Here is something funny that happened to me the other day.
I hauled 2 million Havoc heavy missiles to an Angel 0.0 region. ...
I loved this story. It really illustrates market pvp - boomheadshot! It made me rethink how I view other market sell/buy orders. Normally If I see a high buy order I think this region has high profitable potential. Instead of normally making 100% profit I now can make 900%! However that is not always the case, there is more than one way to win the market.
Basically what moral can be gleaned is 'slow and steady wins the race'.
I also have a story - it may be off OP but it doesn't deserve its own thread either.
The other day I set small buy orders for T1 mins, 5mill units for each. I noticed the next day all buy orders were filled by the same player. Obviously a trader because he remotely sold his stock - all from low sec stations within mere seconds.
I marveled and smiled to myself at what really happened. Sure it could be harmless, just somebody selling off some stock. But the way I look at is that this player wanted to squeeze me out. First, because I was no threat (small buy order amounts) and he sold off his irritating low sec minerals (and still break even possibly) and left me to trudge through lowsec to pick them up!
He took a gamble by squeezing me out (I could of easily placed more orders but do I want them all in lowsec? and I was broke anyways), meanwhile - it requires me to spend time off hauling lowsec courier runs while he can get back into the buy market.
I haven't been able to get back into the mineral market for a few days because of this manuevere. I am still noobiesh and not quite able to run lowsec myself. So I have to contract the hauling out. Perhaps done to any other player (I was just dabbling in the mineral market) they could have shrugged it off.
This is why I love eve.

Today, I learned to stop worrying and love the lemming.
Also, it has come to my attention that I'm really in need of a proper signature. |

Originally by: Arpad Elo I'd like to know how to do the lemming well.
i.e. how to determine how to cut prices, how rapidly, etc.
I have a feeling I'm probably going to have to put my thoughts out and ask for comments, but I'd prefer to read yours first if that's ok. :)
1)Watch your market,
2)Wait till you see activity (ie someone just cut their price by 0.01isk.)
3)wait 4min 30 secs (this will ensure that your competition can reduce their price before you sell anything with luck)
4)cut your price a few % (I find trashing a market in small steps avoids early buy outs from your competitors)
5)hopefully the guy who first changed (or anyone else is cool too) will follow you and cut by 0.01isk.
6)wait for more activity (by leaving the competition ahead they sell you dont.)
7) once you spot more activity its back to step 3)
follow this till prices are low enougth to buy up and relist with minimum risk or if a player built item wait until you are 5% below build cost any further and other may jump in and get the fruits before you.

And for extra giggles after buying everything use the exact same method to push the price of buy orders up with out buying. Leaves you at risk from stockpiles and interregion traders but if you find the right items with limited supply you can end up selling the stock you bought up cheap back to the player you bought it from for a mark up
