Recently I made a mistake that cost me almost 50mil. I was setting up a sell order and entered wrong first digit. The price was something like 2x xxx xxx isk, and I entered 1x xxx xxx isk, clicked sell - and it was gone immediately, sold to bid orders at a drastically reduced price :( No time at all to correct the mistake.
Lesson learned, but I have a question if I set up a buy order and enter an extra zero by mistake - will it automatically get filled out from the lowest sell order with the seller getting the increased price? If instead of 100mil I enter 1000mil, will he get 1000mil and not his sell order price, granted I have that much ISK? |

Yeah it will automatically sell for the highest price available in the station so you would pay the 1000m |

Yep, those can be the expensive mistakes.
Unless you are on the receiving end :D (Sold some compressed ore for 75 times what it was worth (not an extra 0 or so, no idea what that guy did) for 3b. |

Advise: always, without exception, look at the little +/- price percentage indicator in green or red bold digits. It must give you low numbers like +5,61% or -0,13%. If it says something like +999,66%, stop what you are doing.
It sounds silly, but glancing at that indicator is much less of a strain to your mind as double-checking your precise entry, because for that indicator it doesn't matter if the digits are 2 or 3 or 8, as long as they're not close to or above 100. Thereby you can have your entry double-checked almost subconsciously when doing a number of orders or order adjustments. |

As long as you haven't turned off the warning, you will have to click a confirmation box before buying or selling outside of 50-200% of regional average price.
I really hated that when I was manipulating the market on Incognito Process decryptors just before the Procurer was introduced. I pushed the regional price up to about 300% of the usual and had a monopoly, but anyone buying from me got a warning first.

Yeah, I have been doing that ever since. Either hit tab key or display market information button. Having commas really makes it easy reading the price and making sure it is of the same order of magnitude at least :) |
