Are items the same price in different hicsec NPC missioning LP Stores (i.e. ignoring incursions, FW, epic arcs, pirates)? I..e. if implantABC is available for 2500LP and 2.5mm Isk from corp1, then it is either unavailable from corp2 or it costs the same? Or could some corp be selling it for 2000LP?
I am starting my "which LP store to hi-sec mission for" journey.
Nobody is going to tell me their secret item, but I could use some information.
It is simple - but not easy - to compute: just create a several thousand line spreadsheet for a few dozen corps, edit the prices, and sort. So I am looking for some optimizations.
My plan is to start with a few high volume items (ammo) to get a floor and then keep examining until I get something "good enough" and then stop; there is a limit to how much accounting I want to spend $15/month on and call it entertainment. So if I look at items that sell in Jita within a couple of weeks and use Jita tag prices (I am one of those who considers your region wide tag orders in your special place or selling your item in that special station to be trading profits not LP profits) then where do you see the thresholds these days? For example, under 1000/LP I definitely should keep looking and if I find a 2000/LP that is close enough that it would be more profitable or at least enjoyable to quit crunching numbers and just undock? 750/1500? 2000/3000?
TIA for any advice on techniques.

Hi
as far as I am aware the offers are the same (excluding your special considerations already noted) across all the LP stores.
Something to take into account though is that all tag prices are not equal, off the top of my head I think Minnie tags are in shorter supply than say Fed Navy. You have the right idea of looking at Jita price when calculating potential isk/LP conversion.
For most purposes the LP stores fall into two categories, navy and industry so you only find certain hardwirings (for example) in the industry type LP stores, e.g. exploration hardwirings.
You can save yourself a lot of work by doing a single calculation for the different learning implants, +3, +4, +5 as they are the same cost in all LP stores and it's mostly per/will that have volume - they mostly give sub 1000 isk/LP. The same goes for most of the hardwirings as they are the same cost across all LP stores cost wise.
Remember that most people run for navy agents.
Anything under 2000 isk/LP you might want to avoid and look for better items.
If you are going to sell faction ammo think about what is used in pvp and mission running. There are some oddities as well e.g. Fed Navy anti has the same stats as CN anti but most ppl seem to be unaware of this and pay more for CN - try not to make too many assumptions and do your research - looks like you already have a good grip on this.
Other oddities are e.g. Khanid Navy do ballistic controls but I would guess without looking at the market that they are rarely sold and everyone buying is looking for CN BCS.
When looking at what corps to work for you could as a sought of thought exercise (hint), exclude all the navy stores and look at what is left and then see what sets them apart - you are probably aware of Sisters of EVE but there are some other lesser known corps as well, I won't say more as it might put noses out of joint :)

I have an item from a high-sec LP store that gets 2.7k+/lp depending on the current market prices for it. I moved to a new region in empire so I use it anymore. So aim for around 2.5-3k/lp, not all stores will have a item worth that so just keep looking till you find the one that does

The REAL money in implants is in 6% implants. You can ONLY get them from CONCORD LP store They often sell in jita for a few billion or more. "Sweet Jesus, It's an Anti-AT field!"

I did pretty much the same as what you're talking about, only for a few corps though. Even still, it's a heck of a lot of typing for all corps. I did find a site that already had the LP stores items and pricing info, and it seems to be accurate.

There might be sites out there that are better for copy/pasting, but at least you won't have to do a mission for each corp in EVE to see the LP stores.

A brief sample, I clicked on a few stores and saw 328 or 329 entries for the Navies and 150-158 for non-Navy; it definitely was bimodal.
Thanks again for the education! 500 entries is a lot but close to the doable range even for me.

Not sure why I'm falling for this but...
Try 700m tops for a +6%
