Great Omega Sale on the New Eden Store - i will go for the 12 months

As sure as night follows day after a real money sale comes the New Eden Store Sale.

And this one is a good sale.  Not the best ever - we once had bigger discounts - but very good nonetheless.

(the definitions of each column are below but it is mostly intuitive.)

As the Chart above shows, if you buy the 12 month deal, and assuming Plex costs 5.1 million, then you would spend 13.8 billion vs 30.6 billion if you just bought the Omega one month at a time (or 18.4 billion in the every day "sale" that is in the store for 12 months).

Buying the 12 month deal means you effectively get over 6 months for free vs buying 1 month Omega at a time. (see the explanations below).

Buying the 12 month deal means you are paying 1.2 billion per month vs the normal 2.6 billion if you bought Omega 1 month at a time.

It is all a bit of a no-brainer.

Almost . . . . . The final column "Monthly Breakeven Return" is explained below but effectively these deals only make sense if your business is unable to generate these monthly returns.  So, if your business generates a 15% return (on assets) each month then the 24 month Omega does not make sense, it would be better to buy 1 month Omega at a time and invest those billions into the business.

What am i going for?

I am going from 8 Omega Accounts to 5 as i have explained in this post.

And one of my Accounts is already Omega'd out to October 2027, something to do with being halfway through a cracking bottle of red wine when buying Omega last year.

So, that leaves 4 Accounts to deal with.

I don't really want to lock in for 24 months, there will always be a sale coming along.  So 12 feels a better idea.

So i will spend the cool 55 billion (4 x 13.8) to buy those Omega's tonight.

For the accountants / nerds out there, lets be careful

But, the calculation is not quite as simple as that, we must consider that we always have a "sale" and also that we are laying down several billion for a longer time period of Omega instead of investing those billions into our businesses and merely buying Omega  one month at a time.  In other words, we are forgoing revenues to buy Omega.

the rest of this is for accountants and nerds only, you have been warned . . . . 

The normal "sale"

There is always a sale going on for Omega.  The normal cost for 1 month of Omega is 500 Plex, 3 months is offered at 1200 Plex (vs the expected 1500 Plex), 6 months if 2100 Plex (vs the expected 3000 Plex), etc.

The table below shows the savings that can be acquired by buying longer term Omega:

Months = this shows the row data for 1 month Omega, 3, 6, 12 and 24

Normal Cost = in this case assuming Plex is 5.1 million cost and 500 plex needed for each month, so the cost for each period is number of months x 500 x 5.1 million

discount = this is the simple discount that the Plex actually required for each period gives vs the normal cost.  so for 3 months we need 1200 plex vs the 1500 that it would require of we bought 1 month 3 times, so a 20% discount.  The discount rises the longer the time period of Plex bought.

Offer Plex = This is the number of Plex required in the "sale" we get all the time in the New Eden Store

Actual Cost = This is the billions required to buy the Omega using the Plex required under the Offer column x the price of the plex.

Total Savings = Actual Cost - Normal Cost.  Simple savings calculation.

Monthly Saving = This takes the total savings and makes it on a per month basis which allows us to compare each time period.  The monthly saving rises with as the time period gets longer.

Total Return = Total Savings / Actual Cost.  A measure of the costs saved by buying that time period in the sale.

Months Saved = shows how many months therefore we have saved in the sale by taking part in the sale.  For example, the 24 month period shows that we would buy 6600 Plex vs the normal 24 x 500 = 12000.  That means we have saved 5400 Plex (12000-6600) which is the equivalent to 10.8 months (5400/500).  So for a 12 month Omega we save more than 6 months.  For a 24 month Omega we save 14 months.  In other words, we are effectively playing the game for free in those months.

Months bought = this is the period less the months saved.  In other words, looking at it from the point of view of how many additional months of Omega did we buy for free.

Simples.

Lets look at todays sale

Firstly, the discount has risen as we showed above.  That feeds through to better savings. etc.

But what i wanted to bring up here is the "Monthly Breakeven Return".  This measures how much my business would have to return each month to make it a better idea to stick with buying 1 month Omega rather than investing billions for a longer period Omega and forgoing the revenues / profits that those billions would have generated in my business.

For example, it would only make sense to buy a 12 month Omega if my business could not return 19.5% per month.  For the 24 month deal, it only makes sense if my business can not generate a 10% return.

