Anyone can place a Buy Order with a range of 40 jumps.
Marketing IV allows you to place sell orders up to 40 jumps away.

It would be fantastic to be able to have Navbot ferret out items with large
gaps between the highest Buy Order amount and the Regional Average Sell
Order amount.

Example: Currently, I'm invested in buy orders for a named Tech I piece of
gear. The highest Buy Order prices average around 200k ISK. The Regional
Average Sell Order price for this item is 400k ISK.

I'm not interested in finding where they sell for 150k ISK, hauling them 8
jumps, then selling them for 200k ISK.
I'm interested in finding those items that are being bought for 150k ISK,
and selling for 450k ISK. Or being bought for 1.00m ISK, and being sold for
1.5m ISK, so I can place a Buy Order that's just a little higher than the
highest Buy Order, then turn around tomorrow, and place a Sell Order for
the Regional Average Price in all the systems where Mission Runners dumped
their loot overnight.

There seem to be plenty of 'no haulage' items on the market that can turn a
profit for no effort but ferreting them out by checking buy price, sell
price, and sales volume for each item is pretty labor intensive - and
Navbot is *already* collecting the Buy/Sell order data to construct routes. 

Making money while you sleep is a good thing, right?

This is an enhancement, not a defect.  Although, this is outside of the current 
scope of NavBot.  This will most likely NOT get added.
