Proposal - Two additional tools for the Marketeer

Greetings Capsuleers

Firstly, my apologies if there is already some quick-fix to remedy the following - and if that is the case, please enlighten me! My further apologies if the idea(s) has already been suggested.

My suggestion/ideas here are two additions to the tools available to those who indulge in the market.

1. When having hundreds of buy & sell orders active at once, it becomes very difficult to identify which orders have been completed and need to be remade. For instance, you have 170 sell orders, and your Sensor Booster sell order is fulfilled, which is then removed from the list. Currently the only way to identify that this order needs to be remade, is to cross check your market list with your own external (excel) list, or god forbid trawl through the Transactions comparing with your sell list.

So, the first addition I suggest would be a Buy/Sell Order History, available either as a subdivision of My Wallet, or a subdivision of Orders (as a clickable button i.e. Show Buy/Sell Order History), much like the Skill History list. Note that this list should only display fully completed, not partially completed orders.

2. When setting up a sell order, it is good practise to identify (if you bought the modules in the first place) how much they cost you originally - currently the only good way to do this, is manually search the module in Transactions.

So, the second addition I suggest would be an additional option in the right click menu on a module, to Search Transactions.

Thoughts?

Kind regards to the EVE Massive

Setup a stockpile list in jEVEAssets (an out of game tool) listing the items that you want to keep in stock.

Not sure if the other stuff is available via the API. I know for certain that wallet history is, but don't know whether there's a buy/sell history too - but EvE Mentat probably covers that.

I certainly support this at least. But I would rather they replace the orders list with something more like a personal storefront with tools that let you manage your inventory of items for sale and purchase. You shouldn't have to depend on a third party tool for such a basic feature.
