Why would the buy orders shoot up 500%?
Makes no sense if most people were unaware of the changes to trit per scrap metal. Why not leave it the way it was before, after all as buyer, you're ripping off the sellers.

...you're ripping off the sellers.
Personally I'm not a fan when people say that traders are "ripping" people off. All they do is provide a service. They want quick liquid ISK, I'm willing to give you x amount for it now and sell it for you so that you can have your cash immediately. How is this any different than any other service in EVE? They are not coerced in any way to sell at my price, all the information I have about the pricing of the good is fully available to them, and its a mutually beneficial exchange.
Just my .02 ISK...
There's no such thing as mutually beneficial exchange in the market. Nobody is looking to exchange goods without having to gain isk in the process. After all, the idea of capital market is to make as much money as possible right? Isn't that what Eve market is all about? Capitalism?
Having buy orders shoot up 500% to reflect changes in reprocess return is direct contrary to that statement.

Looks like Nido and Tasko already nailed the rather stupid claim that there is no mutually beneficial exchange. Every exchange is believed by the participants to be beneficial when it happens, otherwise it doesn't happen.
I buy slave alpha in Jita for 95 mil and resell them in Sinq Laison for 140 mil. Is that mutually beneficial? No, the buyer got ripped off for 45 mil. Don't tell me that this is a small occurrence, I do it all the time and I have no doubt that other people are doing this as well.
