Hey gents just trying out trading for a change but ive come across a small problem, well quite a large one
I have brought some tobacco off the market (65K worth) and transported it to X who was buying 31k worth which i think was an npc buy order
the npc buy order brought up 62k worth of the tobacco but im let with left over and now they are not buying it at a price which is worth selling.
edited, titles always good ay
Do the prices reset if i do a sell order and leave it there?
Just a little help please 
Ps ive read trading 101 and not helping a great deal unless im missing something

look on the map to find a station that will buy it at an acceptable price. not sure about the sell order thing with npc's.

Yeah, just wait 24 hours or so and they'll be buying at a decent price again.

If that Tobacco represents most of your wealth, you have to judge weather it will be more profitable to sell it now for a small loss and keep trading; or wait for it to sell (if you put in a sell order for the price you were expecting it should sell in a day or two). All part of the great trading game:
wealth in bank account = ready to take advantage of opportunities
wealth in market = profit

If you sold it to an NPC, then you should see a buy order in the same station, for the exact same amount before you sold, but with a lower price.
That is how NPC buy/sell: always a fixed amount, and they "correct" the price with each transaction (they increase it if you buy, decrease it if you sell).
If nobody sells/buy to them, then they slowly "refresh" the price... so yes, if you wait some time the price should get to it's previous values as long as no other pilots comes and sells to them in the meantime.