This is important.  The 24 month Omega may look great but if your business generates more than 10% return per month then it is not such a good idea.

A Review of Manufacturing

For a long time i have tried to get into manufacturing and i can't really say i have made it work so far.

As the chart below shows, i have made 3 attempts to make it work:

1) 2021

2) 2022 - 2023

3) 2025 - 2026

I think to really make it work i need to be earning a consistent item profits of 8 billion per month from one account and therefore making 30 billion of sales.  That will allow me to cover all transaction taxes and broker fees and so leave enough to pay for Omega and invest into the manufacturing business.

A casual look at the chart below will show that this has never really occurred.

But, perhaps because i am part way through my bottle of wine, i will not be giving up.

My main problem is that i have not worked out a systematic process to go through like i have in my Regional Trading business.

And that is because i want to start at 100 miles per hour rather than right at the beginning.

Progress so far

Very opportunistic.  No real process.  There are some items i manufacture that no one else does in Jita.  They may sell, they may not.  No real sense of a constant asset generation.

The Plan going forwards

I am noticing some items in the Regional Trade Hubs that are not being sold that i could manufacture, including the station i am seeding in Kihtaled.

The second thing i will do is try and explore this whole contract market for selling hulls.

What i should do is start from the beginning and pretend i know nothing about manufacturing and therefore allow my skills and understanding to build up over time.  But lets leave that idea on the back burning for now.

The Fall of UAJ5-K = 105 billion Sell Orders into Asset Safety = 30 billion cost to me

This post is a bit out of date but worth talking about.

The summary is that a station being destroyed leading to my assets going into Asset Safety cost me 30 billion in all.

Market Seeding outside of Highsec

Go back a while and i was seeding a market in UAJ5-K, in the Region Outer Passage.

The station was run by the declarationsofwar team with their corporation Noir.

In all i had sell orders of 105 billion up and all was going fine.

But then in April it was lost to another corporation and my assets on the market went into Asset Safety.

They talk about it in their podcast The Fall of UAJ5-K.

What is Asset Safety?

This is a mechanism where the purpose, i believe, is to encourage players to have assets in player owned structures.

Quite simply, if the structure is destroyed then all your assets are put in either the nearest NPC station or the a player owned station in the same system within 5 days.  Otherwise, within 20 days they are put in the nearest system station.

If the station is in the same system then you pay 0.5% of the value of the assets to release them.  If they are in a different system then you pay 15%.

But the general idea is that you don't lose your assets entirely and so takes the sting out of holding assets outside of highsec.

My situation

My assets were initially put in another station in the system but it was soon destroyed.  Therefore, my assets ended up in Konora.  Which is a mere 45 jumps from Jita, part of which is through low and null sec.

The cost of all this

I had 105 billion of sell orders up.

Against this 105 billion i had my usual 20% provision = 21 billion.#

The Value of the assets turned out to be 66 billion.

I had to pay 10 billion to release them.

Therefore the costs were in two parts:

1) the cost of releasing the assets = 10 billion.

2) the mark to market costs = (105-21) - 66 = 18 billion.

So, total cost was 28 billion.

The mark to market costs arise because the market value of the items i am selling fell since i bought them.

And then there will be the cost of couriering the assets which i estimate will be 2.5 billion.

So, lets call it 30 billion cost all in.  So about a month's worth of profits these days.

Lessons learned

Absolutely none at all.

This is all part of the game.  I can't take the ISK with me if i leave.  Cracking stuff.

For the sake of some ISK i am pushing the boundaries of my game play.  Only wish i had done this a lot sooner.

Next Steps

I think i have found another station to seed.  Will update the blog if i go ahead.

Spreadsheets used in the alpha to omega challenge - the main trading sheet

I used two spreadsheets in my challenge (technically two worksheets on the same spreadsheet) that both made heavy use of the Eve Excel Addin.

The purpose of the spreadsheet was to keep a track with what i had for sale, what had been sold, what spare Sale slots i had and what items i should buy in Jita to put up for sale in Dodixie.

In this post i will talk about the main trading sheet.

A prior post talked about the workbook i used to find new items to consider selling.

Eve Excel Addin

I have previously covered using the Eve Excel Addin in other posts - so i wont do it here.  So for now i wont talk about how to install it but i will go through the formulas i used.

