You sold 2,678,682 Bushels for $100,718,443 to a standing order.
28,321,318 Bushels remain for sale.

En Route: 28,321,318 Bushels on sale for $40 each

Still en route but selling? not that I'm complaining or anything

SO purchases can happen a very short amount of time before goods become available on the public market.

Related question: What would happen if one were to recall the goods from market at the point at which they were bought by a SO and were still listed as en route?

My guess would be you'll just get back those that are listed as en route. Since the SOs have been filled up and bought/sold

Since the SO was filled from your goods you would get back what was enroute minus the quantity filled by the SO if you think you will get something for free you will find out fairly quickly that you are out 3 turns from your recall and another turn for having to place your goods back on the market + the wait time of having it all sell. Can someone test this out? :-)

This sounds a lot like "what happens if i sell my car to somebody (and give it to them), and then try to take it back to the dealership?"

If you sold your goods (even via an SO), they are sold. They can't return after they're sold, it makes no sense =/

Finally did the signature thing.

In Tournament I put 10m food for sale for $43.

It sold to a standing order and I immediately hit recall. I got the food back and still had the money.

I recommend everyone in Tournament put all their food for sale for less than $40 asap. I'll make sure to have in a SO. This definitely isn't a trick to get cheap food. Also try it with tech, try selling tech at about $1300 or so, especially bus/res as I have SO in for that so you'll be covered. Not a scam!

You probably got back the part that didn't sell; technically it removes the goods from you AND the market before it even enters the text that you sold them... and they can't be magicked back into the market at that point...

lol... this can only happen for between 1 and 60 seconds, depending on the time you clicked "Sell"; There should be almost no incidents of people noticing this happening, let alone having problems!

Wait 60 seconds, and it's like it was on the market the whole time! heh

We get so excited when our goods arrive on the public market, even my palms get sweaty and my heart races.
