Bazaar trader broken or cheating...

I was just trying to sell stuff on the bazaar and noticed he was giving me different than what he offered. If I click on ORE for example, he says he'll give me 31 gold for it. When I click on sell, it says "Are you sure you want to sell ORE for 21 gold?" Last time I checked, 21 < 31.

The price changes as the Bazaar gets fewer or more of an item. What probably happened is that somebody else sold Ore to the Bazaar while you had the menu open. That would lower the price you are offered, and the confirm screen told you as much.

Prices in the Bazaar (buying and selling) raise and lower depending on how many of item are in stock. Somebody must have unloaded a bunch of ore before you completed your sale.

No, I clicked on sell, it said the wrong price. I backed out, it said the right price. I clicked again, it said the wrong price. One was not the same as the other at all.

just like real life supply and demand play a big part in the bazaar

I understand. When you open the menu. the Bazaar will give you the price at the exact time you opened the menu. If the supply goes up or down in the meantime, you may get a different price. You can open and close the popup window all day, and the price probably won't match the first one you saw on the screen.

If you're offered a different price than what's on the screen, you can refresh the price list. You can do that by clicking on the category (Regeants in your case). This will bring up the new prices, which may be what the game offered you in the popup window.

When this happens somebody else bought the items before you.

Don't forget, you aren't the only person there. If someone is unloading a bunch of stuff at the same time as you, then the prices will vary greatly from the offered price. If you want full price, just try again later. That's what I do, or sometimes if you hit the "sell more" button, it'll give you full price.

The Bazaar is a wonderfully-populated place. Items go up in money and down in money because the amount of that item has either raised, or sunk.
