Another explanation would be that the buyer was buying from a different station at the local price but messed up the order range, and your order got sold coz it was the cheapest within that range.

Thank you; I understand the lowest price requirement, but did not anticipate that people would try to buy higher than the lowest offered sell order.

I did not know I would get to keep the difference.

Perhaps this was a person not in station, but within the region.




I do it all the time, especially when buying fuel blocks, minerals etc. Rather than dealing with a half dozen transactions, I will go to the one that has the quantity I need, buy at that price (within reason) and it will buy all the orders necessary of cheaper prices to fill my order. Very damned useful if you ask me.

PS: This works the other way around as well. I had the highest buy order for Helioses in a station once and got a bunch of them for 2M each. Big smile


Someone sold me a bunch of Quafe Zero for 10,000 isk each. Pirate

So nice to learn the market works ... logically. Then, what was being discussed is a form of logic....
...though I don't really like pretzels all that much.
