Hi there I’m a new player and pretty new to market trading concepts.Coming from most trading games that just give you a product’s set price which you buy at, I’m still getting to grips with the concepts of Offers and Requests.
What I’m trying to understand is why some items have absolutely massive Offers, often 10x the lowest price. What’s the strategy behind this? Surely they’ll never be fulfilled as more reasonable offers below them would be snapped up first
The thing about supply and demand is… the supply takes time to reach an area- demand usually doesn’t have that issue.
Is it paying off RIGHT NOW? No.
When supplies are low and they have no options? NOW YOU GET THAT MONEY. It’s a matter of having enough consistent income for those gaps of time to coast along before you see the benefits.
That makes sense thanks. I’ve got my own speculation going on a few items, though I’m noticing random “deposit for commodity exchange order” charges in my Financial Overview. Does having an unfilled order incur a fee and if so what is it?
i figured it was just people using the market for free storage
or maybe trying to scam people who accidentally add an extra 0 in the bid window 
There’s plenty of this too.
