Why does this "top" feature exist? several items at a price better than everything else can throw off the numbers quite a bit..
 
I would suggest listing the prices up to 200 of a particular item, and then listing the top prices within this selection such as:
 
(buying)
5 of x at 10g
25 of x at 11g
70 of x at 12g
100 of x at 15g
 
The same would apply when selling..
 
This would make it much easier to buy in bulk and know exactly how much you need to enter into the cash field straight away without guessing for 1 1 1 1 1 until the "top 1" vanishes and you're left with a normalized price in the top 1 10 and 50 fields..
 
I would also like to see "tab" make you switch between the bid and buyout fields (applies to AH), and the price in the field when buying and selling automatically default to the best price, not the most expensive (if buying) or cheapest (if selling).
 
That covers my thoughts on how AH and CEX both function, what do you all think?

You are correct the top 10, 50 are pretty poor (top 1 is fine).
 
It is because they are averages (why? nobody knows). I.e. Top 10 would be 7.5s if there were 5 units @ 5s and 5 units @ 10s. This gives you very little information on the depth of the market (when placing buy orders I have to switch to the buy now tab to see how much quantity is on the market right now ffs).
 
What they should do with the UI (they dont even have to adjust the market structure at all, even though I take issue with some parts).
- Fix the "top" listing information (just removing the averages and using the absolute price of the 50th listing would be fine)
- Put in total depth of market (total quantity of buy orders/sell orders)
- 1 or 2 tabs max, why the hell you need seperate tabs for buy now and buy orders is beyond me. You would put it all into one tab by having a little checkbox at the top saying "Filter by what I have in my inventory" - done; you can now buy and sell on the same screen.

			what i meant by top 1 not being fine is more often than not there isn't just 1 item there at that price, but not enough to be "top 10"
