Will Saves are for resisting MAGICAL or SUPERNATURAL influences - basically someone clouding your mind so you can't see past something. It's the seeing past it that you're trying for now, NOT fighting off a descending fog in your head. This is another reason I HATE when people roll Will saves against Bluff. An opposed Bluff roll, or a raw WIS check, or even Gather Information are all more appropriate.
Will: These saves reflect your resistance to mental influence and domination as well as many magical effects.

It would basically represent your previous surveys of the area regarding the economy and pricing, just as Lore represents what you have learned through use of the Gather Information skill in the past, as well as your personal experiences.
