I've seen 10% - 15% below Jita mentioned. Is that below the high or the low? Any experience you've had with a system like this would be helpful.

Honestly its whatever you feel your time is worth. When I built a few more buyback spreadsheets I often did ((buy price)-5%)

The miners were happy with that as selling to us was optional and we offered additional benefits as well as a tracking sheet so they could get all competitive with one another.


If you're in it for the isk get as close to sell\min as you can.
That is my suggeation as a TRADER.

You need to decide how much less than sell\min your willing to take becabecause of the benifits your fleet

Ore buybacks are a long-term scam relationship. You want to con people into selling to your corp now and in the future.

These work best when the margins are as large as you can manage without actively irritating the people you are buying ore from enough that they seek alternate options. Content scam clients are better than irate ones if it's a long con.

I would suggest halfway between Jita price and the local regionwide buy orders (if they exist). Failing that, Jita buy order price minus three times what Red Frog would charge to haul the stuff there (if viable).

It depends on how far you are from a major trade hub. Non-lazy miners will weigh the time & energy to transport... if it's only 2 or 3 hops away to sell for 5% more ISK, they won't sell to you.
