Every half an hour or so someone buys one unit of mineral, usually Tritanium.
Has anyone has any idea what this is all about?

There's a scam where someone claims to be giving away all their isk because they're quitting, all someone needs to do is trade one tritanium for all scammers isk (contract). Of course, when you look at the contract you'll notice you're paying some random huge amount to purchase that one trit instead.
I fear the "one trisk buyers" are an indication of rampant stupid.

Me guess these are the ppl which use the "I give up EVE and give away all my money" scam. They contract 1 Tritanium against Billions of ISK and a less experienced player may believe he would get the money.

They could also be checking you out.
When you buy one unit you can see in the transaction log who you bought the stuff from.
If you are undercutting someone they might be checking you out. |

This.
The scamer not knowing he can get a free trit unit just by undocking with his pod it's a lazy scamer.

Oh thanks for the information. Well, they can check me out as much as they like. There's not a lot to see here.

I think checking you out. Sometimes I have someone buy one missile and I always wondered why. Wasn't til just now I figured that must be what they are doing. A great way to get the names of the others who are manufacturing what you are manufacturing. (ie, the competition)
Hmm, I should start doing that.

I'm not sure where all the cries of scam came from. I assume you're selling tritanium in bulk on the market, and someone buys 1 of it from you. This more than likely is another trit seller who's trying to find out who keeps .01'ing him, so he can see if you're online, and then the moment you go offline he .01's you.
Yes players will often try to set up contracts to sell 1 trit for billions of isk, especially in Jita. But my guess is that he's just looking to see who's selling against him. --------------------------- Full Explanation of the Industry Index System |

Pull up local in Jita. Looks for someone announcing that they're quitting Eve and giving away all their isk, all you have to do is trade them one trit. Look at the contract. The last one I perused you would wind up paying around 850M for one trit.

I'd guess he checked his Transaction log.
