Thanks for a lot of information here.

So wait, I once tried to sell an item for regular price but it never sold for even 3 updates (I changed my offer every now and then). I suppose that item couldn't sell because every offer that was made (even a buy offer of my price) wouldn't pick mine because it's not the "best"?

Also, I see most flipping guides say to "go with the flow" when it comes to margining. That means that you should sell an item at your auto buy price but not lower? I suppose it's just that if you do that, you're benefiting both the mercher and yourself because it keeps this best price alive? @puretppc

1. This means the item was trading so far below GE price that your offer was never the best one, yes. It can take time for GE guide prices to update and reflect the "true" value of certain items.

2. Selling at 1gp under the instabuy price will guarantee that your offer is the best in the GE, although you might be able to get more money by selling for a higher price and being patient.

Oh I see thanks. What about situations like good buy offer and good sell offer?

What if simultaneously there were no offers yet. Then one person places a sell offer on Item X for 1k and another places a buy offer of 2k. If this both happened at the same time, who gets the benefit? Does it average out the price?

In other words, who gets the "offer benefit" when it comes to high buys and low sells? @puretppc
