I am a new trader trying to get myself established, and there is something I cannot find that I hope you can help me with. I notice with buy and sell orders, some of them are green, some aren't. Can someone explain to my why this happens? I tried searching, but cant find anything (probably because I don't know what to search for!) Thanks in advance for your help =o)

Edited by: Kaltar Re on 19/01/2008 17:35:21 Buy orders that are in green are ones that are within range of your location. Orders can be set to be restricted to a single station, a single solar system, systems within a specified number of jumps, or region-wide.
Note: station-only orders will appear in green in the market display if you are in space in the same system, so pay careful attention to which station (if there are more than one in the system) the order requires. Otherwise you could end up accidently selling your goods for less than expected if you dock at a different station where the price available is lower.

also note that the volume of the buy order can be a limiting factor also.

What you you mean about the volume being limiting? Do you mean that if I do sell orders that are too small or large I might not get the items?

Originally by: Takimi Star What you you mean about the volume being limiting? Do you mean that if I do sell orders that are too small or large I might not get the items?
When a player creates a buy order they can set a minimum volume that the seller has to have to sell to the buy order. So you might see a buy order that has a really good price, but the minimum is 10,000 units. Whereas the rest of the orders in the area have a lot lower price but only have a minimum volume requirement of 1.
Why this matters is because most people don't expand their market window far enough to see this minimum order column. Then they see these orders that have an improbable minimum buy order for a great price and move their goods there to sell it. But when they get there and try to sell they find they can only fill the orders with the much cheaper price. If that person isn't paying attention they might screw themselves by selling their inventory for less then they spent on it.
This is yet another form of market pvp.
