strange one. the actual maths = $260,442,000 so it'll have to be rounding errors. how rounding errors occur on an item that has to be put for sale at a unit price..? ok, I've an idea... here's a theory:
the person selling has to put it for sale at unit price for set units (150,000 tanks for $490), and there can't be rounding errors in whole numbers.
the only slightly complicated item is the tax @ 1.06, so it's likely to be in the way the tax is calculated/added.
in fact, it seems to me tax is added twice.. the person selling is charged tax on sales, and the person buying is charged tax on market purchases...
