hi there

i am just checking some of my olf BPO´s and wondered if i could really make such profits.

I am using

ISK per hour and this one

http://www.eve-cost.eu/calculator


both tools tell me i could make a profit, and i want to make sure I am using both right.
whats the "worst case" prices I need to use as a foundation to calculate profits ?

I would think its
Trade hub sell prices of materials

and

Buy prices for Items, right ?

thx

Use the hub where you buy / sell.
Generally its best to use Sell prices, that means you buy just from market and sell your stuff on your own sell orders.
If you buy materials from your own buy orders thats only bonus on top of the calcs.
And finally you very rarely sell your product straight to their buy orders.

Mineral Sell Prices and Finished Good Buy Prices will get you a proper, pessimistic estimation.

It's also what I use for my IPH.

^^ Doing it right.

If you want to augment your production profits with trading profits, go for it, but at least do yourself the favor of calculating your manufacturing profit in this fashion.
