Using your logic then all buy orders should be higher because no one will fulfill them anyway at a loss. If you are using Jita prices to decide what it cost to build you should GTFOOJ. there are 62 other regions and half of em sell items much much lower than that laghole. You want to stop the prices then buy the cheap ship look who sold it and stalk them. Whining on a thread doesn't teach anyone.

While prices do vary (both up and down) in the other regions, if your goal is high volume turnover, Jita is the only real place to do it. The other smaller hubs, while still having relatively decent movement of goods, pale in comparison to Jita's volumes.
So basically, while you can generally do things more profitably outside of Jita, it's always at a smaller scale. Once you try and scale up, you need higher supply/demand to meet that scale, and Jita meets that.
I respectfully disagree. In Jita more items may sell but you have more opponents undercutting you every 10 seconds by .01 isk. If 100 items are sold per day, that doesn't mean they are YOUR items. You would be lucky to get 10% of the sales for the items that day. In another region 10-20 may sell per day but you are the lowest price more often so your 100 items are sold within a week at your asking price rather than 2 weeks of continuously lowering your price.

Not so much. Nobody is forcing you to play .01 isk games. If your profit margin and volume are large enough to play in Jita then undercut like you mean business -- by 5% or so. Resellers will pick up your goods and everyone's happy. You've traded a bit of profit for their time.
If your profit margin is so thin that you can't do that -- well, enjoy your slow sales and .01 isk fun.
My point is not the undercutting my point is not having to every second. So your slow sales are in Jita not any other market because you are undercut when you just go to the bathroom and 6 more items sell in that period of time that could have been yours. So in reality you are "stuck" with 6 more items you didn't have to have that would have sold in the same amount of time somewhere else with your computer off. In addition they are now lower than what you wanted since you are undercut by 3-4 others.
I ALWAYS undercut that last guy by 2-5%. I can always make a profit by just selling to the buy orders let alone leaving them up for sale. Making a profit isn't the issue. It is how long it takes for the amount of isk/hour. And my point is you make more isk/hour in other regions where you don't have to babysit and get undercut by 20 others so you can focus on looking for more items to buy/sell in what region or actually play the game instead of making it a pretty chatroom.
Yes Jita has very high volume.. But again using same example. 100 items get sold that day they are all not yours and at varying prices where the same item sells 20 a day in a different region and they are all yours at the original price.
