New to station trading, just using it to fund a bit of solo PVP which I'm enjoying very much. Let me start by explaining my usual approach:

Default flipping: (1) see item with > 10% difference between buy/sell order for an item (e.g. ammo); (2) list ammo b/o, update 0.01 isk as required; (3) b/o fills; (4) set a s/o for the ammo more or less immediately, update when needed; (5) s/o fills, ammo is swapped for a profit around the original estimated figure.

Pretty standard trading, then.

However, I found that on a few occasions the s/o price has plummeted since setting the original b/o. So if it's relisted, the profit margin will be under the 10%. So, I've kept the stock, stuck it in a can (with intended s/o tag) and fingers crossed I will list it when the s/o goes back up. Since doing this, I've been wondering, ''what if I intentionally set a b/o without the <10% isk difference, to resell later?''

Question is: how common is this practice (not relisting immediately), how often is it done intentionally, and what is this type of trading called?

Thanks in advance for patience. Worth adding, I know nothing about market/trading/accounting in RL. But I'm aware of some 101 things like the Bullworth burger.

Thanks !

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
