I have a load of trade items and want to sell them.
I'm at a station where there are 2 possible buyers.
Other will give me 0.01 per item and could buy 9 milllion of these with a range of the whole region.
Other will give me over 1k per item and could buy 100k of these with a range of 2 jumps (This is also the station where I am exactly.
When I try to sell I can only sell with 0.01 price and not with that high price. How are sellings prioritized in this game. Is there a way to sell immediatelly to this buyer with over 10000 times better prize?

The reason you probably can't sell to the other guy at 1k per item is because he has put a minimum volume on his order. You can see this on the market screen, it's a column out to the right and you might have to readjust the size of your window or change the widths of the columns to see it.
Or you could do what that other guy said and put up your own sell order.

Normaly you buy from the cheapest available offer in your range, and sell to the highest buyer.
Now there are a number of limitations to this.
1. You must be within range for the action you want to do. If someone has a buy order up 3 jumps away, you may have to make those 3 jumps and sell it to them at their station or at least within their buy orders range.
2. Some buy orders have minum requirments. They may want to buy trit at 3 isk a pop, but only if you have at least 100,000 units to sell them.
3. When you buy, check to make sure you dont want to fly to anotehr station and make the purchase. If you do a quick buy at the station your in you may spend 10x+ what you expected.
4. When you sell, check to make sure you dont want to fly to anothe rstation and make the sell. If you do a quick sell at the station your in, you may get less then 1/100 of what you expected.

Thank you for your answers. I thought there must have been something I hadn't learnt about buy and sell orders. Just started going through market mechanics a while ago and actually never noticed that Mimimum volume column as it was hidden at the right side of the market screen. I was really wondering what it was.
