I'm angry. So I make angry replies to my own aliases. I talk to myself! I wanna beat something! Sell me cheap oil now! rawr!

No, but the asking price on market items are always changing in price. Who is setting that number?

In the real world like the stock market or commodities market in open continuous trading, the asking price is set by real buyers. In the absence of real buyers at any particular point in time, people take the middle man role called market makers.

HA! SAME TIME! i won though. u mah bish. my $17 bish!

Oh. Scripts are off so never see that feature. Yep. Classic trolls. If they have something to say they should just use their normal account to say it.

Why 17? You know you can sell lower right?

Cool. I take it you're country #120? ;)

Anyway, my point is I don't think there is such a role here. Again I don't know how this game works. Who sets the number for the "asking price" on the market screen? This number always changes. I don't know if this is a purely random number generated by the server and they are the buyer of all of that good at that price, or if they are from real standing orders from the countries in that set.

The point is there is no 'standard' price for anything. Anything can be priced from $0 to infinity. It is the job of the market with buyers and sellers to decide the price of any good in a free economy. This is called price discovery.

But here, its different. Because the market is so think, people use it as a method to cheat and funnel cheap goods to themselves. So that cheap oil for example, they buy up the expensive stuff to expose the cheap stuff and they buy all the cheap stuff.

To stop this, you just need someone to step in as the middle man. The market maker. There is no such role here like that I don't think. I suppose people can play 'market maker' as part of their gaming strategy. But that is again depending on how the asking price mechanism in this game works. Whether they are from real orders or some fake thing the server puts up.

There's already something like that in place., but the floor prices are too low. They're Earth2025 original floor prices.
