SFSRGG, p 11: 'Scenarios are designed for six characters....'
So, by the math above, the 214 credit penalty appears to be a value between 148 cr (cash equivalent of equipment in the area) and 281 cr (the hardball negotiation including the tradegood resellable at 100%).
You'd like to think that, but I suspect this was botched in editing and everyone just gets to suffer. The correct place to resolve this was probably the boon text, but they ran out of real estate by having two 'preview of coming attractions' boons.
Might be errata one day? Commencement was altered after the fact to reflect the actual equipment haul for the scenario. Putting the negotiated items in the tiered sections at the bottom would explicitly clarify that they've gone into the common pool for the quartermaster to convert to cash.
So the various ways to interpret this:
player spent 50 credits early in PC's career for the privilege of filling out the nominal credit total for everyone at a later table;
player spent 50 credits to effectively buy a mystery boon, which has now been traded for a slightly less mysterious boon;
there is another precedence (no spoilers) for investing 40-60 credits to effectively buy a boon.
