[iOS][1.0.19] Selling cargo back at Exchange for profit

Forgot to report this before. Not sure if it's been fixed already.

I was able buy Raw Spice from this Exchange, then sell it back to them at a profit. I repeated this many times until I got bored. The profit margin grew from initial ~$200 gradually rising then plateauing at ~$650. I don't think the Supply Grade was changing, since I didn't take screenshots until after a few rounds.

They must've had a Raw Spice replicator on that farm.

Thanks, took #3464 to investigate.

Yah, I've seen it not infrequently, but it wasn't a big profit, so just ignored to find somewhere better. Should have spoken up tho... thx athios for doing that :-)

Had an idea tho. You risk losing reputation for selling back a planet their own goods within xx turns or xx weeks

Strikes me as hard to know whether those goods were things I bought at your market, or just pirated from some hapless merchant (who maybe bought them from your market, who knows?) I quite frequently dump cargo at a closer market, rather than a better one, because I want to get out there robbing again!

it's just a bug, you shouldn't be able to sell stuff back at a profit
