Probably a cross-trade
 
without looking at the prices seems like it could be an order someone was having worked for them all day. then printed at the close.
 
Thanks for the replys. I notice this a lot when looking at afterhours trades and also occasionally in first few minutes of the market open and close. Sometimes (doesn't matter the time) a small trade of say 100 or so shares will be as much as 50% abive or below the market. Who would take the losing end of these trades?
