First off, if this is the wrong place to post this, I apologize.
Second: the prices for items made of special materials don't seem to be calculated correctly on the "special nonmagical items page (page 356). The price for a mithral chain shirt is listed at 1,800gp, but I come up with 1,564.5gp (45sp shirt price + 1,200gp cost of a 2 bulk master mithral item + 360gp master item cost = 1,564.5gp).
Now I'm sure I'm missing something and that the price in the boom is actually correct, but I can't find out what it is for the life of me. Could someone help me figure this out? What am I missing that would add 235.5gp to the price?

This problem doesn't hold true for the Adamantine Battleaxe nor the cold iron warhammer. It appears from them you only pay the cost listed on the special material page, since adamantine items are 700gp/bulk, and a battleaxe is one bulk, so that would leave me at 1,200gp for a mithral chain shirt, not 1,800gp.
I could get that number if it was 3 bulk, but it's listed only as 2, so maybe there's a mistake in its bulk, but that would put it on par with heavy armor, or it was calculated as if it was 3 bulk, which I could see accidentally happening. I do wonder which it is, and if that would affect the price of Elven Chain
