Isogen, right now.

You go to buy the top listed quantity of 23809 for 79.48.

Order stays there no matter how repeatedly you buy it. Alicsiaa is the character that now forms a wall in my wallet journal.

I would say that you most likely have missed another order of Isogen that are cheaper then that...

I've seen this before, I believe it's a bug (that is, if you didn't **** up)

None of your petty concern and whatever you do, do not stay on topic, heaven forbid.

Updated screenshot after clearing cache and buying up orders which led me right back to...

I have seen this before too in other trade hubs.

If it is a bug that means it can be exploited. However this does not quite feel buggy, more like... fishy.

You think you are buying from the cheapest order, but you are not.

You doubleposted this issue in GD as well, so I will repeat my reply.


There are multiple orders at the same price. Your market interface lists the smaller order on top. This is not the order you are buying from. You always buy from the oldest order. There is no major exploit. You can buy that oldest order in one go if you want.

Orders can remain active on the market after they 'expire'. Even when you can't see them. Or so I've been told.

Downtime will clear them

Woo! CSM XI!

This. You might've been buying from such "invisible" order.

There might also be orders that are priced the same as what you're buying from, but placed earlier. Might be one big order as well. I've just done this recently with pyerite while half-asleep, saw a good price somewhere at a station that had a few orders priced the same, didn't reeeeallly look at anything but the topmost order, parted with my ISK and saw that the order didn't disappear. Bought it again because I wanted to get more anyway, the order stayed up, and in my transactions I had "buy" orders for that number of units from the same person. I thought I was just really confused on account of being sleepy and inattentive, but then realized what's going on.

If there are no cheaper orders or if there are no older orders priced the same, then it's a bug, though, I would think.

Unfortunately because of "invisible" orders you can't allways see ingame if there are cheaper/older orders.

Cache-reading programs would show such orders because at least in my experience they do show up in cache.
