LP Buyback

                                                       LP Buyback

Simpified:
  1. 'A' buys items to convert and trades the items with 'B' + ISK cost to convert
  2. 'B' converts items and trades back to 'A'
  3. 'B' gives 'A' ISK value (payout = exhange rate x LP cost to convert)

Person A buys 20x Cap Booster 800's.
Cost to convert 20 of them is 2,000 LP and 2 mil ISK.
Person A trades 2 mil. ISK and the boosters to Person B.
Person B converts the 20x Cap Booster 800's to Navy Cap Booster 800's and trades them back to A.
Person A figures out the rate of exchange (ISK/LP) and gives that to B. If the rate agreed on for example is 700 per LP, then Person A gives 700 x 2,000  = 1,4 mil.

Where it gets harder to figure is when larger numbers are used.

Example 2:
If we use a larger number, say: 1,000. Person A buys 1,000 Cap Booster 800's. Since each order is 20 cap boosters, it means they trade 1,000 to Person B + the ISK cost to convert them all. If each order is 20x Navy Cap Boosters, it means that it takes 50 orders of 20x Navy Cap Boosters. So, the cost of each lot of 20 (2 mil ISK) has to be multiplied by the number of orders (50, in this case). So, the total cost to convert 1,000 Cap Boosters will be 50 x 2 mil = 100 mil ISK.

In this second case (converting 1,000 of them), Person A will buy 1,000, trade them and 100 million ISK to Person B. Person B will use the ISK and Cap Batteries provided to convert them all to Navy Cap Booster 800's and trade them back to Person A. Person A will then figure out that 50 orders at 2,000 LP an order (1.4 mil./order) = 50 x 1.4 mil. = 70 million ISK. So, when Person A gets the 1,000 converted Navy Cap Booster 800's back from Person B, they will then owe Person B 70 million ISK.

Eve Online - Faction Warfare Missioning

Basics: Gain ISK and LP by completing and turning in missions. Missions are against npc's (non-player "rats"). They generally involve destroying an object (like a reactor), or a head honcho rat (like a Sector Commander). With ISK you can purchase whatever you need off the Eve markets. LP you use to purchase items in your corporations Loyalty Points Store (LP = Loyalty Points). How lucrative is mission running? It depends on the tier the faction is at in the warzone. If you complete 20 missions, you should on average at Tier 3 get a payout of about 40 million ISK and 450K-550K LP. At about 700 ISK/LP that translates to about 350 mil. ISK. At Tier 4, those same missions completed should pay out 650k-850k LP. This would translate to about 550 mil. ISK. What do I use to run missions? Current doctrine suggests that if you're Amarr fighting against Minmatar, the best ship to use on Level 3 and 4 missions is a Stealth Bomber called the Hound . You can stay at range...

Draining the Swamp or Refilling It?

These are the current Trump Cabinet positions. Justice - Jeff Sessions Treasury - Steve Mnuchin Education - Betsy DeVos Transportation - Elaine Chao Health and Human Services - Tom Price Commerce - Wilbur Ross Housing and Urban Development - Ben Carson Defense - Gen. James Mattis I'm going to go through and describe both the good and bad of each choice. Foremost in mind will be the stated aim of Trump to 'Drain the Swamp'. Jeff Sessi ons  - Senator (Alabama):  C areer  in politics started in 1975 (Asst. US Attorney, Alabama). Reagan nominated him US Attorney for Alabama. Confirmed and held position for 12 years. Several allegations of racism dogged him over the years, highlighted by him calling the NAACP "un-American" and claiming civil rights did more harm than good " by trying to force civil rights "down the throats of people ". He has been Senator since 1996. He has the experience and expertise to head Justice, but his history in r...

My Day Trading Journey ep1: The Preliminary Plans of an Ignorant Fool

I remember a day in college where I accompanied my dad on some errand that resulted in us going into the off-hours floor of a local accounting firm. I was interested in possibly getting into accounting and saw a room crowded with desks, saying to him that it seemed they were full of people and couldn't use another. He told me that's not what he saw at all. He said when he looked around he saw a room so in need of people that they could hardly fit the desks in. I saw a business filled up and not needing anybody else. My dad saw it as proof they did. This stuck with me all these years. Perspective. Something my dad would often say was "You can't kid a kidder". I guess that was his way of saying 'Stop fooling yourself because you're not fooling me'. Search within yourself and when you get into something, do it with purpose, not a whim. This I've carried with me all my life. I have a wide assortment of interests, but in all of them I am obsessive. It...
