Trying to trade some stuff in Jita, I saw that some ridiculous low order buy order where sets. For exemple, Isogen have average buy orders around 70 ISK, but somebody set a buy order for 100M units of isogen at 0.02 ISK each.
Isn't this killing the trades for this item ? I'm don't know what to do when I find such buy order. Can I just ignore them or do I need to wait until the buy order exprires ?
Thanks |

Don't worry about it, a lot of people get confused by EVE's mechanics and UI.
To be honest, you would have to be somewhat "special" not to be confused.
You did the right thing and asked the question, got the answer and became a stronger EVE player as a result. Sure, there will be people reading this thread and thinking "what a ..." but who cares what they think?
If you are just getting in to trading, you'll probably have a lot of questions like these. You may want to consider joining the "SCC-Lounge" in-game channel for quick answers to them.
Also +1 for coffee before trading. |

Setting those buy orders works for certain items. If you have items which are traded only a couple of times per day/week and which have only a really small number of actuall buy and sell orders (3-5) . Sometimes you can find such cases for officer and dead space items. Not much people are trading in those, because they are so rarely traded that the effort you put into checking the order again and again is not worth it. But if you set such a buyorder with an alt, it can happen that if someone sells a stock of 5 items at once, but there are only 4 buy orders with a normal price and your low one of 1 ISK, you get 1 bil item for 1 ISK.
It happend to me once by accident, but it was once in 4 years of trading. |

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the average price was the average of the buy and sell orders which were filled. Therefore, a buy order which never gets filled has no effect on the average. |

For what it is worth, and it may only be me, and I haven't checked if Crius fixed it...
By default market columns are not sorted sensibly, I.e. buy orders not sorted from highest to lowest, sell orders not sorted lowest to highest.
I've gotten into the habit of re-sorting the columns (clicking on the header) until they are in the right order, everytime I open the market. |

Lowball orders have their uses.
Not the 0.01 ISK ones, but I certainly have had 1m ISK items sold to me, in quantity, on 250k ISK buy orders that were strategically set up. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=346564 - a proposal to overhaul the Logistics skill https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content. www.minerbumping.com - ganking miners and causing chaos |

I cant believe I logged in for this but, those buy orders get filled quite often in regions other than the Forge or Domain. One of my regional guys got 1-2m megacyte for 57 isk/ea about a week ago. So, they do et filled. Just like the 100 isk datacores, 50 isk meta mods, and many other things that get sold for 10% and lower of the actual price of the items. Just like items get bought for 500% of the price of the actual item. Like last week for example where I put an extra digit into some implants and sold 20 Willpower +4s for 198m/ea instead of 19.8m/rea. The transactions do happen, and more often than people give credit for. So, it would actually make an effect on the price averages. |

how is that possible? because: a) if you set your sell price way to high, your order goes almost to the bottom of the list, and the market will have to be literally cleaned out of all sell orders before they get to yours; b) I remember last weekend someone BOUGHT 3 standard implants (dont remember the attribute though) from me for 10 times their price so you sure you didnt BUY 20 implants for 10 times their price? |

Sure, they won't get much action at the major trade hubs, but out in the boonies you may find someone more willing to sell at a loss.

So clearly, the guy who bought them was just a very special snowflake for paying 3.3b instead of 330m.
Moral of the story; Never underestimate people. There are all kinds of special people in Eve. Whether they jump their freighter blind into a lowsec they have never been too. Autopilot a jump freighter through low sec. Mine/run missions alone in a system with wartargets. Solo drop a supercarrier/carrier/dread 2 jumps from Amamake while PL is at home. Even overpay or undersell items to other users because they cant be bothered to look at the market orders or sell the item themselves. People are lazy/unaware/stupid and that is what makes Eve what it is. If everyone was smart, there would be a lot less profit or action in Eve. |

Either one shouldn't be the case.
If you want to calculate today's average value based off of yesterday's market trades then you want to calculate a weighted average of those trades for a particular item.
Given the following:
Sell Orders;
22 (7) 23 (3) 24 (3)
Buy Orders;
17 (4) 15 (2) 14 (1) 12 (1) 11 (1) 10 (1)
If we simply take the average of these values...
16.44
But if we take into consideration the quantities (shown in brackets) that were bought/sold at those prices...
19.13
The reason why the weighted average is higher is because while there are more buy orders than sell orders, a greater quantity per order can be found with the sell orders.
However even with weighted averages, this still gives too much pull. While in this particular case, there were few sell orders but they held more weight, what if the buy orders held more weight? This would create a weighted average lower than the simple average.
The weight of each transaction and the number of transaction can compound each other. This can give too much power to individuals and can further destabilize the market.
Which is why the average should be compounded.
So given the information above, first you start by producing a weighted average of the sell orders...
22.69
Then you take the weighted average of the buy orders....
14.50
Then simply take the average of these....
18.60
Just for reference, the average between the the lowest sell order and highest buy order is 19.50

Still, like I said, players will have to clean out ALL lower priced orders first. Even if someone had wrong sorting, clicked on your order and bought implants at your price, the money would go to the orders with lowest prices, not your order. The only way a ridiculously high price sell order is filled out is when ALL lower priced sell orders are filled out and yours become the lowest price. This is how market system works. |

That is, there's nothing there to suggest that your sell order was set at a high price. GÇó Graph re Market Order Broker Fees GÇó Diagram re Skills for Remote Trading GÇó |