Suffice to say, it installs like any other excel Addin and you need to connect your characters to it using the easy to follow and intuitively labeled button "Add a Character".  You need to do this for all characters you want data on, not merely Accounts only.

The Main Trading Sheet

As with the prior post, get yourself a cold drink, a spare 30 minutes and some patience to follow all this . . . . . 

The purpose of this worksheet is to keep track of what you have for sale, keep track of the spare slots you need to fill and to identify items to Buy (from Sell Orders) in Jita to sell in Dodixie.

This is where the real work is done and the one i spent most time looking at daily.

There are five parts to this worksheet

Part 1) The list if items i have for currently sale in Dodixie

Part 2) A cheeky manual part that takes this list a makes it readable in a worksheet

Part 3) The universe of items i can sell (fed by the prior worksheet)

Part 4) A list of items derived from Part 3 to buy from Jita

Part 5) My current wealth

Part 1) The list if items i have for currently sale in Dodixie

I need this list to firstly check which items need to be adjusted if undercut but also to show how many slots i have free.

As ever, for any excel addin details of a character we need the character ID which can be found on the character screen ingame.

On the ingame screen, press the character face to bring up the character window.  Right click the name to bring up the menu and select <copy>.

Paste this somewhere = <a href=showinfo:1373//2124084989>James Macdonell</a>.

In this case the 2124084989 is the character ID.

Using this we can get the items each character has for sale and related details such as volume and price.

In my case the character ID (2124084989) was in cell W4.

Column 1 = EVEONLINE.CHARACTER_ORDERS(W4).type.  This will bring down all items the character has for sale.

Column 2= EVEONLINE.CHARACTER_ORDERS(W4).volume_remain.  This will bring down the volume of all these items.

Column 3 = EVEONLINE.CHARACTER_ORDERS(W4).price.  This will bring down the price for each item for sale.

Column 4 = column 2 x column 3.

This list can be copied and pasted into the quick bar as an easy way to go through each item to check to see if the price needs to be updated.

Part 2) A cheeky manual part that takes this list a makes it readable in a worksheet

I need to separate list of column 1 in normal text

OK, those good with spreadsheets can probably do this automatically.  But i need to take column 1 above and convert into a normal list in the workbook to be read by other parts of the workbook.

Hence, if i copy the list in Column 1 above and paste it somewhere else.  I can then highlight it, right click and select Data Type and then select Convert to Text to give:

Part 3) The universe of items i can sell (fed by the prior worksheet)

OK, this the where the magic happens.

The above shows:

Column B shows with an "x" any item that i have currently for sale in Dodixie and therefore should not be purchased in Jita.

Column C shows all the potential items i could buy from Jita, taken from the workbook i used to find new items to consider selling.

Column D then converts it into Excel Addin format

Column E shows the Jita Sell Price

Column F shows the Dodixie Sell Price (the 10000032 is the ID for the Dodixie region)

Column G shows the profit = Column F - Column E

Column H then shows the margin = Column G / Column F

Column I then shows any item where the margin is over 20% (or whatever i had in yellow in cell i2) and where the price is over the minimum selected (thats the 0 in yellow in cell i1) and which i don't currently have for sale (the x in Column B).  Such items are shown with an x and are items i could consider buying from Jita to sell in Dodixie.

The formulas are (looking at row 4):

Column B: this is an Index Match formula that sees if the item in Column C is in the list in Part 2 above.  It if is, then it gets an x which means i ignore it.

Column C: this is a manual list of items that came from the prior workbook.  By the time i had finished the project it was some 177 items long.

Column D: EVEONLINE.INVENTORYSEARCH(C4,1) where C4 is the item in Column C.  Technically we need to expand this in case the item as a ' at the start so becomes IFERROR(EVEONLINE.INVENTORYSEARCH(C4,1),EVEONLINE.INVENTORYSEARCH("'"&C4,1))

Column E: EVEONLINE.MARKET_ORDERS_STATS(10000002,D4.id).sell.min where D4 is the item in Column D

Column F: EVEONLINE.MARKET_ORDERS_STATS($F$2,D4.id).sell.min where $F$2 is the Dodixie Region ID in this case 10000032.

Column G: F4-E4

Column H: G4/F4

Column I: IF(AND(B4<>"x",H4>=$I$2,F4>=$I$1),"x","")

What this will show are all the items (shown by a x in column I) that i could buy from Jita to put up for sale in Dodixie.

