Basicly what has happened is the devs have nerfed the market.
Look lets say you're going to buy a car, milk or bottle of water. There's no pop up that opens up magicly in your line of vison that says wooo there nelly you're about to pay more then the average price.
No!!!!! its buyer beware!!!! you've nerfed the market effectivly making it impossible to over charge for items. Just cuz billy bob and his sister/mother are to stupid to do a lil research before making a purchase i can no longer charge a price I feel like charging instead i now have to charge what the guy nextdoor set as a low bid then dingle berry in next system also goes lower before you know it Im broke and the stupid country hick who cant investigate crap on his own now has a pop up telling him to think about it before he buys. WTF is that???? RANT OVER TILL THE NEXT TIME I OPEN THESE DANG FORUMS
PS VOODOO <----- HAS ENTERED THE SYSTEM TO KILL YOU!!! RUN AND HIDE LIL GIRLS wtf is that stupid warning I mean FFS!!!!!!!!!
O BTW is the tutorial finished yet??? wtf is that patch notes lol still working on the tutorial FFS
PSS I wonder which mod will once again over step there bounds and lock, move- delete my post

Agreed, the warning needs a change. It SHOULD warn when you try to buy stuff worth 100k for 1 million, but not for 110k!

You should change your sig to read:

And no, my sig is just fine, thanks.

Have to admit its rather silly. If people cant research what is worth then they shouldnt buy it. Of course if you go to the store and that gallon of milk rings up as $100 dollars, well you can just put it back.
Guess I talked myself out of supporting your argument.

Agreed, a simple modification to the formula would do. If selling price = 25%+ above avg then warn.
The same should be true of sellers when setting sell price if below mkt average or high.

Hehe, you call this a nerf? Meaning you can no longer rip people off? Someone once bought a single piece of isogen from me for 5 million isk, I talked to him and paid him back. Hope these things can be avoided as I doubt many people would pay back.
Note: My sell order was at 65, he typed in 5 million for some reason and then paid that price. This a bug in the market system, he should have got my isogen for 65, no matter what he types in. Essentially ist a 'quick buy' if you put in a higher price than the ask. |

It does seem a little silly...
But in RL you not looking at some price that is 1 pixel high with questionable contrast at 330 am! 
Also - In RL if you buying milk at the store, the person would announce (verbally to you) - "That will be One Million Dollars", you would punch them in the neck, not slide you card and go "DOH!" 30 seconds later...

Actually i think you made my point all the more clearer. The item "rings up the price" when you pull the item up in the market it clearly states the price. no need for another warning at all, ever. once you click accept maybe a window pops up and says "you sure you want to proceed with the transaction" player presses "yes" and thats it item purchased.
Not a window that says "dude dont buy this one its over priced" goto billy bobs down the road a ways.
come on serious look I know lots disagree and some may flame but well blah blah blah....
ps seems like I refer to billy bob alot, just who is this billy bob guy he may hold the answers.

Its what the advanced market info is for, so you can find a better price .... maybe this should be included in the tutorial, I don't remember if it is??
The warning that you are buying for 1 isk more than the average is silly, Its game driven by economy, and there has to be a form of competition and a sense of producer profit, otherwise the market is a dead fish
---------------------------------------------
I'm the root of all thats evil yeah, but you can call me Cooki3
Some people couldn't get a clue, if they were in the middle of a clue field, in the middle of clue mating season, doused in clue pheromones, in a clue suit, shouting "Clooo! Clooo!" whilst beating themselves with a clue stick |

But you've missed the whole point of the change. The real goal was to create a variable that the Eve folks could arbitrarily set with the long term goal of driving the price of a product to what they feel the price of the comodity should be. It's really all just one big conspiracy to fix the prices in the market.

Seriously this is an over nerf beyond belief, they should only warn you when your 500% above price, otherwise there is going to be no such thing as a player driven market anymore.

