Would it be possible to alter the contracts system so as they can be used to buy items. The way it is structured at the moment it appears to be only able to sell.
For example i would like to set up a buy contract for 1million Tritanium at 3.1isk per unit to be delivered to a particular station yet with the current system i cant seem to do it.
I would also like to see this implemented within the alliance aspect of the contract. So i can issue a contract to 1 corp within my alliance to deliver 100mil pyerite to a particular station for a particular price. I have seen the item exchange aspect of the contracts but it asks you to stipulate which station the items are at. This is different to a corp accepting the contract to deliver x amount of minerlas to x station within x amount of days or forfeit the deposit paid.
This would be hugely beneficial in my opinion.#
Please give constructive feedback as i am interested in everyones opinions.
Thanks

You can create a 1 million Tritanium buy order at 3.10 ISK per unit. The only thing is that you cannot limit it certain sellors. On the plus side, it can be placed at 3 months as opposed to the 2 week limit on contracts.
It sounds like you are really seeking is a futures market where commodities can be place on locked prices and volume for future delivery with certain trusted counterparties. Contracts would be too weak for this purpose (considering the duration), and market orders are too broad considering the audience.

I'm pretty sure that's essentially a buy order...

It sounds like a buy order but rather than have it delivered piece meal to the market and have to play the 0.01 isk game i would like to be able to issue a contract to my alliance corps stating i want 10mil of trit delivered to a station at this price.

You can set a minimum ammount of product to buy at once, so if you're looking for 5 million units you punch in 5,000,000 units and the trit will arrive in your hangar all at once.
Cuts down on having to travel around for 3 units of this and 5 units of that. -So says Xindi Kraid
