What to check before trading
Reprice both raw inputs and finished stock before committing cash to a batch. A low material quote does not establish the output value of a furnace recipe.
Record the pre-event and current quote for the same item and condition. The event-price comparison tool measures your observed difference; it does not attribute every change to Material Surplus.
Avoid turning a headline into a rule
Keep a dated note of the news item and the offer you observed. Other conditions can change a transaction; a category-level signal is not a promise that a named buyer purchases every item in that category. These are community-reference facts, not an independently replayed event or verified full-release data.
