So, I found this lovely niche market, netting me 50M a day. Item's buy is at 600K, sell at 3.3-3.9M. The same item in other hubs sucks, it's like 3.1M buy, 3.3M sell.
One day some random dude starts raising the buy price in the usual manipulation way. Ok let's wait him out some days. The item goes to 700k then 800, then 1.1M... up and up. Other people (possibly the same guy) sells said item 5 jumps away for 2.8M then 2.6M then 2.5M. Others (it's always the same 3-4 noobs in this secondary hub, they always do the same actions) start 0.01 isking down *at the hub* based on the remote price so we quickly drop the hub's sell to 2.4M with huge numbers of it.
Now I'd expect for that "someone" to step in and finish the thing and effectively reset the market back to normal.
But 1 week goes. Nothing. 2 weeks. Nothing. 3rd week and the prices are still frozen to like 1.9 buy 2.1M sell and stuck forever and still with huge amounts of items dumped.
Is there anything I can do to unlock the market myself (I only have like 14 items)? Or do I just switch to something else? I kinda miss my 50M a day... |

I don't think that can really count as manipulation. If you think about it, you were the one taking advantage of the market. Even though you didn't actually act to manipulate buy prices downwards, you were making use of "artificially" low prices. The new buyer was essentially unmanipulating the market. It could be that he genuinely wants the items. As you've implied it's a pretty high volume item so obviously the demand is there. |

Why don't you just buy up all sell orders (at 2.1M) and sell the items at another hub at 3.1M?

1) I lack the ISK - I DO play since just 2009 and bothered with systematically earning money only since some weeks ago (!). Used to live day by day with mining some, missioning some, selling some, PvPing some . Then MD hit me on the head and now I want to get in industry . A gifted corp with POS also hit me mid way, just in case I was not sure wether to go ahead or not.
2) I don't have a freighter, so carrying those modules would be suicidal at best. I got all the BPCs to make one but also need to finish racial indy hauler V on the relevant alt to pilot it first.
