Auto Retract of Invalid offers

I was looking through the space market Noticed People Offiing Percison Bombers and those wanting them I looked at the price I could buy at 3 gold coind and imeditly sell for 14.99 and pocket the 11.99 so I buy the 100 bombers and went to sell the person who wants them for 14.99 no longer has that in thier account. I am out the 3 gold coins. I know cost of doing buisness you win some you lose some. But I think if a person ask to buy something and no longer has that many gc in thier account it should be auto retracted what do you guys think

Agreed. I think offers made on the cash and space markets need to be looked at. The same is happening with population sales and some random players overbids on offers and the auction is a bust because the player no longer has coins.

Possible fix is that the amount of offers a player makes on Population or any other kind of offer on the Cash or Space markets should reserve the coins until the bid is won, or the player retracts. Also they player should not be able to bid on more offers than coins he/she may have. This would simplify the process and eliminate the spam offers, and save honest merchants a headache.

These kind of frivolous offers also may or may not be used to manipulate the spread on prices that can be offered on ceiling on bottom, and should be stopped.
