Why would they? You need the item, why would they want to give it to you for less than the maximum possible amount of ISK they can extort from you?

OP, I wonder if you bought the wrong computer. Tracking Computer I is dirt cheap in Jita, as are the meta variants, Tech I and meta RemTCs are also dirt cheap, did you accidentally buy a (lowballed) tech II variant? Storyline/faction TCs are far too expensive to be 700k.

be sure to sort prices by lowest price first. Also, make sure that availability isn’t limited to station or system so that you can see all orders in a region.
