Average prices are based on long-term established averages (the so-called arithmetic mean). The average quantity is based only on quantity values greater zero. Availability gives a percentage whether a good is available in this system. Please note that these are statistical data. GalCop regulations expressively forbids the broadcasting of actual prices beyond the current system.

Ship's Manual

Zaragete has an unusual political system. Political rule is technically absolute, and the leader appoints their successor. However, unlike other dictatorships, the term of office is strictly limited to one planetary year. Should the planet make a trading profit in that year, the outgoing leader may keep a percent of the profit, generally making them extremely rich. If the planet does not make a trading profit, the outgoing leader will be executed. Choice of appointment varies therefore between friends and enemies of the current leader, depending on economic projections. The government is solely responsible for interplanetary trade and diplomacy, with all domestic affairs carried out by private businesses and charities.

The Traders Almanach

In a low-cash situation, this is my advice: Whatever you buy, haul them to Gexein or Usbira. And I would buy food containers, vodka bottles and clothes in that order for this trip. The first goods sell there usually with a gain of 65 to 75%.
