The merchant GOT EXPENSIVE?

I usually send away the merchant approximately 3 times in a day (since he started arriving 6 hours apart)

Just now, had to give him: 1 Emerald, 1 Finished board, 1 Orcher, 1 Brick, 2 Leather, 1 Beam, 5 Scrapers, 4 Clay bowls, 1 Flour, Corn!!

Usually/ Previously it used to be: Emerald, Coal, Clay pots, Spoons, Corn, Tomatoes, Stakes, Flour, Scrapers - like (comparably) less resource consuming items
