When you buy good on the world market at a fixed price is that the price you always pay?
A week ago I put an order in for books on FB world when the market was depressed. The order was partially filled. The market price went up. Today I looked at my inventory and noticed a moutain of books in stock. My order was filled. The current market price is 60% higher than the price when I placed the order.
So what price did I pay? The current market price or the fixed price I ordered at?
(First I assume the price you pay is modified by the quality factor.) |

As far as I know, if you use fixed price, with NO increase modifier (i.e. +10% per month not filled, etc.) your order will be filled at the price you requested. Modified by Q, yes.
If you use an increase modifier, the order will be adjusted each month upwards by that modifier until (or if) it reaches the point where it is filled.
So your books cost you the fixed price IF you had no modifier, or they cost you the fixed price plus the modifier times the months that the order wasn't filled.
What I used to do was use fixed price, no increase mod., to order supplies that were deep green. I'd set the fixed price 10-15% below market and see if I got lucky.
I don't know if this still works or not, haven't tried it this time around. |

I ordered for a fixed price with no modifier. |

Then it should have given you the order at the price you asked.
Unless, and I don't know this answer, there is a point where the order reaches a certain "age" and the game turns it into an auto-immediate order.
If it does, of course your price would jump 30-40%, plus the Q.
Like I say, I don't know the answer to if the game has that built in. I've always manually cancelled anything that hits 4 months unfilled. |

I don't mannually cancel the order. I just leave it alone. I often see these orders stay open for one or two game years and eventually get filled. I never know what price I paid for the goods.
The game doesn't give you a detailed list of what you purchsed and at what price. |

Ever since I started playing I have seen people ask for this information, the actual figures for products purchased by any other means than contract.
No promises or action seems to have been made by the GMs as of yet sadly. |
