Thanks for the support
tra, as for your questions:
1) If you leave in a buy offer that is "invalid" (ie, on limit), the offer will take effect as soon as you are no longer on limit. So you will begin buying the 3rd santa as soon as your limit expires. If this insta-buys the santa, then you'll get it right away as soon as the 4hrs are up. If this doesn't insta-buy the santa, then the offer will now get added to the queue of lower buy offers and you might get one later.
2) No real change, just beware that speculation might be a bit more rampant/dramatic now than it was then. For example, before the QBD was released dragonfire shields were (at times) trading 10-15% above med on the GE. Then they epically crashed to 20%+ under med when the QBD was released. The loss of artificial limits just means that items' prices can move more freely. In the absence of some external factors (usually game updates), though, it's unusual to see items trading outside the +-5% boundaries.
I recently found out that people in the past could buy 25k runes, sell them back, and then buy 25k more runes within 5 minutes, but this was later nerfed a month ago. When was this update made? Was it when free trade returned?

I tried reading it and got bored. It's great people bring economics to the game but at the same time I absolutely despise economics and I can't stand having to read stuff about it, particularly for when I just want to chill and play a game. Looks like a decent guide though.
Not quite economics, this is really just a thorough description of how the GE matches sell & buy offers. But thanks for your feedback. I don't really want to shorten the guide for fear that I leave important stuff out.
