Summary0001303: Sand bags worth less than empty bags
DescriptionThe elves currently at my trade depot have a white sand bag (made of rope reed fiber) that is worth 20 dwarfbucks. Bags in the depot with other types of sand are also worth only 20 dwarfbucks. They also have an empty rope reed bag (no quality, no dye or decorations) that is worth 60 dwarfbucks. It is expected that a sand bag should be worth slightly more than an empty bag, but this is not the case.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationThis was reported in 0001246, but it was closed early because the reporter compared a dyed bag to the sand bags.

These prices are the ones seen from looking at the items in the depot with 't'. The elves want slightly more than their value for them in trade, obviously.

Why is a save useful when you can see this even in the embark screen?
Sand bags are 1 embark point yet the cheapest empty bags (cave spider silk ones) are 7 points. That's a pretty obvious bug right there.

This bug is about sand bags being worth more dwarfbucks than empty bags. Sand bags being more embark points is a different bug. (Or should be, I see it was just closed as duplicate...)
