I tell you what I'd shell out some serious inf for: Market reports.

Maybe for 10k inf per item on the market, you get a condensed yet complete report of one month's activity for that item, including average price, mean price, high/low (also for each day and/or time periods of the day), maybe a histograph, and a few statistical measures like standard deviation and volatility. I could come up with more ideas on what I'd like to see in a market report, but it's the concept I'm suggesting here to begin with. For 100k, you'd get all the reports for a class of items (e.g., defense set recipes, or common salvage, etc.). For 1m, you'd get yet a wider range of reports. For 10m per month, you'd get the full market report (visible only to you and non-reproducable), although for most folks that'd be overkill.

Although I'm active on the market with most of my characters, I have one character who I log into about once a week just to work the market rack. Over a few months, he has built up more than 1b inf on slow movers.

My suggestion is to look for something like valuable (in demand), but slow moving procs that are available across multiple levels, but move slowly, like 1 or 2 a week at each level. I won't give away the proc I'm working, but the bottom level one and the top level one move too quickly and the prices are higher. For the mid-range 'odd' levels, there are lot fewer bids simply because they don't move fast enough for most marketers. Put up spread bids across those intermediate levels, maybe 8-10 spread low bids of 3-5 quantity each. Pick up about 10 of each salvage you need and keep it on hand. Any other salvage, store in base or sell off.

Once a week, log in. You'll see maybe 10 or a dozen filled bids sporadically across the levels. First, top off those bids back up to 3-5 quantity as before. Craft the recipes you got and pick up another round of salvage before putting the crafted proc IO's on the market. Price the crafted items below what is going at the faster moving lowest-level and highest-level procs, where prices are typically higher because nao demand. Players who know that level doesnt make a difference in terms of performance (only when exemplaring) will search for these levels and buy them instead of the lowest/top ones if it's cheaper for them. Watch this closely for a few weeks and make sure your bid price and selling price balance where you get about as many recipes in as crafted items out. Then you're home free - once a week, 5-10 minutes and you're done.

If you're able to send him/her an e-mail, I'd try that first, basically asking him/her what you asked us here. If you get a welcome response, like go ahead and do what you think needs to be done, then fine. If you get no response or the response isn't very welcome, you might want to look at quitting and joining a new SG. I would be hesitant to put a lot of effort into something that someone might come back and claim and completely redo all over again.

In addition to the two mentioned above, there are Ghost Widow's Embrace Chance for Psionic Damage (20-50) and Neuronic Shutdown Chance for Psionic DoT (10-30). There's also (probably priced way outside your budget) the purple Unbreakable Constraint Chance for Smashing Damage.

I found I had the most trouble with endurance, as CC is a huge endurance hog, and I slotted to reduce it first before putting in any procs. The first three slots I used Lockdown Acc/End/Rech/Hold & End/Rech/Hold with Essence of Curare End/Hold frankenslotted. This really boosts the Hold duration and cuts the endurance down a lot, while giving a bit of recharge bonus in case you need to drop it for a while to recover endurance and bring it back up for the next fight. I'll might put the LD +2 mag hold followed by the BG -rech next.

(Edited to add: There is no accuracy component in CC, so you'll want to avoid/minimize any IO's with an accuracy component.)
