[Free Tool] Iron Whales Appraiser — bulk pricing, ore reprocessing, abyssals, and live BPO/BPC contract pricing

Hey capsuleers,

I’ve been building and maintaining a free appraisal tool for my corp (Iron Whales) for a while now, and it’s grown into something I think is genuinely useful beyond just us — so figured I’d share it here.

What it does

  • Bulk appraisal — paste a cargo/hangar manifest, get an instant total. Supports Buy/Sell/Split pricing across Jita, Amarr, Hek, Dodixie, Rens, plus nullsec staging markets like C-J6MT and UALX-3 — most tools only cover the trade hubs, this one doesn’t stop there.
  • Ore & ice reprocessing calculator — compares raw ore value vs. reprocessed mineral value side by side, with a proper yield calculator (skills, structure, rig, security modifier, implant) instead of making you guess your %.
  • Abyssal module pricing — mutated module values pulled via MutaMarket.
  • Screenshot appraisal — upload (or just Ctrl+V paste) a screenshot of your cargo hold or a contract, and it reads the items straight off the image. No more manually retyping a 40-line manifest.
  • Price alerts + undercut watcher — get notified when an item crosses a price threshold, or when someone undercuts your sell orders.
  • Portfolios — save appraisals, track their value over time, compare multiple portfolios on one chart.

The part I’m actually proud of: live BPO/BPC pricing

This one I haven’t seen anywhere else. Blueprints don’t trade on the market — they only move through contracts — so every appraisal tool either ignores them or just guesses off production cost. Instead, this crawls Jita’s public item-exchange contracts every hour and builds a searchable index: paste a blueprint name (or a whole list, works with a direct paste from your inventory window, columns and all) and see every current contract selling it, with ME/TE, runs, and asking price, sorted cheapest first.

Pricing accuracy

Prices are pulled from Fuzzwork/ESI

It’s free, no account needed for the basics

EVE SSO login is optional — it unlocks portfolios, alerts, and the undercut watcher, but bulk appraisal, reprocessing, and BPO search all work without logging in.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback, bug reports, or feature requests — I’m actively maintaining this, not a drop-and-forget project. Fly safe o7

:wrench: Update: Reprocessed values in Bulk Appraisal + a leaderboard fix

A couple of things went in based on feedback in this thread:

:alembic: Bulk Appraisal now handles ore reprocessing directly
There’s a new “Reprocess ore lines into minerals” option under Advanced Options. Paste a mixed manifest — ore alongside modules, ships, whatever — and any recognized ore gets converted to its mineral value at your chosen yield %, right in the same results table (tagged “reprocessed”). Everything else in the manifest is still priced normally, no need to separate it out first.

If you’d rather use the full Ore Processing tool instead (yield calculated from your actual skills/rig/facility rather than a flat %), there’s now a “Send to Ore Processing” button right under the manifest box that sends your pasted list straight over and switches tabs for you — no more manually copy/pasting between the two, which wasn’t working reliably for everyone.

:trophy: Fixed: Top Appraisers total not updating on delete
Deleting a saved appraisal from your portfolio wasn’t removing its value from that month’s Top Appraisers total — your leaderboard number would stay inflated even after the appraisal itself was gone. That’s fixed now: deleting an appraisal correctly subtracts it from the right month’s total.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: As always: https://appraiser.ironwhales.com/

Thanks for flagging both of these — keep it coming! :whale:

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Update: Bulk Appraisal now reprocesses ships & modules too, automatically

https://appraiser.ironwhales.com/

Small but useful update to the Bulk Appraisal tool — reprocessing isn’t just for ore anymore! :rock::right_arrow::gear:

Previously, “Reprocess ore lines into minerals” only recognized asteroid ore. Now it also picks up ships, modules, structures and drones — anything with SDE reprocessing data. So if you paste a mixed manifest (say, a killmail with a wreck’s hull, a few modules, and some leftover ore :skull:), the whole thing gets converted, not just the rocks.

The bigger change though: you don’t need to opt in anymore. :sparkles: Every Bulk Appraisal now quietly checks in the background for anything reprocessable, and if it finds something, a little comparison card pops up right above your results:

:money_bag: Sold Raw: 12,900,000 ISK
:recycling_symbol: Reprocessed @ 90% yield: 7,780,401 ISK

…and the results table switches over to the reprocessed values automatically. No checkbox, no extra click, no detour to the Ore Processing tab just to see if it’s worth it. :raising_hands:

One nice little bonus: if your manifest yields the same mineral from two different sources (ore + a scrapped frigate both giving Tritanium, for example), it’s combined into one clean row instead of showing it twice. :abacus:

As always — 100% free, no login needed. Bug reports and feedback always welcome here or on the Ko-fi page :hot_beverage:

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Update: Reprocessing now covers almost everything, and always applies

Follow-up to the reprocessing update from a few days ago — a couple of important changes based on feedback. :folded_hands:

Way more items now recognized. The reprocessing table used to only cover ships, modules, structures and drones. It’s now pulled straight from CCP’s full reprocessing data, so it also covers ammo/charges, implants, and more — basically anything the game itself says reprocesses. :package::right_arrow::gear:

