This is a great idea, especially for those, who just want to "relax" and avoid any challenge by playing an interactive screensaver.

I think I'm going to put a little effort into understanding better the states and what drives prices how, seems like a good time to do now.
I'd normally go to Inara to check the best sell system, but that always feels like cheating and takes me (literally) out of the game. And with 3bn+ in cash it's not like I need the best prices either.
I don’t see what the problem is, the station buying far above average is the refinery port in boom, the tourist station is still selling at a good price. I checked stock levels this morning at both ports, no idea where you got the demand from.
Bottom line, the only nerf is to EDDB/Inara drones that put no thought into where to sell. For everyone else we get a boost in profits if you put the work in.
Refinery in Boom + Civil Lib + Pirate Attack
Tourism in Investment + Civil Lib + Pirate Attack
Tourism and Refinery are both import economies for Void Opals.

And? The one paying more is in boom..
The one in boom pays 1.4m
The one in Investment would normally pay 1.6m, for that state combination.
Its still the same 3 that make stations pay highest but Boom is having other side effects when combined with just two of the three state effects...
So for now there are 4 effects in play... post jan patch...
shame theres no tool for looking up systems that are effected by multi states at the same time... (or is there, no realy if any of the third party site do that I would like to know)

I am going on the current implementation - after testing with various ports, to get the highest payouts - Boom state (extraction or refinery)
Have also noticed that pirate attack is not necessary anymore.
Sure, but that's not what the change is meant to be.
Emphasis there on "Markets ... will offer less as demand is met".
Understand you might be observing different prices resulting from different state combinations, but this is not what the change was announced as, and the advertised change (that markets will offer less as demand is met) is clearly not the case.
As already mentioned, I have been monitoring demand at a number of stations, all working normally. If you have found anomalies, bug report it. Bottom line, there are many stations where you can get a good sale price, and it all looks much more logical now.
The only criteria I see- Boom state, refinery, demand for the item
Am at work now, the station I originally quoted had a demand. I’ll take a look at your stats when I get home tonight.

Cheers - what I meant was I never bothered to read up about system states and what they do exactly. I would love to be able to be less reliant on 3rd party tools as I don't have any particular goal to grind towards these days, and wouldn't mind using just in-game information to find stations with reasonably decent markets. Not sure if that's really possible as I think there's a distance limit involved? And most better paying markets are usually at least 70-150ly away from me.
OK, so I've flown around now and taken a look, and you're right. Things do seem to be working now; it just took a lot longer than expected for the prices to settle in.
The specific market I was checking (Oho Bajo, Herrington Colony) post patch showed demand 0, sell price 1.4 million straight after the patch dropped.
I then went to bed, 8 hours later, checked again, price was still the same. Have just gone and checked that now after work 15 hours later, same demand, but now 500k. All checks were done in-game.
tl;dr looks like some markets adjusted immediately to the patch, others took over 10 hours to adjust.
I agree, but this is nothing new and not related to mined commodities. Same thing has been happening with e.g. military grade fabrics in boom state.