Part 4) A list of items derived from Part 3 to buy from Jita

This is where i get manual again.

Column I is as above, where x shows i can buy the item to be sold.

What i then did in Column J is put an x beside the column I x to agree to buy it.

The placing of that X brings up the Jita Sell Price in Column k, the profit in Column L and importantly the item name from Column C.  These are all simple spreadsheet formulas.

Now the idea is to select enough items to buy to fill up all spare sale slots in Dodixie and to have enough ISK left over to contract out the items to be couriered from Jita to Dodixie and then have enough ISK to pay the Broker Fees to put them up for sale in Dodixie,

You can select the whole of Column M and copy and paste them into the Quickbar for fast buying.  And use the Multibuy button ingame to really speed that up in Jita, as i showed in this post.

Part 5) My current wealth

And finally, to keep track of my wealth:

Looking at row 4:

Column W is the character ID i manually put in.

Column X is the character name. =EVEONLINE.CHARACTER(W4)

Column Y is the ISK on that character.  =EVEONLINE.CHARACTER_WALLET_BALANCE(W4)

Column Z is the sum of all sell orders which is the sum of the Sell Orders in Part 1 above,

Column AA is the 20% provision i take against each Sell Order to cover transaction taxes and price cuts

Column AB was for any spare inventory i had

Column AC for the rare occasion i had a courier contract on the go and 20% provided for =IFERROR(SUM(EVEONLINE.CHARACTER_CONTRACTS(W4,,"outstanding").collateral),0)*80% + IFERROR(SUM(EVEONLINE.CHARACTER_CONTRACTS(W4,,"in_progress").collateral),0)*80%

In AD was the value of all Plex i held:  =EVEONLINE.MARKET_ORDERS_STATS(19000001, 44992).sell.min

And then Column AE was the total of it all.

Letting some Omega Accounts go back to Alpha

I currently have 7 Omega Accounts and 1 more if i include the alpha to omega project.

I am letting the Omega Account generated by the alpha to omega project lapse back to alpha anyway.

4 Omega Accounts went to 7 in June 2025

I used to have 4 but extended this to 7 in June 2025 on the back of a (then) CCP

 deal.  I took 12 month Omega for 7 accounts and by mistake another 12 months on one of these accounts.  I spent 143 billion.

Over the next 3 months they all come up for renewal  1 in June, 2 in July, 1 in August, 2 in September and the final one in October 2027.

The question is which is the 7 accounts justify Omega status.

What is required to remain Omega

My rule is that an account must be able to finance a three month Omega itself.

That requires 1200 Plex which at 4.7 million a shot = 5.6 billion isk = 1.9 billion per month.

My metrics are that i aim to make a 16% profit margin.  I.e. for every 1 billion of sales i hope to make 160 million of profits after all costs (taxes, courier costs, etc).  Therefore, i need to make 12 billion of sales on each account (3 characters) each month.

The 4 Trading accounts do well enough

Trading Account 1 (i lack imagination) has characters in Dodixie, Amarr and Jita and i justifies its existence.  Easily.

Trading Account 2 has characters in Rens and Hek, and a trader in Kihtaled - PleniMart where i am helping to seed the market.  The character in Kithaled is a manufacturer / trader.  Easily.

Trading Account 3 has characters in Sobaseki and Tash Murkon, and a trader in Kihtaled - PleniMart where i am helping to seed the market.  Does ok.  Not shooting the lights out.

Trading Account 4 has characters in Arnon and Alentene, and a trader in a trader in Kihtaled - PleniMart where i am helping to seed the market.  This Account comes close but does justify its Omega status.

Two accounts don't justify themselves

One of my regrets over the last 12 months is not being able to find other locations to trade from that would allow an account to finance its Omega status.  That is my fault, real life getting in the way.

One account is actually my first account from 2012 which i was turning into a manufacturing account but i so far have not really been able to get this to work.  So instead of pressurising myself i will let it move back to Omega whilst i rethink things through.  The characters in Kithaled all have decent manufacturing skills.

The other account has characters sitting all over the place, mostly surplus to requirement.  They will lapse back to Omega whilst i rethink things.

They lapse in June and July.

Keeping one additional account as Omega

I have one account that has one character as a trader in Kihtaled - PleniMart where i am helping to seed the market + 1 character that i am moving into Boystin to see if i can make this a market worth trading from + another character that was in a low sec market but it was destroyed so i had to leave.