Reprocessing now always applies — no more “smart” picking. Last update tried to be clever and only convert a line if reprocessing was worth more than selling it raw. Turns out that’s not what everyone wants — if you run a reprocess/buyback operation, you want the mineral value every time, regardless of whether raw would technically fetch more. So now: every recognized line gets reprocessed, full stop. Simple and predictable. :white_check_mark:

Two share-link bugs fixed too:

  • :link: Sharing a reprocessed Bulk Appraisal used to show the resulting minerals in the Discord/link preview (e.g. “Tritanium - 360,000”) instead of what you actually pasted. It now correctly shows your real input (“Veldspar - 100,000”), with a note that it was reprocessed.
  • :link: Sharing an Abyssal Module appraisal showed a generic “Iron Whales Appraiser” preview instead of the actual priced modules — now shows each module and its value.

As always — free, no login needed. Keep the feedback coming, it genuinely shapes what gets built next. :raising_hands:

:wrench: Update: Reprocessing tool, better sharing, EVE Time clock, and a Markee Dragon partnership

A bigger batch of changes this time around:

:recycling_symbol: New dedicated Reprocessing tool
Bulk Appraisal is back to being a plain appraiser — paste, get a price, done. All the raw-vs-reprocessed comparison work has moved into its own tool, sitting right under PI Planner in the sidebar. Paste ore, ships, modules, or drones and see both values side by side, with a badge on whichever’s worth more. It now covers pretty much anything reprocessable in the game (not just ore) — pulled straight from CCP’s own data, so ammo, implants, and more are recognized too.

:link: Fit Appraisal and BPO Pricing can be shared now
Both got the same “Save & Share” / “Copy” buttons the other tools have, with proper Discord/link previews — Fit shows the ship, fit name, and every module; BPO shows each blueprint with its cheapest live Jita listing.

:one_o_clock: EVE Time clock
Added a live clock in the top bar (next to the appraisal counter) showing EVE Time — since EVE runs entirely on UTC, it’s exactly the time your character sees in-game.

:bug: A few bugs squashed
Saved appraisal links now show the timestamp with your own detected timezone spelled out. Also fixed a couple of share-link bugs where Fit/BPO links and Reprocessing links weren’t reopening correctly in the app.

:handshake: Also: we’re now affiliated with Markee Dragon!
If you’re grabbing PLEX, Omega, or skill points, using code APR or APPRAISER at checkout saves you a bit and helps keep this tool free. No pressure either way, just figured I’d mention it since a few people asked how to support the project.

:bug: Bugs squashed:

  • Share links now keep their real /p/<id> URL instead of jumping to a #p= hash when clicked
  • Saved appraisal timestamps show your own detected timezone
  • Fit/BPO/Reprocessing share links now actually reopen correctly (previously showed a blank screen or the wrong tool)
  • Uploading a new screenshot after already running an appraisal used to append to the old manifest instead of starting fresh — now it clears automatically when you’re clearly starting a new one

:handshake: Markee Dragon codes updated
New codes: APR or APPRAISER (not case sensitive) for 3% off PLEX/Omega/skill points.

:wrench: Update: Sortable results tables, and a couple of quality-of-life fixes

:bar_chart: Click to sort any results table
Bulk Appraisal, Ore Processing, Reprocessing, Fit Appraisal, and Abyssal Modules now have sortable columns — click “Unit Price” or “Total Value” (Roll Quality/Value on Abyssal) to sort low-to-high, click again for high-to-low. Handy for spotting your priciest items in a long manifest without scrolling through the whole thing. Anything that couldn’t be priced always stays at the bottom instead of getting mixed in.

:broom: Bulk Appraisal clears itself after running
Running an appraisal (typed, pasted, or via screenshot) now empties the Cargo Manifest box automatically once it’s priced. Results still show exactly what was appraised — nothing’s lost — but the box is immediately ready for the next paste instead of needing a manual Clear first.

:wrench: Update: Cargo volume (m³), moon ore reprocessing fixed, and a layout fix

:package: Total cargo volume alongside every Grand Total
Bulk Appraisal, Ore Processing, Reprocessing, and Fit Appraisal now show total m³ right under the ISK value — useful for checking if a manifest actually fits in your hauler before you undock. Uses each item’s real packaged volume, not the assembled/fitted one (a ship shows what it takes up as cargo, not what it takes up flying around — those two numbers can differ by 10x). Ore Processing and Reprocessing show volume for both sides of the raw-vs-processed comparison separately, since reprocessing usually shrinks the volume a lot regardless of what it does to the ISK value.

:pick: Moon ore reprocessing was fixed
Moon ore (Coesite, Bitumens, Zeolites, and every other Ubiquitous/Common/Uncommon/Rare/Exceptional Moon Asteroid type, compressed variants included) was silently falling through as unrecognized before — priced as a plain item with zero reprocessed value shown. Now recognized correctly. Ice got fixed as a side effect of the same change too.

:bug: Fixed: Yield Calculator layout
The “Security (rig bonus)” dropdown in Ore Processing’s Yield Calculator could spill outside the panel when a longer option was selected. Fixed.
