You'd be surprised. I'm buying Venison at 3 Tin Crowns each, while Black Hive Emporium is buying Gold Nuggets at 5 Iron Crowns each (50 Tin Crowns). Assuming intestines are valueless, that's only 5.5 DDD per gold nugget. It's the 'demand' part of 'supply & demand'. Something doesn't need to be that rare if people want it enough.

This is the case for pretty much any trader. Why trade only to break even, when you can make a profit instead? It wouldn't be worth all the effort if it were only equal-value trades. Do you think real-life stores are selling their goods for the price they bought them at?
