Market Browser "Best Price" glitch...

So, i've noticed MANY items that whilst browsing the market list the "best price in region"...often i then click to see the actual market, only to find the actual best price being sometimes 30% lower.

Vindicator as an example. The market browser says the best price is 590m....whilst the market has them at 415m. This especially concerns me with the Multibuy function now being a thing.

There is obviously a loophole in the code that some people have figured out how to exploit...and it has been there for some time with nobody from CCP ever noticing. (or turning a blind eye)

An example of that a good ship icon set looks like.

Are you sure that you didn't just set the search range to "station" instead of "region" ?
For me the market is working fine. (Besides that it feels a lot more laggy in the last weeks...)

The Vindicator has since switched...but here it is with the Providence http://i.imgur.com/Zk65MLc.jpg

It took me exactly 1minute to find this after seeing the vindi switched. How has nobody else ever seen this before?

Okay, let's follow this logic for a moment.

I open the market and set the range to station.

I start to browse the market, a ship peaks my interest.

The browse screen says the best price in the region is almost 600m.

I click on the 'view details' button to see the prices my station has to offer.

To my surprise the station has offers that are around 400m. Well below the suggested 'best price'.


Okay, so you are suggesting that because I have the range set to 'station' instead of 'region' that the 'best price in region' should be a higher price than what I'm seeing in my station...that resides within said region?? How does that even make sense? By the way, both prices are listed within said station.
