If someone puts in a market order to sell/buy a thinly traded stock the executed price may be way away from the current listed price.

There are many reasons why a person may put in a market order(most of them bad IMO) but I can certainly see that someone might want out of this stock no matter what the price.

I imagine that many of the people that have shares of stock in this company received them as dividends from previous companies. As a result there is less connection to the stock.
