Great start! You'll get there in no time. I like to see other people's strategies. Every time I start a new toon I go through Outbreak, level to 2, kill one Hellion for the posting fee, and sell my two large inspirations. That gets me the seed money to start flipping to get my first 5-10mm. That might take a half hour, or overnight, but it's generally always there!

This is in respect to what happens when there are TIES in bids or offers across characters or accounts. And I'm changing my statement to "I'm not sure" based on my experience with common salvage. Often I'll have lots and lots of bids out at a low level that happens to be the highest outstanding bid, so when someone comes in to dump salvage, I'll have the best bid. On a single character, I've noticed that bids get filled in what seems to be a random fashion. A few here, a few there. When I use the same bid across characters, I notice that sometimes one toon's bids fill entirely while another's don't. That may be a timing issue or an observational error though. On the sell side, I will frequently dump large amounts of common salvage at 1 inf. Since that, by definition, is the lowest outstanding bid and guaranteed to be at or below any outstanding bid, I would expect them to sell instantly or close to it. However, sometimes the system doesn't process my offers instantly, and I'll often wait 10-15 seconds between sales, despite the fact that there are plenty of outstanding bids. I am guessing that is because there is at least one other person selling at 1 inf at the same time, and that the system is somehow allocating our offers in a manner that neither seems random nor in order of when the order was placed. It's curious.

Say hello to Hellion Keller, a Staff/Fire Brute.

1. Enter Outbreak. Change mouse settings. Add two power bars. Drag temporary powers onto power bar. Hit Sprint and finish up the tutorial. Exit to Atlas. Level and drag Rest to the right spot. 2. Kill one Hellion for the inf. Type “/ah”. Post my inspirations at 1 inf each. 3. Take proceeds and trade them to 5-10mm.

As a market maker, I can speak with authority that you certainly can have outstanding bids and offers on the same item at the same time. (In fact, it's particularly satisfying to buy and sell things at the same time -- it tells you that you are in the sweet spot!). You cannot, however, buy or sell from yourself. Pine, that may have been the case that you would have been selling to yourself and so the system didn't put it through.

I believe that if there are multiple equivalents then the sales are random. Example: I put up a handful of offers of common salvage at 5. I find that I’ll sell one or two from each block of ten rather than the first ten selling first, etc.

I cannot understand why converters are so cheap.

I believe that when there are two or more eligible bids for an offer or two or more eligibility blue offers for a bid it is random rather than by when the bid or offer was made.

The thing I’ve noticed about this server is that profit margins go away very quickly and that people are willing to work for almost nothing.
