I could never understand the mindset of players who sell to buy orders when there is a large marginal difference between the sell and buy order. I dont think it has to do with a urgency for a quick intake of isk with some of them as i've seen a few where people have thrown away large sums of isk just on selling to buy orders, where as a little patience would of netted them more profit.
have any of you ever had this done and spoke to the person who sold it? |

Nope!

Fortunately, one man's junk really is another man's treasure.
Very true but at the same time I have to ask, if you had something where you'd lose say 100mil off of one of those items, wouldnt you rather spend 5 mins monitoring the market for that 100mil instead of losing it selling to a buy order? |

its not really about them selling in general its more about the amount they throw away due to selling when comparing the sales price to the buy order price and the thoughts behind it.
Also auction houses arent that bad as long as they are set up correctly with good search function, as they are a lot better compared to the old ro1 and sots user stalls. in addition, wow wasnt the first and wont be the last to have auction houses as a means of player sales. |

Cista2 wrote:First of all, the *cooldown* on the EVE market is 5 minutes, so you cannot babysit an order for just 5 minutes. Babysitting implies a repetition of 5-minute cycles.
Second, I don't think there is an item in EVE with a 100 mil market spread where you can sell the item on sell order after say, half an hour of babysitting. For example, PLEX you can sell that way, but the spread is 10-15 million more likely. At the other end of the spectrum, implants or ships with a 100 mil spread would take days to sell on sell order.
it was just a rough example as i've seen on more than one occasion, people throwing away that much and more to buy orders.

yea i tend to meet that issue a lot too, its why a lot of them hide behind npc alts for their traders since they dont want it getting back to them. |
