UI suggestion - show last buy/sell price for a resource

from Offworld Forums

When trying to optimize buy/sell to get an edge in the early stages of a match, I found myself many times writing down the price I bought a resource so I could remember it and estimate how much I would make if I sold it at the current market price. 

It would be interesting to show the price of your last transaction for that resource and the difference to the current price, so you can quickly estimate how much money you're making or losing if you go ahead with the transaction. Maybe the hover popup for the buy/sell buttons is a good place (show last buy in the sell button, and viceversa).

The price you paid when you bought something should not factor into your decision to sell it.

Agreed, make sure you aren't letting that dictate your decisions in game. Further reading from lifehack on the sunk cost fallacy

I'm not saying it should factor into your decision. 

I see this as a metric of your performance in a transaction, that has more granularity than the total amount of cash you have.

Like a mini graph of the value of a resource.
