Here's another one:

It doesn't make any sense that the going price could be millions above my listing without my item selling.  I happened to have another one so, for science, I decided to list it for 1 and see what happened:

Then, after 10 or so minutes of cropping screenshots and imguring to prepare this post, it occurred to me to see if the half mil price I received appeared in recent transactions.  It did.

Along with several other transactions that did not appear minutes before. 

 

It looks like my first price query fetched data that was several hours old, based on the dates before and after midnight.  (Does anyone know what time zone the servers use to determine midnight?)  But even if that's the case, it makes no sense that my 1.55M wasn't the lowest-priced unit in a market where prices rose to 4M.  Another option is that the server fetched data for a different item that was high-priced but slow moving, and had really only sold one unit today, 7/4.

 

What am I seeing here?  Is there a non-error related explanation I'm missing?
