Options whose prices are more than 6 hours old are left out. Cost per action is the inputs at instant-buy plus any NPC fee. Kept per action is the outputs at instant-sell minus the 2% GE tax. The 4h column is how many actions the tightest input buy limit allows every 4 hours, and what that many earn.
Assumptions
No hourly rate: Bob repairs instantly, so the buy limit of 15 broken pieces per item every 4 hours is the only limit. Repair cost is Bob's price for a fully broken piece (helm 60k, body 90k, legs 80k, weapon 100k).

Requirements: None to pay Bob in Lumbridge. A POH armour stand costs less: the NPC price times (1 minus Smithing level / 200), about half at 99.
