Item
Sell / Buy? Best sell (you buy, or place a sell just under) / best buy (instant sale) on this hub's main station. Sorted by sell. Vol/day? Average units traded per day over 30 days. Higher means the item moves faster, so capital cycles quicker. Inputs cost? Market cost of all inputs for one production cycle, bought at their best sell price. Profit/unit? Net profit per unit of product: revenue − inputs − customs − freight, at the default rates shown above. Margin? Profit as % of total cost (inputs + customs + freight). Green above zero, red below — buying is cheaper than building. Profit/day? Profit/unit × the product's daily traded volume — the realistic daily earnings ceiling for this reprocessing chain.
