Originally by: Shinhan Never underestimate people's stupidity.
Finding reason why some people make stupid decisions (like selling stuff for less then their reprocess value) is very frustrating and an exercise in futility. Instead, like Riethe said, you should profit on it.
Unless you know what their motives and goals are, calling an action stupid is premature at best. They may have valid reasons for doing things they way they did, and achieved what they intended.
I'm glad at least one person here said this.
You have no idea how many people have sent me eve-mails telling me what a stupid trader I am. They get very heated and very angry with me. I usually inform them that their displeasure is what I live for and I thank them for the extremely helpful tips which I will ignore.
If you can't understand why someone else does something it may not be the other guy that is stupid.

Whine whine whine.
The more I make everyone else on the market mad the better job I am doing. I absolutely love angering everyone else who trades/manufactures. I don't care if every single trader loses money, as long as I am making a profit. In fact, it is a bonus to me if I hurt the other people trading the items I trade. I don't want trading to be easy or profitable for you, I want it to suck for you so you get out of my way. If this means I have to destroy a market occasionally then that's what I'll do. I deal in so many markets, don't bother sending me an eve-mail because I killed your personal market... I don't care about any single market.
I've gotten many war-decs, they make me quite happy. I've gotten lots of hate-mail, they make even happier. So please, war-dec me or send me hate mail if I've hurt your personal market or screwed you in some market related way. I love to hear the whines resulting from a job well done.
Every single complaint here about what other "stupid" traders have done shows a lack of understanding. They all come from the viewpoint of a smalltime trader who hasn't yet expanded to the big time yet. You have to look at things from others viewpoints besides your own. Someone is not stupid because they made 500k less on a single item than you did, but 500 million more on other items than you.

Not to mention that 2 bustards is absolutely piddles. Pricing ships at 2 mil under the current sell orders is something I do basically every day for one reason or another. The fact that someone doing this with only 2 ships frustrated the OP enough to cause this post is truly the shocking thing here.

The above two posts are both pretty much the way I feel.
The only reason the OP is mad is because he is a manufacturer and people are lowering the value of his T2 BPO. The problem is that the price of bustards has always fluctuated up/down by 5-10 billion over time. I've bought some for 40 bil and sold some for 60 bil. So I really do question if the OP actually knows this market very well at all, as anyone who does would know the market goes up/down a bit over time due to demand levels.
