Ever since GOM closed, we have had a one sided market, where the buyer could not ask for a better price like the seller could. I have bought much less $L since the end of GOM. Just curious if anyone else is the same way. When will we see Buy Limit Orders again?

I voted 'I don't buy $L' but in a way I do... when I need something, I just wait a while to cash out and let some accumulate.

Under current market conditions that's essentially paying a margin for an $L balance, but perhaps that might change?

I wish you had used a more neutral tone in the wording of the poll options... would have been interesting to see the results of a poll on this topic.

Anyway, implementing limit buy orders is high on the web team's todo list.

Cheers,

You should let people setup recurring sales and recurring buys. Sort of like negative and positive "stipend tiers" - fire and forget. Inertia is a very powerful thing.

It's something we're strongly considering.

Voted for pie because I don't think buy orders would change how often or how many I buy. If I need Lindens, I just go to LindeX and buy them at whatever price they are (assuming it's near the norm of about L$1000 = US$4).
