Now, I don't trade but rather observe the market when it falls under my area of interest. There's this rather odd price pattern trend in Domain when you observe the sell orders for minerals in Domain, primarily the low ends.
Most, if not all of the sell orders a priced exactly the same ... and after a minor check, they all originate from the same person(s). Whether this is prevalent in the other regions, I don't know (and honestly cba to find out).
Plausible theories anyone? Scalping? ... or something more sinister?

That's the great thing about EvE markets... behind every "sinister" episode, there's a happy ending where some folks make a fortune. What you should be asking yourself is "how is this good for me?"

I'd like to point out that you don't actually know if they're all from the same person as you can only buy from the lowest order in the station.

Edited by: Tasko Pal on 12/12/2010 18:00:33 Sturm, I read your post some more and I remain a bit confused. What is so special about the sell price of this player's orders? Sounds to me like they're cleaning up after having done a regional buy order. It probably sounded like a great idea at first. "I'll buy all the trit in Domain!" Then they realize, hey, moving all those little bits of trit is work. So they're selling it in place. The next step is to sell all that trit to the next guy's regional buy order, which will continue the vicious cycle. There's trit out there that's probably been resold a dozen times.

Level five in both broker and accounting, and good standings, yields about eight million ISK profit on a 0.04 spread for one billion units. Suspect you can figure out the rest. |

That's ok when you're Jita station trading and expect turnover of many billions of trit per day. It's not so good when you're selling off regionwide (which is what this sounds like). A return of 8 million isk on almost 2 billion isk investment only makes sense with very high turnover.

Originally by: Tasko Pal Sounds to me like they're cleaning up after having done a regional buy order.
It's interesting because he either control most of the low end off mineral sells in Domain (not including the trade hub) or there's a cartel running around. Add the volatility of mineral prices, you'll be spending considerable time and risk to profit from off-hub sell orders for mere several millions.
Attributing a certain amount to regional buy order is plausible, but for this to hold true, you're going to have every miner out there in Domain selling to the regional buy orders. That's quite a tall order for the pattern I'm seeing. One other plausible explanation is setting up multiple buy orders across the favourite mining spot, but that takes quite a bit of work. This guy's virtually everywhere across Domain.
@Fred - I'm talking about those sell orders not from the Amarr hub. |
