So, I was a bit confused today when some of my sell orders went through (no, not confused that they went through, confused about what happened!), so I thought I might get some advice from the experts.
Here's what I did. I manufactured 5 of an item. I'll make up some numbers for simplicity's sake. I put 3 of that item in a station on sale for 50k each, which was 10k above the regional average, but I was hoping that since the closest identical product was 4 or 5 jumps away, maybe people would buy mine for convenience. After thinking about it, I decided to see what would happen, so I put the other 2 of that item up for 40k each in the same station.
One person bought one of the 40k. So I was left at 1 item for 40k and 3 items at 50k. Then I saw three more purchases go through today. The first was 50k for one item. The second was 100k for two items and the third was 50k for one item.
So what happened here? It looks like my 40k item went for 50k. If someone chooses to purchase the 50k item, does the lower priced item actually sell, but at the higher price that the buyer chose to buy for? ------------------- 4 8 15 16 23 42 108 |

Yes, that's exactly what happens.

Thank you for being so helpful in your answer.
Alternatively, it could be put in the Player Guide or FAQ. ------------------- 4 8 15 16 23 42 108 |

It's best just to accept what happened here Dretzle and not put any more thought into it. Shrug and move on, as you'd have more luck trying to figure out how a womens mind works than understanding CCP's logic behind this particular market mechanic.
And if you do understand the former, let me know ASAP please
