A few times this has happened to me. Someone has been buying isotopes, and they buy around 10-15 transactions of 862 for example, then they buy around 3000, then 60000 all within the space of around 2 minutes. THis has happened to me a few times now and wonder why people do it?

When I'm manufacturing on my industry alt I'll usually buy enough to manufacture for 1 day, then grab enough for a 6-hour run as well and just install multiple jobs. It's a lot easier to fill up ten manufacturing slots if you're running multiple jobs on the most profitable items at the moment. Wasted slots are wasted money.

Edit: It's easier to keep track of the materials for multiple jobs if you buy enough for the individual jobs, load them into containers, and space them onto multiple POS arrays/station manufacturing slots. That might explain the weird purchasing pattern.

Ah ok, that would explain why the smaller amounts were always 800ish. It just seemed weird, but im not complaining as long as people keep buying! Thanks for clearing that up
