From what I've seen, the plort market in Slime Rancher is extremely unstable. If you happen to sell a lot of ports in one day, the price can decrease by a COLOSSAL amount, and take an extremely long time to balance back out.
Thats why I think that the market should work differently.
If you sell a certain number of plorts in one day, say, maybe 25 or so, the market price for them should slowly decrease by 5% for every 25 plorts after that. So if you sold 125 plorts in one day, the sell price for that plort would decrease by 25%. The sell price should then rise by 15% for every following day, stopping at 0%.
However, it should also be possible to increase the price of a plort by selling many plorts of a different type. For example, if you sell a bunch of pink plorts one day, every other plort should have their sell prices increased by 1% the next day. The sell prices for every plort would decrease by 5% each day after, until it reached 0%.
I'm not providing numbers for my second suggestion because I feel as though it would be too complicated to understand.
