RE: "So, if it is not manipulation ..."

The answer depends on where your position is in the time Q when the other asks match you. If you are first (as you should be), then I don't see a real issue. Very possible that traders with busted options have programs to match the current best ask.

On the other hand, if these guys get the orders ahead of you, that is bogus.

<extream sarcasm>I'm certain the SEC would crack down on that though. </extream sarcasm>
