Another thing worth including in here is how transactions are handled when putting in offers greater than the 4-hour limit.
Example: I need 2000 Thingumnywuts (Random name for example). Lets say they are worth 1000 each.
Every 4 hours I am entitled to purchasing 1000 of them, with the time limit resetting exactly 4 hours after the first one bought.
For whatever reasons, I am not worried about spending too much to get them so I put an offer in for 1100 each.
Before I place the offer, lets say there are over 1000 selling for 1000 each.
When my offer becomes active, I instantly buy 1000 of the 2000 and receive 100k back.
Four hours later one of two things happen.
If there are already sell offers for equal or less than my buy offer I purchase them and am refunded the difference. (Not positive on time priority regarding the two offers).
If there are no sell offers equal to or lower than my buy offer, any offers put in equal or less than my buy offer after my 4 hour time is up go through and the seller gets the difference.
Feel free to rewrite/rewrote this however you please if you wish to use it.
