Ralumos Synergy Evolved Daisho Syndicate	Posted - 2008.05.15 01:01:00 - [1] When you have 4 sell orders all in the same station, for fractions of an ISK apart, I almost always buy the highest of them. Only if the difference is going to cost me a significant amount of ISK do I break this rule. The vast majority of the time it comes down to a matter of hundreds of ISK. I don't know why I do this, I think its because I despise people who undercut my OWN orders by 0.01 ISK, and I have sympathy when it is done to others. Or maybe I think it will somehow help the market because those people who have already undercut, and still aren't selling, might undercut even more. Does anyone else do this? Or more importantly, after reading this, will anyone do it now?
Jmanis Catharg Caldari Stickler inc	Posted - 2008.05.15 01:21:00 - [2] Edited by: Jmanis Catharg on 15/05/2008 01:21:35 Congratulations, you're paying the lowest bidder a couple isk more for their goods. In case you didn't realise, You've got two sell orders for an item. One is for 1000 isk, the other is for 1000000 isk. If you right click on the one which displays 1000000 and say "buy this", you'll proceed to place a buy order for this item at 1000000 isk. The person with the lowest sell order will recieve the ISK and lose their item. So after you buy it there'll be one sell order left, and that will be for 1000000 isk, as you just bought the item listed at 1000 isk for 1000000 In other words, you have no control, you ALWAYS buy from the lowest sell order in the station, you just get to decide how much you pay :P If you don't believe me, go buy from the "higher" bidder, then see which sell order lost quantity in their order.

(And yes he gets the isk) It's true, I often get paid more than my sell price when people do this, sometimes it's a few 0.01 ISK, other times it's a significant amount. I've been paid 250,000 ISK for items I have for sale at 12,000 ISK a number of times recently, because someone's been putting up lots of ridiculously high sell orders in my area. ______________________ Isn't it time you learned to fight back?

pulse1976 Minmatar Far Edge Outcasts	Posted - 2008.05.15 11:45:00 - [13] You know, I've always wondered about why i kept getting more money for items I had on sale. This explains it. Up until now I've never said anything since I was benefiting from the extra income. Don't make me use UPPERCASE!
Amrumm	Posted - 2008.05.15 11:52:00 - [14] Only on the contracts market can you choose which offer to accept. When buying stuff from contracts I prefer the 500m offers over a 499.999.999 offer (498m on the other hand...)

Ralumos Synergy Evolved Daisho Syndicate	Posted - 2008.05.15 19:14:00 - [16] I just learned something new, and (I think) very interesting. For the record, I've never paid millions and millions of ISK for missiles, I'm talking a couple hundred ISK at most for an entire order. In my defense, how would I possibly have known this other than watching what happens to orders after I buy something, or dividing the amount of ISK I made by how many units of something I sold? I've never seen this documented anywhere or mentioned on the forums in my 2+ years of playing this game.
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2008.05.15 19:38:00 - [17] People have occasionally posted to the effect that they've been on the opposite end, receiving more isk than they asked for. I occasionally do this if I want to buy a large quantity of items and there are lots of low-price, low volume orders all within a few isk of each other. Sometimes it's just not worth the extra effort to buy from each order individually. My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats
Effei Gloom Minmatar eXceed Inc. eXceed.	Posted - 2008.05.15 21:33:00 - [18] funny topic, but I am also not buying from the lowest value (and often smallest) stack. Too much hassle to check hangars till you get your order filled with buying 5-6 stacks. So if the sell orders are only a few isk from each other I buy from a stack big enough to fill my required ammount. * new []HINTS[] Competitions * * check them out * * prize:150,000,000.00isk *

So if the sell orders are only a few isk from each other I buy from a stack big enough to fill my required ammount. That's fair enough. When I buy 4 million units of Fernite Carbide I can't be stuffed buying from 4 orders of 800k when they are 0.01 isk apart. As for Ramulos not seeing it documented, well, I guess it isn't because it's pretty obviously a broker system (the whole buy, sell orders and broker fee's). CCP's guides exist to tell you how to play a game, not explain RL concepts. To further my point, the guides don't explain what bounty hunting is, they just say you can do it. Your question isn't dissimilar (albiet exaggerated) to me asking "If I'm bounty hunting, why can't i find these chocolate bars anywhere" (bounty, chocolate bar, go figure poor analogy I know).

What is laughably dumb is buying from a higher priced guy (even if its just .01 ISK) on principle. The lowest guy gets the sale either way, you're just giving him more money.

It's nice to see the occasional adult. I clearly did not understand how this works, and now I do, so I am glad to have learned from the experience. I see no reason to be defensive about it. I've been playing this game a while and I am still learning things every day; that is part of why I enjoy it so much. If I've entertained someone in the process, all the more good in my mind.

