I was doing a trade route that I found recently last night and the station that I sold trade goods to had a demand for about 65k units worth. I sold that and brought up the market to look for a nearby station to sell the rest, and the same station I just sold to still had the 65k worth of demand. So I sold the rest of my cargo to the same station. Is this a bug/exploit? Or is this just static demand.
When does NPC corp supply and demand change if ever?
(Didnt see an appropriate forum to post this in so I posted here. Thanks!)

You can sell twice at the same station sometimes. When you fill an order they put up a new order. Sometimes that new order is for the same amount of isk and sometimes it is less.

Ok it was for an exact amount of Quafe that was there previously before. Also, when checking the NPC Corporation market activity screen, it only showed the last transaction, and not the first one.
Is there any information on when demand changes or what causes demand to change? Do NPC corporations respond to normal supply pressures and lower their demand of certain items if they are being oversupplied?

The number of units a station wants/sells stays the same. Only the price changes. I guess thats what you are asking
The prices will drop at the buyer (as trend - not necessarily on the exact sale - it might go up once or twice) when selling to them.
And the price will go up when you buy(again under the same disclaimer as above) at the seller.
Thats about it.

Yea I saw this last night...the price would change but the number of units purchased would not. I guess this is what confused me.
Thanks for the help guys.

It doesn't. The Quantity for PCs is obviously the amount they are Buying/Selling. Not at all obviously, the Quantity for NPCs is the amount before the program rolls dice for a price change.
I say roll dice because it's by a semi-random amount, change = x +/- rand(y) where y is slightly larger than x.
There are also fixed Min and Max prices. Thus Widgets might be
Sellers: 100 min (default), 115 max Buyers: 110 min, 120 max (default)
The price shifts back towards the default at a random time by a random amount. Thus you can't keep working the same Trade Route as you'd end up buying at 115, selling at 110.
The best percentage profit possible varies, but the average is around 20%; higher for low value goods, lower for high value.

Are you sure about this? It seems to me that a lot of the shifting happens during downtime.
