What's up with that man?
People have stopped being creative. While manipulate Crystalline Carbonide Armor Plates by buying up 490k units for a small increase in price? Sure, manipulating more or less all Gallente construction components is a nice touch, it's just such a shame it wasn't done in a less obvious way.
Anybody with more than a teaspoon worth of brain will see this and crash the market  .
So who's responsible? I appreciate that price of T2 gallente ships goes up. But seriously. At least try a bit harder.

490K.... that's not very much.. Armor Plates, hell I think I have like 5-10m units of each of them just sitting around waiting for the price to get better :)

I beg to differ. The average movement of them per day is like 50k. So it's almost 10 days worth of demand.

What gets me is everyone thinking the easy way to make money is to buy something up and relist it higher?
I've made far more profit slowly eroding stuffs' value and cashing in when it rebounds. I guess people just don't like intentionally crashing the value of something they have a stock of but what else are you going to do with a big stock pile? Sit on it and hope the market goes up on it's own? I'd rather sell it at the going rate, in so doing crash the market, rebuy it cheaper and then see how much it rebounds. Even if it just resets to it's former price you've still got everything you started with plus a decent chunk of ISK.
Lets just say I've maintained a stock of a few things for a full year now. It gets sold with every high and repurchased with every drop and the difference covers my pew, pew habit.

I personally quite like these spikes once in a while. I had a stock of Shield Emitters recently, which I had bought less than 2 weeks earlier. Easy 90mill profit on a rather small stack. 
I also quite like the fact the ships I build become much more expensive. I stock in the area of 3-4bill worth of materials at a time. So I'm fairly well off.

Its actually into response to material purchasing for inventory builds, and those with excess inventory see nothing on the market and list their excess at a slightly higher price.
Sometimes, some of us just need a few million or so in units for...'things' |

Yup, been seeing this in spades. People cycle through all the components, not just gallente armor plates. The !$#!@#$ microprocessors get manipulated like freaking clockwork.
It's getting bad enough I'm considering a bond to fire up a new alt account for doing nothing but sitting a hop or two from jita, churning out 25,000 components a day just so I don't have hiccups in my production pipelines from having to sell the components instead of finished product.
I should have just stuck to cranking out megathrons.

Well we all knew it was only a matter of time after you conquered and cornered the Veldspar market.
Watch out folks, his thirst is unquenchable, hide your Scordite from him now. |
