Trading, prices, and you (well, me)

[Eisenengel]

Hi all!
I went shopping (RL). Upon returning, I notice prices has changed a lot - Imperial Slaves went from a galactic average of 10600 or so to 16000 or so. Same with other things. The three systems I trade with suddenly had several 1000+ profit per ton trades, instead of one 800-ish.

What did I miss?

I noticed it too, but prices seem to be balancing again, my profits are falling from 126k to 90k just in the past hour.

But there is a bug with highly fluctuating markets. The Imp. Slaves average for example, flips from time to time from old (~10k) to new (~16k). Very weird stuff atm, but with nice profits if you use it for yourself

Thanks, Galile0, for the link.

And now I'm off to christmas holidays, just in time to NOT get a benefit from that change until it's reverted just before I get back. *Grumble*

Pretty sure the markets are broken tonight. Everywhere I go there is a high demand for everyhting and the prices are through the roof for both buy/sell even if the station has a low demand and high supply of said item. Every single station is maxed on prices...and demand is in the millions of units in some products.
