Using markets or clone bays at a [[Upwell_structures|player-owned structure]] (POS, as opposed to an [[NPC_corporations|NPC]] station) is one of those risk-versus-reward things that only you can decide. POS markets generally have lower sales volumes than NPC markets, so extractors might not be immediately available. You may have to discount your injectors to move them. How long can you afford to let 4,665.5M ISK worth of injectors gather dust? If you choose a POS that’s well-located, you might sell your injectors at a nearby trade hub instead, but that defeats the purpose of using a POS in the first place.

The benefits of the Broker Relations skill don’t apply at a POS, as detailed [https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/203218962-Broker-Fee-and-Sales-Tax here]. Jump clones might be considerably cheaper at a POS. Sometimes they’re even complimentary if you have good [[~~Standings_101~~|standing]], but they’re a relatively small expense.

Consider that POSs are run by other players. ''Everything'' depends on your standing with them.

The POS might be attacked, which has a chilling effect on its market. It might be destroyed in that attack, which means you lose your clone and everything else you had there.
