On a high liquidity niche (Oblitam for example) I'll fight like a demon to make the other person go away. I won't give all my secrets but basic strategy is to make sure when they list too low you're the buyer in more volume than they have and always buy recipes a little higher than them so you're checking the recipe price at least once a day.
I've been making tons of money off of Call to Arms for well over a year. So I can definitely verify that it is not the private niche of one or two people. ^_^

And I'm not the kind of marketeer who ever goes away from a profitable niche. I check my toons once a week, I make money, I buy in bulk well in advance at the price I want and I leave stuff up until it sells for the price I want.

This is an excellent example of how people who think they own a niche... don't. There are too many people marketing, even in a low turnover niche like this one.

Business has been very good with the release of Darkness Control.

This particular strategy is sometimes known as an inside straddle. That's been the basic strategy for skimming a flipper since the markets released.

As far as I've seen, there hasn't been a genuinely new market strategy invented in a very long time.
