After a bit of googling I couldn't seem to find a straight answer SO In the LP store some items say they require insignia as well to obtain the item. So let's say that an item requires 10 general insignia and 5 colonel, does that mean for each item I have to give them that many insignia, or do I just have to have them in my possession as a sort of pass? I'm curious because if you have to hand them in and they aren't reusable how do people make all this isk blitzing missions?? One of the items that was supposed to be a good converseion of LP to isk ended up costing more for the base isk and tags then it did on the market! Am I missing something or is everyone selling at a loss? |

You need the insignias to buy a single item from the LP store, so you use your example, if you need 10 of X insignia to buy one item you would need 100 insignia to buy 10 items.
They handed over for the LP purchase / transaction, so no they are not a "sort of pass" they are a cost.
Converting LP profitably is a sort of mini-game, as is blitzing missions, they aren't the same thing.
As to profitability, are you using Jita prices? Have you had a look at the fuzzworks LP calculator?
However, it's true some items would make a loss of you were to buy them from the LP store, with or without insignias.
So you should look at the Fuzzworks LP Calculator, or one of the others, or maybe just take stuff that doesn't require tags/insignias, it's your decision. Also, bear in mind that not all LP store items need tags/insignias. E.g. one of the better stores, The SoE store has items that are in high demand and don't require tags, Sisters launchers, probes and Virtues. |

yep for each item you gotta hand out that many. Nope you re not missing anything. Some ppl thinks if they loot tags and buy items in store and sell items, tags are free, they are not. Same as minerals are not free! Olso some LP stores have different req for one particular item, for example FW stores and Empires stores, SOE stores in null and in Empire... Most profit is in bpc bought from LP stores, and you can buy tags vie buy orders in some remote area of EVE... There are lot of things to consider... |

There's actually a lot of opportunity in the system. Back when I was running missions to support my account, which thank god is in my past now, I would track tag prices both for the LP items I was cashing out and for other commonly used tags. It turns out they were quite cyclical and the price varied quite a bit just a few jumps out.
So yeah. Market opportunity. I ended up making a good third of my income almost passively trading tags. Well worth the effort if you're wiling to take a look at how the market works. |
