Perhaps someone can comment on this that is more familiar with how things work today with all the computer systems involved, but I don't think a market maker in the "pinks' has to actually have an order for the shares they are showing. They do have to offer a "firm quote" for the price and shares they are showing. But I don't think it is the same as if you were seeing 1000 shares of Microsoft or Intel that might be routed from an actual buy/sell order for that amount. However I might be wrong, just seems I read that somewhere!
