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|standing]], but they’re a relatively small expense.

Consider that POSs are run by other players. ''Everything'' depends on your standing with them. That favorable tax rate, the free clone, even your [[Jump clones#Losing jump clones|docking privileges]], can vanish overnight. 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. ([[Asset ~~Safety~~]] may preserve most of your stuff, but recovering it without a clone nearby is a whole ’nother hassle!). Maybe the owner decides to [https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/208289365-Asset-Safety decommission] their POS, or quit the game entirely. Where does that leave you?

Investigating markets at POSs is a bit more difficult. You must travel to their system to determine what sales tax they charge. If you decide to go that route, try starting with the [[trade hub]] systems and their neighbors. Or work from another angle and use your market tool to see where injectors are selling well, then investigate those markets.
