So just kind of a discussion post. I am never worried about selling and item, every item evetually sells and worse case I can always liquidate at buy orders and break even or lose a little.

My question is this:

I belive putting an item at a sell price that is in the middle or lower middle will eventually sell and I do not have to .01 isk war. However I find it tougher to secure items and find that I do have to battle to get the items.

I was surprised to find that even though I was most likely .01 iskd I was still able to secure my items at the price I put the buy order up. Would it simply be better to place the order and let it sit, or does .01 isk really make the difference. I mean yea if you need it within 10 mins but oes it really make a difference to a trader? Thoughts? I always thought if people could just get the concept of your order will be filled there would be less .01 isk wars?

Your order might get filled however it probably won,t get filled as fast as if you were 0.01 isking to have more uptime as the top buy order...

Buy more = sell more = make more money



just my 2 cents

If you're sure you want to sell in the mid-range, why not just buy from the cheapest buy orders and relist a little higher?

Because:

a) greater chance for loss
b) less proffit

You forgot:

c) Less work.

Which is the reason why you don't 0.1 ISK all day. Wink

Buy and sell on trends. No one can beat you with 0.01 ISK games if you are already there.
