Simple no one was placing market orders to sell! It doesn't have to be a market order. Anyone can place a sell limit at a specific price at any time. Like I said, I was right in the middle of the action, with plenty of volume going off at my bid price, yet I wasn't getting filled. After waiting verrrrry patiently, I assumed that someone very special(ist) was buying in front of me. I then decided to hit the offer because I do want to own more of the stock and 1/8 is trivial given the big picture. My order on the bid did get filled eventually, but the execution was in a manner that looked like I was being thrown scraps and is not representative of the tape. I never did see my order at the offer print. I've never experienced anything like this before. Yes, best bid = highest bid. Anyway, net/net I'm glad I added more AXC today.