Lets see if i can make this one work.

Omega Cost going forwards

I will wait for the next New Eden Store deal and then likely go for 12 months for each of them.

If i bought the 12 months today then i would spend 3,600 Plex x 5 accounts = 18,000 Plex, at 4.7 million = 85 billion Isk (so equates to 7 billion per month or 1 billion per accounts, such is the discount you get for a 12 month Omega).

I have 78 billion isk spare so would be doable.  But lets wait for a deal.

Spreadsheets used in the alpha to omega challenge - the item universe finder sheet

I used two spreadsheets in my challenge (technically two worksheets on the same spreadsheet) that both made heavy use of the Eve Excel Addin.

The purpose of the spreadsheet was to keep a track with what i had for sale, what had been sold, what spare Sale slots i had and what items i should buy in Jita to put up for sale in Dodixie.

In this post i will talk about the Universe Finder Sheet.

Eve Excel Addin

I have previously covered using the Eve Excel Addin in other posts - so i wont do it here.  So for now i wont talk about how to install it but i will go through the formulas i used.

Suffice to say, it installs like any other excel Addin and you need to connect your characters to it using the easy to follow and intuitively labeled button "Add a Character".  You need to do this for all characters you want data on, not merely Accounts only.

The Universe Finder Sheet

Get yourself a cold drink, a spare 30 minutes and some patience to follow all this . . . . . 

The purpose of this worksheet is to find items for sale in Jita that cost up to a certain amount (so 1 million isk initially and then up to 400 million isk by the end of the project) that also could be sold in Dodixie for a margin of at least 20%.

It is this worksheet that created the universe of items i would then review every night to decide what to buy in Jita to sell in dodixie.

Therefore, there are three parts to this worksheet.

Part 1) a list of potential items taken from the ingame market to assess.

Part 2) few columns using the excel Eve Addin that shows the sell price in Jita, the sell price in Dodixie and therefore the margin

Part 3) a final column that selected all items from Part 2) that cost up to the maxium limit (say 1 million, or 400 million, or whatever) that also achieved a 20% margin but also sold enough volume to make it worth while.  Enough Volume = at least 1 item sold per day at the start, or 1 item sold every 4 days at the end.

Getting the list of potential items for Part 1)

Quite easy, comes from the ingame market browser.

What we need to do is use the copy and paste ability from the Quickbar to the Spreadsheet.

Firstly, clear your Quickbar by clicking the bin button on it.

And then go to the "Browse" tab and lets assume we are pulling down all the blueprints to assess.

In this case, right-click on the Blueprint item and select "Add Group to Quickbar Root"

This will give you the Blueprint item in the Quickbar:

And then it gets quite tedious, you need to single click on each horizonal arrow to expand all the folders and sub folders such that every single blueprint is showing.

And then select all (ctrl A) and then copy and paste it all into a spreadsheet (ctrl C, ctrl V).  You will find that only the items are copied over, not the folder names.

Assessing the items to determine the sales price in Jita, sales price in Dodixie, and therefore the profit margin for Part 2)

6 columns, the first being the list of items we will assess.  The second being the Eve Online readable version we need for the Addin to pickup the prices.  The third being the sell price in Jita.  The fourth being the sell price in Dodixie.  The fifth being the profit (= Dodixie Sell price - Jita Sell price).  The sixth being the profit margin = profit / Dodixie Sell Price = (Dodixie Sell price - Jita Sell price) / (Dodixie Sell Price)

The number in Yellow is the Dodixie id number.  I could have hard coded it into the Dodixie formula.

Column C = list of items we got in Part 1.

Column D used the formula =IFERROR(EVEONLINE.INVENTORYSEARCH(C4,1),EVEONLINE.INVENTORYSEARCH("'"&C4,1))

A few things in this formula.  C4 is the item in cell C4.  The 1 after the C4 is just telling the formula to find the exact item in C4 and not all strings.

The second part of the IFERROR statement addresses the matter where some items start with an " ' " where an excel spreadsheet struggle to deal with initially.

Column E then uses Column D to get the minimum Sell price in Jita.

=EVEONLINE.MARKET_ORDERS_STATS(10000002,D4.id).sell.min

so, the 10000002 is the id for the region "The Forge".  and so this formula technically pulls up a list of all Sale prices of the relevant item in The Forge, and then the final part ".min" selects the lowest sale price.

