Quick question: why would anyone price their goods for the market higher than the private market prices? I saw someone had priced their oil at $1440/barrel when the private market oil is $400/barrel.

Is there a reason for this? The only thing I can think of is to protect goods in case you get attacked. Am I right about that?

that oil is stored on market in that case if its needed and also sometimes oil gets bought out so few million barrels at 1440 is alot money.
