Average job pay is around $4.80, it takes ~7 workers to produce one box, making it about $33.00 to make one unit. How are people affording to list these for < $30 on the exchange??
Some possible reasons:

- Selling at a loss to force out competition
- Those medicine boxes on the exchange were made when wages were cheaper
- Some workers are working for cheap
- Bad math

Well I guess I will just horde my medical supplies and hope these cheap boxes stop showing up.

Considering the actual economy and the average person, methinks bad math.

Thats called a buying opertunity! :)

Anytime you see items listed far below the cost to produce, or even break even in relation to labor costs. you should buy and relist it at a more reasonable price.
Same with food packages. Wages are around 5 USD, one worker produces 2 packages meaning the price of a food package should be at least $2.5, but it's much closer to $2.

That's because, Supply > Demand currently.
