Market Improvement

Hey I had this idea the other day.

Let's say I place a buy order for 5 brutix Battlecruisers and someone sells me 2, I then turn around and place these same 2 BCs on the market sell orders to try and make a profit. Half an hour later someone sells me 3 more, I also want to place these on sell orders but my other 2 have not sold yet, I don't want to take up more of my orders with the same product.

An option to add these 3 BCs to the sell order I already have in place would be fantastic.
It would make my order tab less cluttered and make it easier for those of us that are heavy market traders.

I don't like having 3 or 4 sell orders consisting of the same product.
Now of course for the extreme traders who like multiple orders this would still be available, but the option to stack things into an order that already exists would be a great improvement, as right now I have to either create another order or cancel one and stack and then relist products.

thoughts?

Isk sink. Think about it.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

If you are referring to the broker's fee for setting up new orders that can be fixed by simply applying the same fee to stacking orders, the ONLY thing that would change is the clutter in the orders tab

Often have I wished for the same kind of ability. This gets a +1 from me.

It really doesn't make sense that you are forced to create multiple orders of the same product, I mean in RL you simply have a stockpile of items that are all for sale, you don't have multiple stockpiles unless they are in multiple locations (Jita, Amarr, Rens, etc).

Supported, this would significantly ease stocking trade hubs.

I't would be nice to be able to not only edit the price of an order, but also the quantity.

This would allow you to take items off the market aswell as place more on the market, granted taxes and fees would apply as normal for the added items, and minor service fee for lowering price or removing items.

This is a pretty cool and is an idea I have also had from time to time as well. I would LOVE to be able to right click on an item in my hanger and choose "Add to existing sell order" and have my sell order quantity increase automatically. So much time and so many market slots would be saved.
