They mean how many exact transaction (buy or sell) at this specific day took place, from how many different orders, including the highest, the lowest and the average price the items were sold for. It gives you a pretty decent estimate what the item was “worth” at this day and how much trade volume happened.

He buys cheap and sells high, thats what basically every station trader does. Congratulations you just discovered the most basic trade strategy in the game.

Then train up the required science skills and farm your own datacores from R&D agents…

I get them from elsewhere and its annoying when guys like that seems to refuse others to have any at my prices. But he may regret always buying them.

Sure, thats why he is buying them cheap and selling them high, he is sure people will buy them for the increased price, because… they need them. :rofl:

Are you aware that business companies don’t exist to make people happy but to make profits of other peoples desires and demands? So the owner or said business gets rich? Thats the whole idea behind 99.9% of all successful companies.

People/Businesses that dont provide value will go out of business, it will take a while in some cases tho

Considering i have been doing exactly this with nearly every item in the game since the games conception and i have trillions of isk. I dont think ill be regretting purchases i make.

If you need them, use them, buy them, great take the cost into account when you sell your items. This is basic supply end demand concepts. And basic free market.

Don’t like the price, great meet someone and make an exclusive deal or farm them yourself.

You complain about market stuff alot. Maybe you should not participate in this portion of the game or find some other part of the game which you enjoy?

This is all how the game works and how its worked for decades. I think its doing fine. Markets are fine and busier than ever.