V Mining	Posted - 2008.05.17 09:07:00 - [33] Well Ralumos, I didn't know that either and I've been playing from launch on and off so yeah. The only time I buy higher sell orders, is if they're in a different station / system and I can't be bothered to move them, or as a few posters have said, bulk purchases that can't be filled with lots of little tiny ones (which on the whole are scattered through out-of-the-way systems). Ignore the ones who came on to throw a few sarcastic comments. THey may find it amusing that you made such a mistake. I find it amusing that they have nothing more meaningful to fill their lives or time.
Lord Fitz Antares Fleet Yards SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2008.05.17 11:14:00 - [34] Actually what's really interesting to see is the people that put up sell orders for skillbooks in the same station as NPC sell orders for far more than the NPC price, blisfully unaware that they've just paid a huge brokerage for something that is impossible to sell :o

Ortos Abyssus Incendia THORN Alliance	Posted - 2008.05.18 01:25:00 - [38] Hehe, I realized this a bit back. I was allways trying to buy from the lowest stack if I could. Thinking that would help both sellers (the one getting rid of his products and the one with the huge stack getting less undercuts) It's a ******* shame we cant buy from the one we want too.

Nobody forces you to follow suit. But, that's what you get for trying to persistently undercut someone trying to liquidate stock.
Valixithor Caldari	Posted - 2008.05.18 13:16:00 - [42] They could always invoke a time clause on sell orders. I.E Once you've placed your sell order on the market, it will be instantly available to the consumer. However, due to the amount of paperwork, beaucracy and other annoying details, it will be impossible to remove the sell order or change it's price for another 48 hours.

They already have a time clause, it's 2 minutes. Doing what you said would remove the ability to do Daytrading. What would be better would be partial reapplication of taxes on order modifications. Depending on your circumstances and margins you could make 20 to 100 modifications to your orders before busting a loss, which is still pretty reasonable imo. Plus it helps cut down the effect of OCR market monitoring software by forcing them to suffer losses if they choose to undercut every single person making changes on the market.

Durente Galaica Amarr Fortunate Few	Posted - 2008.05.19 04:05:00 - [48] Do not feel bad OP, nearly everyone does this as a noob I remember back in '04 I would "punish" those who placed items in the same stations that the npc's already had supplied. There were many stations without any items at all and I was angry about it. I also sold my mission loot for 1 isk and trashed items that no one was buying (no idea you could refine things). Oh the joys.
Wieting Foyu Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2008.05.19 11:40:00 - [49] Please no more info... It is always better to pay more for an item than the lowest price. Anyone that tells you different is trying to ruin the market. Pay the highest price and the person selling it at the lower price will give up. That is the real reason his order is no longer there. He leaves feeling unloved. Wieting Foyu Foyu Investments

However, due to the amount of paperwork, beaucracy and other annoying details, it will be impossible to remove the sell order or change it's price for another 48 hours. I have several thousand orders available to me, I'd just split up the order into smaller parcels and keep undercutting, the only result would be more market lag as it dealt with a hundred times as many orders. Anyone who got their order wrong too wouldn't be able to cancel :o Quote: They already have a time clause, it's 2 minutes. It's actually 5, and this already sees me juggling 3 orders for some items.

Saladin Minmatar Eternity INC.	Posted - 2008.05.20 17:34:00 - [55] If all the orders are a fraction of an isk from each other I usually go with the volume that fills my needs. I think I would go insane if I had to buy the 10,000,000 fernite carbide I need for a jump freighter over 10-15 orders.
Tradkil	Posted - 2008.05.20 21:45:00 - [56] My question is what happens when I set my sell order at the same price as a market competitor? I have done this before for high volume goods as they have always moved, but I have wondered what would happen on slower moving items. How does the market pick between two sell orders at the same price?

How does the market pick between two sell orders at the same price? The first to sell is the one with less time to completion. I.e. you sell at 90 days and my order has 89 days, 23 hours remaining, same price, I sell before you.

It's like the "bank errors in your favor" card in Monopoly. As for the .01 isk under cutters. They don't bother me one bit. I like a good healthy market competition. What irritates me is the 1000 isk or the 100,000 isk per unit under cutters. You would surely hate me.... And me.. I don't see why my 190m item is under cut the whole .000001%. If you need the 100k that much you really shouldn't be trading.

I think I would go insane if I had to buy the 10,000,000 fernite carbide I need for a jump freighter over 10-15 orders. I don't like the 0.01 undercutters and I think CCP needs to fix the increments by only allowing changes greater than or equal to +/- 1% of the original price. But until then, I usually cut the price by a really wide margin so that anyone undercutting me has to make a real sacrifice. I never sell anything for a loss though, I don't care how long it stays on market. I agree, although the % would need to be adjusted based on research into the way things currently are. The only problem is how to implement it, after all why should your order at 10,000 ISK per unit somehow restrict me from posting an order for 9,999.99 ISK per unit? They are different orders after all...
