One question: if you didn't want to buy it for that price, why did you place an order to buy it at that price?
If you're buying to later sell for a profit, you're not entitled to make money. Speculation is and should be dangerous. |

Self-indulgently returning to this thread to note that no one has answered my question.

Except there is absolutely no warning, foresight, notice, etc. there is no forecast of announcements (well be giving a gift tongue players in 2 days), would be enough for some people to stop some trades, but they can't even speculate when ccp will make the wind change.
Randomness is part of the game, but we aren't brokerage firms with 24 hour staff (minus the tradebots).
Were there no options to shield yourself, I might feel differently. However, when dealing with high-value items such as these, would it not be prudent to isolate risk to a limited-wallet, margin-trading character? You could put far less at risk than your open buy order. Electing not to do so implies a willingness to assume the risk, in my humblest of opinions. |

If people put up a buy order for several bil on an implant, that means they want to buy that implant at that price. EVE isnt the kind of game that protects people from themselves.
Speculation is risky.
This guy also gets it. |
