I wondered if someone could help me with an advanced market question....
I recently placed some minerals on the market (at resonable prices, compared to the area) I then left them to sell.
Usually these mins would have been snapped up and after a day was suprised to see they hadn't.
I look on the advanced market and sorted the supply tab by distance (ie jumps from current location) and couldn't see any of my orders there.
I checked that they were in my orders tab in my wallet (they were) but could not see them else where on the market.
Can anyone help to suggest if these mins are indeed on the market and that what i see is just a graphical bug on my screen!!!?
Has this happened to anyone else?
I have alot of mins that need to be sold.
Thks for any help.

I think i know what the problem is.
I kept loosing my sell orders like this.
Check in the advanced market info to see if someone has a sell order for the same mineral but for a cheaper price (at the same station). If that is so, your order will not appear untill that one is completed.
It's an amazingly daft thing, especially when the overbidding sell order is of a ridiculously small amount, and it will never sell.
The best thing you could do is buy that smaller order and add the amount to yours, you'll make a small profit.
As a market nagging here: I understand why to cover pricier orders, but atm (at least at the construction components market) quantity is a much more important factor than price.
I've had many times my sell orders sitting around because some agent runner posted 20pieces of a component very cheap while covering a 2000pieces sell order. Ofcourse the 20 pieces never sell unless i pick them up.
On the other hand this is higly exploitable, ppl going around and ****ing off traders by posting 20 items for much less and effectively freezing the items market untill this is manually remedied.
Well, if the lower-sell thingie isn't true, at least I got the damn complaint out

Well, for 1 week now (since my bidding pause) I have been offloading the components in the thousands, and still got a few thousands more...
Still trying to get organized and I have gone back to a couple of regions mainly to keep a close eye on the prices.
Drop me a mail on what you need but I can't be sure that i can deliver the exact ratios, those were the good parts of trading big...
Oh, sorry for highjacking the thread aranox,
Did the trick work after all?

Feta, Many thanks for the tip, had a look and in some cases your very right, had never noticed b4 that i didn't see multiple orders in the same station (although I thought i had) had been thinking that the market was nerfed or something but ....!!!?
Took the stuff to another station and some of the mins got placed on the market (i could see them.. yay... but again some didn't show when they should have!) There were no sel orders for the min in the system....
As long as i know theres no problem with a bug or something i will endevour to keep trying to sell. In the mean time many thks for the reply, appreciate it...
np about the highjack.. feel free...
failing the market getting it right... anyone wanna buy 400k isogen for 26mil!??? hehe
