Same station, different prices?

Hi.
Until now I thought the prices of commodities are the very same for every player on a specific station at the same time. Looks like I was wrong, but the difference looks illogical to me, so I'd like to ask what is the reason for this.

Me and my friend were doing the same trade run, we docked at the same station, luckily in the same instance in open play, we saw each other docking in.
We were talking about the profit and prices, what seemed to have difference suprisingly. We never experienced this before.

But let the pictures talk. According to the server's clock, we made our screenshots with 9 seconds difference, we both from our point of view.

If you look at the quantity of Gold you can see that there was exactly the double at him (added by his cargo).

And another thing.. Later, in the next run I had the normal or usual quantity, and he had the half, so it turned opposite.

Space is a strange playground, right?

Not sure why quantity would be different, but devs have said that (by design) prices of a good can be affected if you have that good in your cargo hold, and with differing amounts, then you would see different values.

Although i presume in your case this was not the case?
