If there are multiple sale orders for the same item and the same exact price, when somebody buys, who gets the sale?

More accurately, the one first modified, as each modification resets the timer.

Or more accurately still, the one with the shorted expiration timer.

So if you place orders with a 30 day expiry you have an advantage over those with a 90 day expiry

Incorrect, both in explanation and example.

The replies above this one were accurate.

This is easy to test, in case you want to check for yourself.

Hey, it's good as indication for who's a market n00b ; always using 90 day orders FTW.
Almost all orders with under 60 days remaining belong to them. The rest belong to traders that haven't bothered checking their orders in a long time. Or people who traded while under the influence.
