I'm glad my info has been helpful for some! ^-^
I originally went through everything just for my own curiosity since I was also wondering if and how prices were changing (I'm guilty of having "complained" in the past when certain Pai items got more expensive, was almost going to this time too before I got curious and decided to look into it xD), and then figured why not post my findings to try to ease some worries since I found that it just seems like prices are fluctuating because of item amounts and types.
