I bought 1000 Accessories at the value of $34 it should have costed me $68 dollars for 1 unit equalling $68000 but I found I paid $315100 dollars for the product. I have check all my orders of my units and that was the only thing I was buying at the time.
I also bought 1000 Small Appliances for value of $19 dollars a unit which should have been $38 dollars each equalling $38000 but paid $167130 for this product I found this today I have been being buying stuff from Cities when they have been under 20 dollars a unit and selling them where I can make profit so far it is the only time I found this to happen.
Is there a reason for this.

Ok one important question - Where did you have the buy order?
Bear in mind that it is most likely that the buy order took several turns to complete which means that after each purchasing turn the price of what you buy goes up. This can be quite treacherous if you are not ready for it - buying from cities can be expensive.
If someone else is also buying at the same time the effect would be even more pronounced.
Having said that I would really enjoy having a simple way of actually knowing what I paid for some of the buy orders I put out too...

In Sol System the prices bounce back from the extremes very quickly as part of keeping the sol system stable for new players.
You can see exactly what every unit bought or sold product for, Under Corporate >> Accounting >> Change dropdown to Buy/Sell . . You should see every units transactions, The demand, Price per and total. This info is eventually going to be put under "More Info" tab of the units also.

Looking below just would like to understand the principles for buying from cities and why the extra cost involved? Paid $160 for 1 unit of Small Appliances and paid 340 for 1 unit of Accessories. A factor my cost of $16 and $34 x 10 at the city of Bonnie and Otis instead of the factor x 2
| 7983 |  | FRI BTIN FLGS | Otis | Buy | Small Appliances | 429 | 16 | -160 | -68,640 |
| 7993 | | FRI BTIN FLGS | Bonne | Buy | Accessories | 12 | 34 | -340 | -4,080 |

The tier 1 products, the raw m materials you can mine, are worth the same value as the demand percentage. So if demand is 230% for Corn, it sells for 230 a unit. The Tier 2 products, components like Polymers, are worth 2.5x the demand %, Tier 3 or End Products are worth 5x what their demand percentage is.
So, you are buying Small Appliances at 16% demand, Small Appliances are worth 5x what their demand is (Raw materials are 1x, components 2.5x) 16 * 5 = 80 and buying is double the price 80*2 = 160 per unit . 429 units at 160 = 68,640.
When you sell those somewhere else for lets say 150% demand you'll pull down 5 * 150= 750 per unit . 750 * 429 = 321,750. You'll make about +350% profit on that =)
