I'd like to buy some LP from other players. I don't want anyone knowing what I'll use those LPs for. So how would I do this ?

You don't. Only way to get LP is running missions for NPC corps or exchanging CONCORD LP at the npc corp of your choice. You can usually buy items from the LP store off the market, though.

I guess you could theoretically pay someone to fleet you while they run missions and have them share the reward with you when they turn the missions in. Other than that, there really isn't a way to purchase LP.

Oh :(

I wish players could sell their LPs for Aurum.

- 1 PLEX = 3500 AUR = ~583m ISK
- 1 AUR = 167k ISK = ?? LP


This way I would only need a PLEX and I could buy their LPs. I wouldn't care if they also have TAX and broker fee for AUR in market. Let CCP have their 3-4% cut. I wonder if this tax would count as "Micro Transactions"?

1 plex = 3500 aur

but 3500 aur is not 1 plex , in fact you cant buy plex with aur .

I believe generally when people are talking about buying/selling LP, they are paying people to buy things from the store for them, for an agreed upon markup. The person cashing out their LPs saves the hassle of selling the items themselves, while the person buying the items from them has a way to make a profit as well.

If you don't want someone to know about some profit maker you've found, the best way would be to use an alt, and several different sellers. If you want 1000 items, try and find 10 different people to sell you 100. I think the sell orders forum used to have people selling LP, or you can put up a want ad.
