Stuck with some gas than I can't sell

I have a problem.

Recently I did some wormhole exploration and picked up some C-32 from a gas site and got it back to wormhole space. However I can't see it. I'm selling it at the local hub (dodixie) but I can't because other people keep coming round and undercutting my prices faster than I can react and puttting more stuff on the market so I can never sell the gas.

Is there anywhere I can go to sell the gas or will I have to sell it to a buyer at a lower price?

Just keep lowering until it sells. Not much else you can do.

Not much else, besides taking it to another hub, or any other system where someone is buying it.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

To echo what others have said, take it to Jita (where there's more volume being traded, thus more chance of your gas being picked up by someone), and just keep it within the lowest 5%.

Nah. Not worth it in the long run for the slim return.

I used to sell Lime Mykoserocin in Rens, but whoever was buying it stopped about 3 months ago and you can't even give the stuff away now.

Unfortunately Frentix isn't a popular booster so there's not much demand for lime gas.
Amber, Celadon and Viridian cytoserocin will earn you big-bucks Blink

Yeah. Pretty much all the "cytos" outperform the "mykos".

Larger hubs may be even more competetive, making it even harder for him to sell it. Then again, larger hubs (as in Jita 4-4!) may also have a lot more buyers, meaning that if h dumps his price hard enough, it'll sell quickly. There may even be Buy Orders he can sell to directly.
