Our exchange only has sellers, we should have buyers too. Like in real stock exchange. Lets say I want to buy Oil at 28.5$/u, I will put my qty, quality and price, then my order will stay there until I cancel or it gets executed(Same as sell side currently). So as a buyer I will get good price and there will be more transactions in exchange. Current problems which I and I assume many ppl face is I want to Buy lets say crude oil at 28.5$/u but it is trading at 31.5$, I have no choice but to buy it at mp as I have other work to do, but when I am offline mp of crude oil comes down to 29$/u or soo. So I face this issue daily. What everyone say?

I strongly support this idea. The current exchange is incomplete. Buy orders would not only (1) help the players by saving effort on their purchases and (2) bring more transactions and liquidity to the exchange. They would also (3) help to determine the market prices for all goods. Currently we can see goods, particularly in high qualities, that are only offered by a few high-priced sell orders, but no transactions are carried out. The price of buy orders would be a complementary piece of information.
Real-life exchanges have evolved over centuries. There is a reason why they have both sell and buy orders.

This is the same as a Purchase Order in regular business. It would greatly enhance business operations. Please make this added feature a priority. Thanks!

I think it's a good idea. But some hurdles might be what if only half of your request is posted at the price you want? It could be hours before another user posts at that price or below. Also, if players request items at the same prices, how will they know their place in line to receive the items? It could lead to big buyers taking up huge amounts of stock for the best prices while smaller users are forced to pay higher prices.

It would be a beautiful addition to this game. I think alot of work is required to make it work. Like in stock exchange. All sell orders should match with corresponding buy orders. It's called a limit order when a predefined price is set and the order won't execute till matching sell/buy order is available in the exchange. Hope devs take this idea OP suggested n work on it.

Not really a fan of that idea, as it can be abused by rich players to „softlock“ an item price to keep it at the same price or higher.
