Ok so if I have a customer, and let's say I'm at 0 FP, I have to buy 500, turn around, /del it, rinse and repeat untill we've reached the agreement? I've never gotten into brokering but considering it...

You can't start at 0 FP, considering you have to keep 200 minimum.
So, if you start from exactly 200, it would break down like this.
200
Buy 125 (or if you're Rebel, 138)
325 (338)
Buy 125 (138)
450 (476)
Buy 125 (138)
575 (614)
/del 200 (250)
You have lost236 (295) (assuming you're a Colonel)
Start the process all over again with 339 (319).

the way to figure out how much a faction point costs (your cost) is:
(10000 [credits] / [number of faction points you get {125 or 138}]) X [your delegate ratio]
then you add in however many cr/pt you want as profit.
so for:
reb sergeant - 10000 / 138 = 72.463 X 2.86 = 207.244cr/pt
imp major - 10000 / 125 = 80 X 1.33 = 106.4cr/pt
so now you know the actual steps to calculate it, just use this formula instead:
rebels - 72.463768115942028985507246376812 X [delegate ratio]
imperials - 80 X [delegate ratio]
you dont really need that many decimal places but thats what windows calculator figures to, and the more places you have the more accurate your real cost. although when i figured the cost of 10000 points at both amounts, there was only a 23.xxxx credit difference.
or you can use the faction point calculator from the smuggler sticky. you need to have the .net framework installed for it to work though.
you probably wont find anyone to pay 207cr/pt but, hey, some people are desperate, if you are the only smuggler they can find they may pay whatever.

Was one of the first thing I read when I got my Master Smuggler box. Very well done, btw, in case I didn't say so before.
