This is another old exploit that exist since the beginning of the game. Here is how you do it:
AI won't give you a good price for something? Just offer them one item, like one iron, or horse or favor. AI will offer you something like 1 or 2 gold. What now? Repeat the deal as many times as you want. AI would effectively maybe give you 9 gold for 30 iron, but you can actually milk them for 60 gold.
 
Do you happen to have a save for this? I'm asking, because I haven't seen it as worse as you describe it recently (and also because such issues are very unlikely to get fixed without one). There are issues with Uranium, which can be traded in charges of 4 for an excessive price ( https://forums.civfanatics.com/thre...for-excessive-prices-60-gold-per-unit.658754/ ) and for other ressources, AIs don't reliably buy the full amount they are principially willing in one trade ( https://forums.civfanatics.com/thre...c-ressource-storage-limit-in-one-deal.658382/ ), but the behaviour you are describing (AI offering just 1 Gold for any amount of ressources) sounds WAI, if they are above their purchase limit. Yes, you can "milk" them then by selling them 30 times 1 Iron (if they already have 40 in storage) compared to selling them 30 at once (where they would offer you only 1 Gold as well). But the gain here is fairly minor for really a lot of clicking.
