I'm buying four Battlecruisers.
I was wondering, when I place a buy order of 4, range: 20 jumps. Does that mean someone in a freighter for example, can sell me all four ships within 20 jumps of the buy order? If so, that would surely increase my chances of getting the sale as the frieghter doesn't have to come to the exact location of where I entered by buy ordered. (Assuming I said range: station).
Have I got this right?

Yes, they can deliver the items anywhere within 20 jumps.
However, you will need to go there to pick up the ships. So unless you want to pick up 4 ships in 4 different stations, you might want to set the minimum quantity. |

Yes, you are correct. However it also means that if 4 people each sell you 1 of the items you put the order for, they can all do so in separate stations. I think the min volume amount is the minimum number of items they need to trade in a transaction.
And the station where they sell you the item is where you have to go to pick it up. |

Right so just to clarify:
Person A: Wants 4 Drakes at 30M, Range: Station
Person B: Wants 4 Drakes at 30M, Range: 20 Jumps.
Assuming these are coming by someones freighter, person B would be more attractive to the freighter right? As he/she doesn't have to warp further in a slow ship?
Lol, sorry if this sounds stupid I just want to make sure.
Yeah, I usually just shuttle to the location and find the best region to sell it in.

You basically got it down. Keep in mind however that regardless of the range you set, you are always confined to the region your buy order is running in. No buy order can ever be exposed outside it's own region. So if you want to set maximum range, just pick Region instead of 20 stations.

my corp even has layers who report in on good buy orders in different regions, lets put it this way...
buy order at 20 million and range station
buy order at 19 million and range region.
we'll buy the region buy order because moving 4 BC's would be a pain. and not writh the extra 4 mil.
Also how close you are to 0.0 space can affect prices.

Remember that entire region includes all low-sec in that region. Picking up stuff in low-sec can be a real adventure, I've painfully found out.
