Trader gone after trying to send to a faction hub

You will receive an error message telling you that your standing with the faction is too low to trade there. They don't mention that your trader has been slaughtered though.

And placing a buy order with an offer price higher than Centrum is a money-loser; I can just place the order in Centrum and match the best offer price there. Sell orders at local hubs also tend to be counterproductive; most people are trying to sell at higher prices than Centrum, so it's unlikely their orders will be filled.

I buy at lower prices than Centrum and sell at higher prices than Centrum many times a day.

This topic is wandering a bit.

For unit production resources, you can sell higher than Centrum prices because you are adding the value of quicker delivery. Many big players will happily pay 10-20% more if they can get 10000 suits of chainmail in 5h instead of 22h. I've made good profits selling locally during the tournament.