The price I see it use the market average, not the item cost. Look at scourge missiles in yulai. Go build some for yourself and see how much it costs you. Then try and sell it for 200% of your mineral cost to make it. You get a pop-up when you do, you want to know it what it says.....
"Warning!!! You are trying to sell this item for XX isk which is UNDER the average price of XX isk."
Trust me, they are not generating those pop-ups by actual cost, but rather average market value. NPC prices will have an effect on the average price, but then those that try to scam people by selling those shuttles for 1mil, 10mil, or even 100+ mil are doing nothing but making that average rise a little but. I am pretty sure it is a weighted average though so it 2000 items are on market for 100isk and 2 items are on market for 100000isk the average price is going to be a lot closer to the 100isk mark than the 100000isk mark.

Noooo, now I cant transport BPO's cross-region and mark them up 200%. 
I suggested a possible alternative here. Additionally, Id like to see the market price calculated on a per-region basis, as an item in region A usually has a very different market value than in region B due to location, minerals, NPC considerations, etc.

Couple of reasons why some warning is good:
1) Can't see universal market. How is it that we on earth can unify a market via something like the internet but Eve can't.
2) Purchases are done with a single click of a button in eve. In RL there is a process and a single click doesn't perma screw you.
3) Many small purchases are still done in cash in RL and if a gallon of milk was $1000.00 more than likely you're not carrying that kind of cash. Or your ATM card is not directly tied into a single account of yours that happens to have every cent you own.
4) The rule is in place because of lame ass scammers, if you want to whine about the rules then take it up with the losers who helped generate it.

Unless you are ridiculously overcharging(Like price scamming things that cost 10000 for 1000000 and hoping the buyer doesn't see it in time), then it doesn't really matter. I buy above and sell below the suggested price all the time if it is right there in that station if I need it. For cheap things under 100k, it isn't worth my time to jump 5 system away to save 40k isk.

I have no pity for the person (including myself, from time to time) who buys foolishly without researching or thinking, whatever the excuse. Take your lumps.
I also have no pity for you parisitic *******s who make a living off the failing of others. You're all probably used-car dealers in real life. :-)
I don't know; in a contest between the fool and the scammer, I'm just not sure which side to favor. Both are so dang low on the totem pole.
-Jeff
P.S. I said nothing about greed. Greed is good. I admire someone who realizes they can get away with a higher price in their region of space. Capitalism is nice.

Err excuse me if i am wrong :)
Universal price is NOT taken into account - only thing that is is regional averages - they are easily manipulated ,
how? - go to a station where no factories are available ( easiest choice- can be done differently ) - make sure your product is with you . sell a single amount of product for at leat 300 times preice and average market price increases significantly - averages in pre sale prices - cannot work ---- fact!

As I said yesterday in another post, all this would be solved if we had a "wallet" where you have just pocket money, and a bank account where you have the bulk of your monetary assets.
That way you can just keep a reasonable amount in the wallet for purchases, and be protected from outreagous scams as you wouln't have millions in the wallet. Even if you were to make a mistake you wouldn't have enough funds so the transaction would fail.
Needless to say, if you wanted to spend a lot of money you can transfer from your account to your wallet at will.
After all... who carries 1,000,000 dollars in their wallets when they go shopping to 7Eleven?

As I said yesterday in another post, all this would be solved if we had a "wallet" where you have just pocket money, and a bank account where you have the bulk of your monetary assets.
That way you can just keep a reasonable amount in the wallet for purchases, and be protected from outreagous scams as you wouln't have millions in the wallet. Even if you were to make a mistake you wouldn't have enough funds so the transaction would fail.
Needless to say, if you wanted to spend a lot of money you can transfer from your account to your wallet at will.
After all... who carries 1,000,000 dollars in their wallets when they go shopping to 7Eleven?
i totally agree- that is a good idea. even if the bank account is just a place to temporarily store your money, no need for interest or anything.
there are npc 'banks'/stations in the game already, probably this is planned for later but it would be cool to turn on their services in some way so you could dock there, set up an account and then have essentially another wallet you can transfer money in and out of to protect against accidental purchases.

Guess people will just have to throw up a bunch of items at 2.7B or whatever the max price is to warp the average prices to hell, problem solved.

This was a really bad change. I was warned for selling some stuff at a price above average today. I was selling at the lowest price in the region!!!!
This needs changing fast or nobody will make any profits!
