I go the average between the lowest local sell and the highest local buy. local being within one or 2 jumps.
That how I do it as well.

Lowest Jita buy order, it represents an accurate "opportunity cost"
No it does not!!! If someone is 30 jumps from Jita and can sell their minerals at the lowest regional buy order that whould be the value.
Jita is NOT the standard that everyone else in the entire game has to go by. Especially when you can make a lot more profit the further away from Jita you get.

When I mine I do not pay anything for doing it.
I pay $15 a month to mine.

In Eve we just have to go to a belt and mine some rocks that give us free minerals. There is no cost in doing that. I pay my monthly fee in order to keep my characters training. Whether I sat in a station spinning my ship or sitting in a belt mining makes no difference. The cost for my subscription will still be the same.
So the TIME you spend at your computer mining is worthless? Even as you say you pay for skill traning, I can spend time doing real life stuff instead of mining and still not lose anything. However the time I spend in Eve is worth something even if I am just mining.
If you wish to continue to sell items for below mineral costs because "the minerals you mine are free" I will gladly buy everything you price like that, then reprocess it, sell the minerals, and be the one actually making ISK.
Example.
You spend an hour mining 10 million in minerals. You produce items with minerals and sell them "at the lowest sell order price" so you can move them which comes to 9 million. I buy them, reprocess, sell minerals and make 1 million profit.
You spent 1 hour doing that, I spent 10 seconds.
You made 9 mil/hr.
I make 360 mil/hr
Who is the person doing it wrong now??

It only has value if you have it on your books as such.
The math is simple. 0 x 500 = 0.
Please use mineral values, not your IQ which you have confirmed by your "Minerals I mine are free"

That's so wrong that it's not even funny. Why don't you call up Wal-Mart's home office and tell them how much money they are loosing every day. Tell them that they should move their items to the local mom and pop store because they could sell it for a lot more there.
It's called Economies of scale. Yet again you have proven yourself wrong.

Your link just proves my point. Thanks! 
I was being sarcastic in my response to him because he seems to not understand the concept. Maybe he can get something from that link.
I would recommend you take economics when you get to high school.

Question - As minerals have a price (fluctuating of course), has no one realised that buildable items have a current minimum price as well, based on the mineral input?
I noticed it and made quite a nice profit when Megacyte went from ~2100 to ~3300 a unit
