I only got the one bite before someone posted a bunch for 250k each and it wasn't much longer before they were under 200k.<br />MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-20024994070910475922014-03-24T11:18:17.902-06:002014-03-24T11:18:17.902-06:00Like a really big hook with a really small worm on...Like a really big hook with a really small worm on the tip of it thats clearly a trap, just waiting for some lazy fat fish to bite.

Updating sell orders to keep my cash flow going is far more important than updating buy orders and I don't even update most of my sell orders every day.<br /><br /> Plus this was a stack of old stuff I don't buy anymore.<br /><br />Ha Rancer... Sell it at a little better price than usual right on Rancer and the campers will buy it from you... Or alternately courier it out 1 jump and the campers will move it for you.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-51444507480417917652014-03-18T07:51:35.963-06:002014-03-18T07:51:35.963-06:00I've learned to start taking a beat before cli...I've learned to start taking a beat before clicking, made a 100m oopsie last week myself. That and always updating the buy order first, so if I screw up the sell order (which is all I've ever done) i sell to myself, and hedge.<br /><br />I've actually tried to get in the habit of making my trading list smaller, seems to make it less likely I'll update orders on autopilot and screw up accidentally.<br /><br />ouch on the oopsie your end though, glad someone covered it. The occasional buy order that gets filled as a lowball does fill me with joy though. <br /><br />Now if only I could get them to stop doing it in RancerKate 'Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993019414595472147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-32471399466341064012014-03-17T23:05:26.095-06:002014-03-17T23:05:26.095-06:00To clarify, nearly everything I sell goes for mill...To clarify, nearly everything I sell goes for millions. I type the price in millions, then very quickly type 1,2,3 zeros, 1,2,3 zeros and hit enter. When the warning box, as it often does, is coming up on practically every order, I've already entered a hundred or more and the box has been wrong every single time, I start just hitting enter twice rapidly too.<br /><br />Then I go to post something priced under a million, hit 6 zeros like usual instead of 3 this time, hit enter and quickly hit enter again when the box (that's been wrong a few hundred times already) pops up.<br /><br />If I slow down to read the stupid (nearly always wrong) box every time it'd take hours to go through 305 orders instead of a half hour or so.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-76297398349187927782014-03-17T22:53:10.064-06:002014-03-17T22:53:10.064-06:00The warning box is pretty much useless.

It warns me a thousand times when there's nothing wrong and doesn't warn me when there is something wrong.<br /><br />Plus, sometimes when entering/updating hundreds of orders I get into the habit of ignoring it and just hitting enter quickly because it's coming up repeatedly (on practically every orders) and always wrong. Then it's right for once and I hit enter too quickly. That's what happened on this one.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-14784309669570318622014-03-17T22:22:09.306-06:002014-03-17T22:22:09.306-06:00Do you have the warning box which comes up if your...Do you have the warning box which comes up if your buy or sell order is materially different to the average price switched on? (though it does appear a bit random as to when it will step in to protect you).<br /><br />I find it annoying but it has saved my skin on many occasions.Crodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620994327943613623noreply@blogger.com
