Or have more accurate valuation techniques. "Last settlement price" is a really, really, bad way to ascertain "value". They should be looking at the market depth of demanded prices, etc.

Well, it wasn't last settlement price, it was average. It's just that nobody traded in these items so completing even a single transaction practically sets the price.
