I am here to request that SDS reconsider their "patch" to back orders. This mechanic has been in the game as long as I can remember and has been a very useful investment tool for those who are savvy enough (and patient enough) to use it. There are drawbacks for those investing: stubs are tied up fairly long term and those buy orders can always slow down if the card goes up even further, but patience leads to long term gain.
I must say that I personally see no good reason to take away this investment method. It is just as speculative as regular investment and you may be left holding the bag on an eventual crash if the card doesn't hit.
I am humbly asking that this decision be reconsidered and that back orders be returned.
To clarify a point that has been brought up: I completely agree that the seller should not be short changed in this scenario either. I believe the better solution to the problem would be to continue to honor these investments, but simply either a) connect all Quick Sells for these cards to the next buy order available or b) simply compensate the seller for the difference to quick sell. While I realize this could get complicated, I believe it would better honor this investment strategy that has been around a long time while still solving the issue of the seller being short changed because of their mistake. Both parties can benefit!
