All you do is copy-paste stuff (cargo scan results, contract items, assets, inventory items, d-scan, EFT block) into the text area and you'll get an estimated price of all the items. This is useful for evaluating cargo scan results to see if targets are worth ganking, evaluating contract prices, determining how much all your stuff is worth, seeing how much a ship fitting is worth, etc.

Example: http://www.evepraisal.com/estimate/6808

Feature List:

  • Support for more formats: Cargo Scan, Ship Scan, EFT Formatting, D-Scan, Contracts, Assets Listing, inventory, 'All Stuff' column of dingo's d-scan tool
    • Saved Scans (to share over chat)
  • Up-to-date pricing being pulled from eve-central.com and eve-marketdata.com
  • Capital prices are determined by the price of its components.
  • Better scaling down for the in-game browser. It should scale down to a reasonably small window size and be useful
  • Auto-submit on paste (defaulted 'on' for the in-game browser). Really helps save a few seconds fumbling for the submit button.
  • Clicking on the a row in the IGB (in-game browser) opens the market window for that item.
  • Open Source: (https://github.com/sudorandom/cargoscanner) Feel free to insult my terrible, terrible code.


Current Issues:

  • Blue Print Copies are a problem. There's no way to get reliable prices for them so I just mark those as errors. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.
  • Named Ships(from asset list) show up as invalid lines currently... I'm not sure there's an easy way to fix this.


Technologies Used:

  • Flask + uWSGI + nginx + supervisor
  • memcached
  • sqlite3
  • jquery
  • Reverence (to grab type information from the game cache data) (https://github.com/ntt/reverence/)


Feel free to give suggestions/bring up issues. If there's anything you think is sketchy with how the data was parsed out or the pricing seems off send me the permalink and I'll get that fixed if I can.

Very nice web app! I have a feeling i am gonna use this a lot :)

A few suggestions: Make it possible to set a specific region or system. That would help when for example asking someone to buy the items you want from a specific region or major market hub.

Make an user database so users can look up certain price checks they did in the past and use them again.

Give some kind of indication on the 2 seperate prices that are on the right of each item if that is a sell order or buy order.

I dont know if this is important or not, but i have chickens.....

Very useful tool, thanks.
There's a bug currently, which can mess up the valuation greatly if you use detailed or list view with containers. Because they use a space there as the thousand separator, and evepraisal doesn't expect that to happen, you only get a single item in the parsed list.

Very nice! I will use this a lot

I only wish there was the ability to calculate the value of entered goods if they were to be refined. This would be especially helpful for contracts like this one http://www.evepraisal.com/estimate/145315 where it would take forever to make that many sell orders
