I am thinking of spending US$10 on ISK, to subsidize the purchase of 2 skill injectors. I have been Googled and calculating, and I think this is the most value for money...
1) Spend US$10 on 2000 Aurums: https://secure.eveonline.com/AurStore/
2) Sell Aurums in the in-game market, to buy orders. E.g. https://eve-central.com/home/quicklook.html?typeid=2833#buys
So, US$10 -> 2000 Aurums -> ~800 mil ISK, is the most amount of ISK I can get for US$10?

1 PLEX is US$19.95: https://secure.eveonline.com/PLEX/
1 PLEX goes for around 1000 mil ISK: https://eve-central.com/home/quicklook.html?typeid=29668#buys
I think it's more worth it to spend US$10 for ~800 mil ISK. Also, I just wanna spend US$10. |

Something sounds off to me. I don't have personal experience in this specific instance, but basic economics should be pushing for only a single $ -> isk conversion rate, especially when there aren't many avenues for inefficiencies to develop. Even if that aur is on sale, it still feels off. Check in game, not 3rd party, double check prices, double check all your math. I suppose it wouldn't be surprising if CCP built in a loss in $ > plex > aur (assuming that conversion is even still available) over $ > aur, but that still sounds like a huge discrepancy.
Yup it sounds off to me too. But CCP's website and EVE Central says otherwise.
In any case, I am going to fly to Jita and verify those Aurum buy orders before making a move. |

I don't know the way to get the most isk for your dollar, but you would be better off creating a sell order rather than selling direct to a buy order.
I am selling Aurum to a buy order because I checked the volume and it is extremely low. Might take a week to sell those Aurum and face competition from other sellers playing the 0.01 ISK game.

Also don't move those aurum around. Dock in the station you wish to sell at and then redeem the items into the game.
GREAT advice. Thanks! |

That is a nice alternative idea. Subscribe an alt to use as a skill farm. Nice. Probably the cheapest way to get skill injectors. I'll keep that in mind.
I'm going for the 2x injectors right away though. Don't have an alt with > 5mil SP so it'll be too long a way. :p |

The aurum that you can see buy orders for are Aurum tokens. Which you can't get from the Aurum store.
So you can't buy aurum then sell it directly.
This was such an IMPORTANT piece of information!
I almost got stuck with 2000 Aurums!!!!
Thank you so much!! |

Now that I know Aurums bought directly from CCP cannot be traded on the market, I guess the max I can get for US$10 is around...
1) Buy 2000 Aurum -> use Aurum to buy 2 skill extractors
2) Sell 2 skill extractors for around 240 mil ISK each
= US$10 for $480 mil ISK.
This means that buying a PLEX for US$20 and selling it for 1.1 BIL ISK gives on average more ISK for US$10. |
