at buying

Hello!

Can you please see if the preposition at is OK here of if I should change the phrase at buying in the context:

Achieving the lowest price at buying, at the expense of other important business criteria will certainly not contribute to entire business/commercial success or to strengthening relationships with business partners.

Thank you in advance

Hi Antonia, I'd say 'in buying'. I'd also either remove the comma after 'buying' or add another comma after 'criteria'. And perhaps say 'complete' instead of 'entire'?
