Profiting wasn't working...than it was
I bought 40 Phase Arrays from Dau N-2 and brought them down to Azek C-14(because the daily trade report said they's sell for alot there). But when I get there, the profit made and price bought at and all thats stuff just wasn't showing up in the commoidties>sell tab. So, I went into the old interface, it still doesn't work, then I go back to get more Phase Arrays, I come back, and it works with the cargo in my ship, but the cargo in the station still doesn't show the profit made.

First shipment in station not working:

Then I unloaded the cargo from the ship into the station and checked the commidties>sell tab again:

And it works! What the heck was going on, it drove me nuts!
EDIT: I just realized that something is very wrong, I did not buy the phase arrays at 881 like the 3rd screen shot shows.....i'm so confused. It couldn't be a combined price either, because both times I bought the cargo from the same station.

What it looks like to me is that the 40x in the station were purchased for 0c and then when you moved the 40x from your ship into the station, the purchase price averaged.
40x @ 1761c + 40x @ 0c = 80x @ 881c
1761/2 = 881.5 credits.
When you had the first 40x did you jettison them and then pick them up again? If so, then the purchase price for those items would get reset to 0c.

Opps....yes I did jettison by accident in C-14 before I docked, and went back and picked them up and then docked.
This was driving me crazy, thanks for the quick reply.
P.S. Is this a bug? Shouldn't it still show profit for picked up cargo, by showing paid 0 and profit being the price the station is going to pay for the item? That would make sense to me.
Also, maybe if you buy cargo and jettison it, and pick it back up,say before leaving the sector, it's price shouldn't get reset to 0, so this doesn't confuse other people.
