How is this possible?

OK, so I've recently decided to give flipping a try. So, I'm trying new items, and unpowered orbs catch my eye. GE price was (and still) is 156 (annd on the increase. I think +6 at the time). So, i go to buy one. I get it for 100gp.

Go to sell it check margins. try somehere in the 70s. Not selling. Go lower. Still no selling. Dump it in for 1gp. It sells for 5gp.

 

Well, naturally i thought that this is great and that I should buy as many as I can, for obvious reasons. I managed to get 4k for 10gp each. over a couple of hours.

 

about 5-7 hours later, the selling/buying price is in the 180s/190s.

 

 

Now, I did manage to buy this at a not super high peak time. It was around noon-2pm here and I'm -7 GMT.

 

Can anybody explain here? Is this a normal thing for some items? Maybe a really strange bug??

Luck. You just happened to be on when someone was selling a lot of them and there were no buyers.

... selling them at 10gp or less?

 

 

I mean, i'm not complaining here .. but still. it's a little odd.

Unpowered orbs aren't the only item. Right now I'm trying to buy decorated mining urns for around 1 gp each and I've already got a couple hundred.

Sometimes people are just really impatient and put items in for 1 gp. Hell, I've done it before... :rolleyes:
