===NOTES===
+
This service lets you sell your ore, gas and ice directly to the campus from the AMC home system (Averon) and EVE Unversity's new infrastructure in Stacmon. The Buyback service offers a higher pay out than a new player would otherwise get without significant skills and standings, benefiting from both the higher value of the refined materials along with the prices in <font color="white">'''Jita'''</font>, where we sell them - not to mention the logistics of moving it.
−
As with all Google Doc Spreadsheets, you can either copy it to your own personal Google Doc area or download it as a Microsoft Excel (XLS) file or in an OpenOffice.org spreadsheet file.<br />

'''We will not accept any submissions that have not come via a Google Docs spreadsheet.'''<br />
 
−
Please do not download the spreadsheet if you intend to submit a buyback as your contract will be rejected immediately. <br />
 
  
−
==Instructions==
+
The fee for this service is 4% of the refined value of the ore, ice and gas submitted, which is automatically deducted from the corresponding Jita-buy prices by the spreadsheet, so you don’t need to work it out.

The AMC Buyback Spreadsheet is based on the EVE IVY Mining Op worksheet created by Scrapyard Bob.

It is used to request an ore/ice/gas "Buyback" within the AMC Buyback Service and from an FC while running a mining op.

Service Infomation

This service lets you sell your ore, gas and ice directly to the campus from the AMC home system (Averon) and EVE Unversity's new infrastructure in Stacmon. The Buyback service offers a higher pay out than a new player would otherwise get without significant skills and standings, benefiting from both the higher value of the refined materials along with the prices in Jita, where we sell them - not to mention the logistics of moving it.

The fee for this service is 4% of the refined value of the ore, ice and gas submitted, which is automatically deducted from the corresponding Jita-buy prices by the spreadsheet, so you don’t need to work it out.

The AMC Buyback has a recommended minimum of 25,000,000 ISK and a maximum of 5,000,000,000 ISK per personal Buyback contract.

Buybacks will generally be accepted within 24-48 hours. However availability of staff or other issues may delay acceptance to be slightly longer than this.


IMPORTANT: The campus will only accept buyback contracts issued from "Averon - The Ore Question", "Stacmon - Furirams Furnace", "Slays - Dairek's Chateau" or "Junsoraert - Happy Bottom Riding Club". If you have ore outside of our home system or HQ but still within the Elalan Constellation you can use our ore hauling service to transport it to Averon - The Ore Question. Fore more information please see this thread.

Current Version April 2022 (v6)

Buyback Spreadsheet

Instructions

Some brief instructions about how to prepare a personal Buyback at AMC, and how to maintain the spreadsheet during a mining op, are given below.

It's recommended to have the Contracting skill trained up to at least Level 1 to be able to have more than one outstanding contract submitted at a given time.

Filling the spreadsheet for personal Buyback

Prepare the spreadsheet

  1. Go to the current version. (Note: This link will only take you to the "Latest Version" section on the page.)
  2. Log into your Google account.
  3. Open the file menu and select "Make a Copy".
  4. Name it following this convention. For Personal use: "Your Name (DATE)" - e.g. Jefferson Spence (2014/11/18)

Work on the spreadsheet

  1. Make sure the ore/ice/gas that you'd like to submit is stacked.
  2. On the Paste Inventory tab, select cell A4, and copy and paste these from your in-game inventory.
    The "Icons" view in your inventory will not work for this. You need to use the "Details" or "List" view. ("Icon" is the only view that works if you have a NON-US settings in your local. Since "Details" and "List" only seem to work for them who has US as local)

IMPORTANT: Make sure to have default column settings and number of columns (7).

Submit the Buyback

Follow the section Submit the spreadsheet below.

Using the spreadsheet in a shared can mining operation

While running a mining op the participation of the fleet members needs to be tracked in the sheet.

Before the operation

  1. Go to the current version. (Note: This link will only take you to the "Latest Version" section on the page.)
  2. Log into your Google account.
  3. Open the file menu and select "Make a Copy".
  4. Name it following this convention. For Shared Can use: "SHARED CAN - FC-Name (DATE)" - e.g. SHARED CAN - Jefferson Spence (2014/11/18)
  5. Go to the top right of the spreadsheet and click on the "Share" button to open sharing settings. Change it from private to "Anyone with the link can view".
  6. Make sure haulers know what station you want the ore delivered to, and who to contract the ore to after the op.

During the operation

  1. Keep up with filling in the participation sheet with the start and stop times for each participant.
  2. Per AMC policy everyone involved in the op should be 1.00 shared weight no matter their role unless they voluntarily agree to less.

After the operation

  1. At the end of the operation have all ore contracted to the Fleet Commander (or whoever will be submitting the buyback contract).
  2. Make sure all the ore/ice/gas mined during the Shared Can is stacked.
  3. On the Paste Inventory tab, select cell A4, and copy and paste these from the in-game inventory.
    The "Icons" view in your inventory will not work for this. You need to use the "Details" or "List" view.
  4. Add any additional raw ISK to the ExtraISK tab if you had sold any salvage or modules from rats, received a cash donation, or had to pay an external freighter such as Red Frog Freight.
  5. Double check that all the participation information is correct and make sure to thank all those who participated in the op.

Submit the Buyback

Follow the section Submit the spreadsheet below.

After the Buyback is completed

  1. As soon as the Buyback is completed and paid out, you need to pay the fleet members.
  2. Open your spreadsheet again and go to the Participation tab.
  3. Start to transfer the values in the "Payout (ISK)" column to the fleet members, and mark them accordingly in the "Paid?" column.
  4. It is recommended to send out an EVE Mail to the fleet members as soon as you've done all the after work, including the payout.

Submit the spreadsheet

Before you submit the Buyback you'll need to fix the current market prices into the spreadsheet, so that they won't be updated anymore. This is done in the second step below:

  1. Change to the Inventory tab.
  2. Select "Finalize Buyback" in the Buyback Menu. (Because this step uses a script, Google docs security settings may ask you to authorize the script to run. Click the “Advanced” link on the pop up to enable the option to run the script, if this occurs).
    Finalize Buyback
  3. Ensure the Buyback script has finalized prices. On the Inventory tab, the cells in Column F will contain a formula “=Market!Fx” if the Finalize Buyback script has not successfully run (as seen in the formula bar at the top when selecting a cell in column F) - run the script again. If the script has successfully completed, the formula bar will show a numeric value rather than a formula.
    Ensure the Buyback script has finalized prices
  4. Share the spreadsheet (i.e. click the Share button in the upper right corner of the spreadsheet, then click "Change to anyone with the link", make sure the google doc isn't set to "restricted". Then click done).
  5. Create a contract to Ivy League Buyback with the applicable ore, ice and gas.
  6. There is no 6.
  7. Set the contract amount in the field "you will receive" to the amount shown in cell G1 of the Inventory sheet.
  8. Paste the spreadsheet key in the Description field of the contract:
    (The field located between ""/d/*****/edit#"". See the image below.)
    Finding the spreadsheet key
  9. Set the contract for 4 weeks expiration, then click finalize the contract.
  10. Wait to get paid.

Reasons for your contract to be declined

  • The prices were updated and no longer match between the contract and the spreadsheet.
  • The value and/or quantities do not match between the contract and the spreadsheet.
  • The contract was submitted in the AMC home system from a station or structure other than Averon - The Ore Question or Junsoraert - Happy Bottom Riding Club.
  • The contract was submitted outside of Averon or Stacmon/Slays without the approval of a Supply Officer.
  • The contract was not submitted from an NPC station or one of the Ivy League structures.
  • The submission did not come via a Google Docs spreadsheet.
  • The buyback contains minerals (Spreadsheet does not support minerals).
  • The buyback contains Triglavian Ore (Spreadsheet currently does not support triglavian ores).

AMC Buyback Best Practices

The following best practices keep the Buyback volunteers happy and keep your payback waiting time to a minimum:

  • The AMC Buyback has a recommended minimum of 25,000,000 ISK and a maximum of 5,000,000,000 ISK per personal Buyback contract.
  • When you submit your buyback contract, make sure that the key from your spreadsheet is included in the contract description.
  • Only one personal contract per person, per system, per day.
  • Do not create a contract for ore/ice/gas inside a container.
  • If possible, please compress the ore and ice in advance to make it easier for our hauling operations.
