{{example|If you want to buy a Federation Navy 1MN Microwarpdrive module from the [http://www.ellatha.com/eve/LPIndex-101 Gallente Federal Defense Union LP store], you would have to pay 27,000 LP, 10.8 million ISK, a regular 1MN Microwarpdrive module, and several hundred Caldari Navy tags (looted from destroyed Caldari Navy NPC ships, such as the ones defending Caldari complexes). Or, if you want to buy a blueprint for a [[Vexor Navy Issue]], you would pay 45,000 LP and either 5 million ISK or a tag looted from certain [[Serpentis]] NPC pirate ships.}} | {{example|If you want to buy a Federation Navy 1MN Microwarpdrive module from the [http://www.ellatha.com/eve/LPIndex-101 Gallente Federal Defense Union LP store], you would have to pay 27,000 LP, 10.8 million ISK, a regular 1MN Microwarpdrive module, and several hundred Caldari Navy tags (looted from destroyed Caldari Navy NPC ships, such as the ones defending Caldari complexes).

If you want to buy something but don't have all the necessary items, you can of course [[trading|buy these from other players]] (through the regular Eve market). If you're purchasing items from the LP store to then sell them for ISK on the market, you would want to purchase items which sell for as much ISK as possible (relative to the amount of LP they cost), including the cost of any items you would need to buy them in the first place. The salient value is the amount of ISK you can expect to receive per LP spent; as a guide, you can expect to get around 1000 ISK per LP for most items. | If you want to buy something but don't have all the necessary items, you can of course [[trading|buy these from other players]] (through the regular Eve market).

A website like [https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/lpstore/ Fuzzworks] can help you choose which items to buy from the LP store to get good return on your LP; when starting out, it's recommended that you buy items which trade in high volumes and which require a minimum number of inputs (even though they may not make you the absolutely highest amount of money). Once you get the hang of it, you can diversify into more lucrative items which give you a higher ISK payout per LP, but which may also need more work. | A website like [https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/lpstore/ Fuzzworks] can help you choose which items to buy from the LP store to get good return on your LP; when starting out, it's recommended that you buy items which trade in high volumes and which require a minimum number of inputs (even though they may not make you the absolutely highest amount of money).
