Hmmm.... 2 diamonds = diamond sword. So I can get a free stick from you!
And 1 diamond = 1 jukebox.
Although 16 gunpowder = 2 diamonds looks nice.

Also, nice idea.

Hmm, I think I'll go farm some obsidian...

But, tbh, the Unb 3 Eff 4 tools going for 28,800 is a lot and probably the easiest thing to get.

What do all these numbers mean anyway?

I really like this, kaya, but I'm upset with the gunpowder price . Surely you'd agree that it's ridiculously expensive? Schematix sells his for three diamonds a stack. If you make the price more reasonable, you'll have all my resources.

No need to get upset   That's why i posted this up here.... for feedback?   These aren't my set prices, as you'd figure out if your fully read the first post.  Anyway, I adjusted the price for gunpowder to 4 dia per stack, and the prices for a lot of other items too.  You guys are comparing everything to diamond (which is perfect), but I seem to have devalued diamond since I have no trouble getting it.   

Also I simplified the list by getting rid of the sell prices, just know that not all items I'll take as payment.    And I got rid of some Items I just don't see any purpose in trading or worrying about.

I tend to use diamond as the standard because it is rare, has a relatively even distribution, non-renewable, high value, and is useful.

Nothing else has really popped out as a good "standard" item.

Other thoughts:
I take it you aren't buying maps? That seems somewhat silly.
Above is somewhat of an explanation on why maps cost less than compasses.
Sapling price seems high.
Cookies and coco I would expect a slightly higher value, because of their absurd rarity atm (Even if they are impractical)
Interesting slime ball price. Maybe a tad lower? Slimes are unfortunately very situational. Some people get almost no encounters (floating island), others get insane (caving in slime chunks).
Obsidian... not sure what to think about this. Either non-renewable lava or epicly slow with portals. In small numbers, molding might be easier. Takes time to mine, although much easier with Eff V.
No sandstone?
I assume tools are fully repaired. Price would scale down with damage.

Finally, crafting downwards. Map and compass show this. When you turn a valuable item into a relatively useless item. For example, sand and sandstone. Sand can be turned into sandstone but not visa versa. Sand can also be turned into glass. Therefore I would expect sandstone to be worth less than 4 sand, because of the decrease in uses. For convenience, however, might work to keep them the same. It allows people to "uncraft" certain things. Like uncraft a diamond sword back to diamonds, etc. Why would you? Accidental crafting? Overcrafting? Have a lot of iron helmets from zombie farming but want rails?

Cookies are massively over priced. I have 20 cocoa beans, so I could make 160 cookies and get 160 diamonds from you? Eh? Btw, I really do have 20 cocoa beans.

Edit: Changed under priced to over priced, lol.

Remenicent of my degenerate crafting idea.

Thoughts: Coco beans have a one time use on sheep, for collecting brown wool. Dye one sheep, breed it until you get another brown offspring, then infinite brown wool.
Crafting them into cookies, however, means that you get a useless item from something of higher value.
So I would say have coco higher price than the other dyes (Because all the others are either renewable or from plentiful lapis), but lower cookie price.
