Explain to me how that makes sense? It seems like you're saying two inapposite things. Also, an economist would look at the long-term par value of an item, not the immediate turn-over, in order to maximize profit. See Citizen1080 supra

I am a graduate student and MSU(Michigan State) and I actually teach Microeconomics. Let me try to explain it more explicitly.
Option 1: Trade fungi tunic for manastone. Cost=1 fungi tunic + time to do 1 transaction. Benefit = 1 manastone
Option 2: Sell fungi tunic for 240k. Buy manastone for 180k. Cost= 1 fungi tunic + time to do 2 transactions. benefit= 1 manastone + 60k
Thus option 2 is better unless the time of one transaction is greater than 60k for you.
Long term consequences of both trades are the same, the only difference is that with option 2 you have extra platinum than can be invested.
Edit: Stinkum gets it
