Note: I sell exclusively in lowsec.
Fast-clicking thru all my sell orders and finding out I'm still top-list on all items, even though I last checked 12+ hours ago.
First time a new item starts moving at a satisfying pace.
Seeing an item sold-out nicely... but I've got enough stocks to put a new order right back up.
When I'm the only seller for some items in some stations.
Deciding to stop a price war, raising my price, then... coming back later in the day to find my competitor finally raised his prices too.
Snatching a nice bargain on my buy orders.
But over and above all, considering that I'm EU TZ...

Because you're paying people to hold on to their ISK so you don't have an empty wallet. .

One of the recent pleasures I derived from the market was a message sent by a capsuleer who'd sold me some battleships, and realized I was the person undercutting him on his other orders with my "23s lol".
Do any of you set prices with a specific numbers included to further highlight your orders/make them stand out on the market window? Don't fly what you can't afford to lose. --Azual Skoll |

'Highlight my orders' setting works far better, and doesn't give anything away to the competition. Knowledge is power, why would you want to give that away? |

I suppose if it's fun to try and maintain a super sekret identity on the market then go you, but we've found it's more fun to make people aware.
You get interesting evemails that way. Don't fly what you can't afford to lose. --Azual Skoll |

I don't understand people who say LEWL I am space rich.
How much ISK are you trading with and how much time do you spend trading? There comes a point where you have so much ISK that using your go to trading methods to soak up all that ISK takes up more time than you'd like to spend. I don't think I've seen anyone say it quite like you did though.
I started trading not long ago but I'm in the low hundreds of million, I haven't reached the plateau that you mentioned since I spend far too little time trading because I just update market orders as I do stuff.
But that post regarding the ''LEWL space rich'' is more or less directed at my persona, I am a cheap ******* in real life and I SIMPLY cannot bear spending money unless it's a real MUST. You could say I am one of those freaks that like nothing more than watching their wallet grow, not spending a single dime. At least until I get epilepsy from so much green and red numbers. |

Lately I have enjoyed watching (what I assume to be) new players as they purchase things.
For example: I list antimatter rounds in units of a 1,000 and place multiple sell orders of these in my home system (enough to fill up the market window) at the lowest price in the region.
Different capsuleers will purchase the rounds in varying amounts, but one person will always come along and buy out everything.
The thing is, each time he or she does it, they buy 1 from every sell order, then come back anywhere from a half hour to a couple hours later and buy out 999.
A few different pilots have done this, so I wonder: is it just the noob factor?
Regardless, it's fun to see the trail they leave behind in my wallet window. I really am wasting my breath though, when you can avoid questions from Hexxx and RAW23 like that you must have some seriously devoted investors. --Elizabeth Norn |

Agreed. There comes a time when you have so much isk there's nothing left in the game you can't afford, and watching your wallet balance continue upwards only chews up more time better spent on other things.
When I finally figured out how to make the market work in my favour big time I really got a kick out of seeing the wallet blink at it always meant profit, but it does get old after a while.
I guess that's how Bill Gates feels... lol www.YouTube.com/evemogul -ástarring... Me!

That is a seller of antimatter buying one of each to see who their rival is, then buying all of them up to make their profitable sell orders visible again.
I have been that purchaser (not on antimatter but on other items; most notably Light Neutron Blaster II). Set the universe on fire - then sell the survivors ash. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content.

One from each order in the same station? .

Yes, from each order in the same station. It seems this person is awfully meticulous, to buy from each and every order in this way.
I am left wondering if the others who do this are alts of the character Sabriz talked about, or if multiple characters are simply curious who was listing rounds of ammo in the manner that I did. I really am wasting my breath though, when you can avoid questions from Hexxx and RAW23 like that you must have some seriously devoted investors. --Elizabeth Norn |

You can't do that. No matter what the cheapest order is bought from, if they are identically priced the order is picked by the date or something. .

Even if only one person is selling the item out of the station?
EdIT: answering my own question. Only one seller shouldn't matter either.
I observed this over a couple of days...was I viewing the data by seller and not by the time stamp? I will check again when I get home from work.
