OK so I’m back, doing some station trading. I’ve noticed more than a few times that a bulk item (let’s say missiles) I have listed for sale at a good (for me) price, someone puts a listing up that is selling just one missile for just a fraction higher than the price in the buyer’s section, meaning much much lower than my price. So it appears above my item (often is the top listing) but is selling just 1 of what I’m selling 5000 of, and for next to nothing. It this some sort of new price war tactic? What is that about?

Probably trying to bait impatient traders into eating a market relist modification fee to try and beat that 1 unit sell order.

Station traders when their items aren’t at the very top of the list…
