Hello all,

I'm having some trouble understanding these two skills - can anyone help me? Here's an example of a scenario, and I'm wondering if either of these skills will help.

I'm at station A
I want to buy something at station B which is 5 jumps away
I then want to sell this at station C (where I can see the best price) which is 4 jumps from station B.

At the moment I'm travelling from A to B to C - will either of these skills help me reduce that? I've seen buyer orders show a range on them, however can it apply the other way to prevent me having to move around so much?

Thanks

Bertie

Skills explained

Objects are never moved for you. If you place a region wide buy order, you have to run around and pick everything up.

The remote trade skills are just convenient for doing stuff like:
* Sitting in you home system 10 jumps from Jita but in the same region (The Forge) and placing a buy order (Procurement) that can be filled within 1 jump of Jita (Visibility) in case somebody dumps stuff in Perimeter.
* Placing buy orders as you navigate a freighter out of the region or participate in a mining op (not docked).

Thanks for that - makes sense now.

Just on the topic of trading - from what I can see there are some products that can't be manufactured and don't have any use. For example spirits are on the market, but I don't understand why you would need them and how they get there in the first place?

Thanks again

They are purely to make isk on by moving from one area to another. It's trading in the npc market.
