Whenever i try to set a price for a cpu, unless it is 4 digits, it wont set as a valid price, and it says

"Your price is too low! you will be loosing money with every unit sold, do you want to continue anyway?"

You can click 'Yes' if you want to sell such a CPU.
Are you playing with mods? What is the price of your CPU?

Hey sorry for the not-very-descriptive bug report, was very tired lol.

No I'm not playing with mods. The issue was that i would build a CPU, and the manufacturing cost would be something like '$54.76', but when I set the selling price nothing would be accepted less than like 110, for example. 

Anything below, and the selling price was highlighted orage in the 'New Hardware' screen, and It wouldn't sell for any profit at all.

Almost as if the manufacturing cost is displaying lower than the actual value for some reason?

$68 should be enough for a CPU that costs $54 to manufacture.
There are hidden costs for balancing purposes. I recommend always adding at the very least $20 (maybe unless you're creating an extremely cheap CPU where you can get away with less) to the manufacturing cost.
If it keeps telling you $110 is not enough, could you provide a screenshot?
