low tier middle products like spice should be a "Stable" product because it's a required ingredient for every single food/drug except space fuel. (But isn't bloatded by zero effort E cells or ice mining for water).

In THEORY, while the profits would be low, it would be consistent becayse of the above mentioned "Literally everything people eat, smoke, or inject into themselves (except space fuel) uses this, we can't lose!" concept... except it doesn't work out that way thus far.

That requires a stable galactic economy process. Where you see stuff like "Oh wow nobody is even buying MEAT, and the only one selling it is... a HAT Free Port? NOT the Argon cow factories?"

And if food and drugs are not getting used enough to have a demand for their universal ingredient, what hope does going into an expensive tech product?

Like realizing no shipyard or wharf in the universe not owned by xenon/khaak is buying claytronics. even after you've seen the Xenon run a train of ships into friendly sectors several times since 1.3 (bonus insult, Claytronics production is one of the most expensive blueprints to buy legit. in the 20 million range.)

Just a HOP Paranoid trading station buying it fot 4477 (and selling it for 4478)... Oh wait. The average price is 4478.

See opening comment about how the dot measurement is useless.

I really miss the Trades list we had in XRebirth. Where at a glance, i could see each & every single ware sold/bough in the galaxy (provided i had sufficient trade offer updates of course), and see their price, quantities, price adjustment, etc.

I really wish/hope egosoft inplements something like that in X4, soon.
