I used to be able to fill a sell order directly - irrespective of the price.. I beleive that was taken out for a 'best price' along with the selling in 'blocks' for a set price (a feature I liked about GOM)


Oh, yes, but the buy orders were still there. When you clicked "sell now", you essentially put in a market order that filled the buy orders. When you clicked "sell at a set price" you piled on another limit sell order and waited on someone to come along and click "buy now".

Shock horror I agree with RBD. The exchange isn't broken, it's doing exactly what a market is supposed to be doing.



Easy way around that. Stay standard member. Save up a ton of lindens. Pay 10 bux for premium account. Sell your lindens. Cancel account. Ya lost 10 bux. That's what I'd do anyway. I myself see no purpose in paying 10 dollars a month for this game. It caters to a select few while disregarding the majority of folks just trying to use this game to have some fun as opposed to those using it for some sweet tax free income.

How does this relate to my post you quoted? "Easy way around" what?
