Lots of questions from me today. Just wondering a little bit about the supply and demand functionality of the market. What would happend if I buy a regions entire supply of ammo x. Seeing that the current buyers prices are lower than the selling prices. If I buy the entire region stock, will the market respond buy raising the buying price in my favour?
Or will it, after the next reboot, just NPC supply the region with fresh ammo x at the same or lower price that I bought them for, putting me on the spot with a lot of items that I will have to sell at a huge loss?

NPC Buy and Sell Orders never run out. 'Amount' means the amount that has to be bought/sold before the price changes to your disadvantage. NPC orders can be identified by their constant 364 days duration. An NPC order does not react to anything other than buying/selling from/to it.
Player Buy and Sell Orders do run out, and 'Amount' means amount. They have a maximum of 90 days. They do not react, they just run out or expire.
So you can play the Market with player only items, but with NPC items you can't.

So if there are no 365 days items in this category we are speaking of, does that mean that that item is pure player supplied and the NPC will not re-supply it if I clean the market out?

If an NPC hasn't placed the order than an NPC will not restock the market. The game is not in the habit of getting in the way of the free market habits of traders. Knock your socks off and buy up all the ammo.
But don't expect it to be the massive windfall you are thinking of. As soon as you buy it all out and place your new orders for far more money someone else will come along and throw down an order cheaper than yours. Then another and another until prices are right back where they were.

Edited by: Hanoi Hana on 06/08/2007 01:40:28 Yup, and people apparently pay way more attention to the "Warning, market price is 180% more than the recent average" window than I ever did, and you will notice that for some strange reason after you start price fixing, suddenly nobody wants to buy that item anymore from you. I wouldn't suggest price fixing unless you are seriously out of your mind and think you can pull it off.
Some people can, but it involves more than just buying 20mil pieces of ammo and selling it for a high price and watching for people undercutting you and waiting a month and a half for your excess to sell off for 20% UNDER the *original* market value because you got fricking sick and tired of this money waster that was sucking up all your ISK capital!!!!!!!! I've got some frustrating experience in this area...... :)
