So when someone puts its good on the market, and someone buys them to resell them, it makes them faster to buy?

An added step means a quicker service?


It certainly can, yes. Travel times, location, amount of good available, etc...

You're looking at this all in a sort of one direction mode. If all this trading created "parasitic inflation" then prices would be under never ending inflation. Obviously a single trader or even group of traders can not wield that kind of influence infinitely.

And if nothing else, the income for the second seller is going to still cycle through the market. They're like the Eve version of a high consumption used game salesperson.

Is this the Crime & Punishment subforum?

I do have to say...
Why so serious? Let's put a smile on your face.


Big smile



When a trader buys everything in an area, then immediately relists at a higher price (no movement) then I can see an argument against them. But not much else.

Woo! CSM XI!
