Appraisal

EVE Online Item Appraisal Guide

Field Summary

An appraisal is an estimate that needs context. Good review keeps item names exact, checks quantity parsing, separates buy/sell/midpoint basis, and marks lines that need a human reviewer.

Checklist

  • Paste one item per line with quantity where possible.
  • Choose a price basis that matches the decision: buy, sell, or midpoint.
  • Flag unknown lines, low-volume items, and unusual names for review.
  • Keep final contracts and payouts human-approved inside EVE.

Warning Signals

  • Unknown item names or lines without clear quantities.
  • High-value items mixed into routine loot without a separate review.
  • A payout estimate based on stale or thin market data.
  • Requests that try to bypass the agreed location or contract character.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating an estimate as a guaranteed payout.
  • Using sell basis for a fast buyback without policy approval.
  • Ignoring location, volume, taxes, or hauling constraints.
  • Accepting a contract before checking the pasted list against the actual contract.

Next Actions

  • Build a quote in Buyback Calculator.
  • Submit a buyback request for manual review when the policy allows it.
  • Use Mining Ledger for ore or moon-goo split tracking.
