Archive:AMC Buyback Spreadsheet

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

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

Service Infomation

This service lets you sell your ore, gas, ice or minerals directly within the AMC Home System and some of the surrounding systems. This service offers you a higher pay out than a new player would get without significant skills and standings. As both get the higher value of mineral cost along with benefits of sell orders in Jita where we sell. Along with the saving of logistics of moving it.

The service fee for this service is 2.5% of refined value of ore,ice or gas submitted. Which is automatically put into sheet used 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.