Column F does the same for Dodixie.

=IFERROR(EVEONLINE.MARKET_ORDERS_STATS($F$2,D4.id).sell.min,"")

where $F$2 refers to the number in yellow which is the Sinq Laison region id which is where Dodixie is.

And so Column G and H are mathematical as explained above.  G = F-E, H = G/F.

From this getting the list of items to use as potential ideas to buy in Jita

This part is pure spreadsheet stuff.

My inputs in yellow: the top cell in yellow in this case was the minimum Jita sale price i was looking at, the next cell was the maximum sale price in Jita i was looking at, and then the % number in yellow was the minimum market i was considering.

So in this example i am looking for all items that sold for more than 10 million and less than 400 million with a profit margin of at least 20%.

And therefore in Column L i am merely listing all items from Columns C to H that meet the above criteria.

And quite simply i was using Column I to identy all items that met this criteria

=IFERROR(IF(AND(E4>$I$1,E4<$I$2,H4>=$J$1),1+MAX($I$3:I3),0),0)

and so Column L to list all items based on a simple number list in Column K
=IFERROR(INDEX(C:C,MATCH(K4,I:I,0)),"")

In the case of the 587 blueprints that i assessed, there were 30 that sold between 10m to 400m in Jita and had a profit margin of at least 20% if sold in Dodixie.

the final step is to then put those 30 into the Quickbar (copy and paste, Ctrl C then Ctrl V) and cycle through them all looking for items that sell once a day, or later on in the project once every 3 or 4 days, and that have very little competition.

Delete items from the Quickbar that fail the volume test and keep the rest in another list on your spreadsheet as a potential source of items to consider to buy from Jita to sell into Dodixie.

650,000 Free Skills Points and 7 Days Omega being given out in the NES Store

The New Eden Store has some freebies for the Cradle of War expansion.  And the beauty of this is that you only need to log into the account, not actually into the game.  So can be done quickly.

Firstly, just for logging in daily there are skill points and other items to collect:

You only have to log into your account to get this one, you don't need to log into the game itself.

This will deliver you 650,000 Skill points if you are Omega, 250,000 Skill points if you are Alpha.

And Secondly, in the New Eden Store there are the normal 15,000 free skill points and 7 days of Omega to collect for free.

Again, you only have to log into your account to get this one, you don't need to log into the game itself.

All these are available for all Omega accounts, and lesser versions for Alpha accounts (but still the 7 days of Omega i believe).

Gets tedious if you have several accounts but certainly my PC allows me to log into all my accounts at the same time.

Alpha Market Trading - general tips on the mechanics of making this all work

Now that my project of taking an account from alpha to Omega and keeping it there is completed, below are some tips.

Excel

Excel is your friend.  It manages your business.  The Excel sheets you start off with when you isk is 10 million will be the foundations when your wealth is 2 trillion.

Start with them early and you will only get better as you build on them.

In a post in the near term i will show the sheets i used but don't underestimate the enjoyment of starting with spreadsheets you design yourself and then iterating them to greatness.

Copying from game to excel

The game is very much like a word doc, or excel spreadsheet.  Right clicking the mouse on an item name, character name etc and pressing copy, or selecting a list of items and right click - copy or CTRL C puts the info into your clipboard.

And then that can be pasted to Excel as text.

Items in your inventory, items from the market browser, items of text in descriptions etc.  you name it.  it all copies over.

Copying from excel to the game

Works exactly the same way.  Text can be copied from any platform into any text box in the game including your market quickbar.  Or the MultiBuy.  etc.

And its not just Excel.  You can copy text from word docs, websites etc.  The game will attempt to work out what you are meaning (so try and get the exact name).

Eve Excel add in

If you don't use any third party tools that keep track of your items, sell orders etc (like me, i don't use any of those) then the Eve Excel add in is a must.

In a following post i will show the spreadsheets and Eve Excel add in formulas i used.

Ingame Quickbar

Don't view this as a permanent list of items.  Look at it as a temporary list that is fed from copying and pasting from excel.

Multibuy

A beautiful function.  This allows you to buy a whole list of items in one shot rather than double clicking on each item and buying each item individually.

you can review the cost of each item vs Regional average to make sure you are not buying something at a stupid price.

But this saves a load of time.
