Recycling

Well, if you buy something that melts down to worth more than the cost, it's profitable to recycle! So, I thought about a spreadsheet to do this, but

has it for us! You can even change the mineral prices to what they are locally!

Thank Mr. Hulky, he pointed me the right way!

Can one of you lovely mod type people (or one of our lot if they ain't available) shove that one on the useful links page as it is exactally that

any idea which items are worth less than their component parts for shameless profiteering

Well, it takes time, but I started some trading work the other night to test the markets and just get a feel for what is worth producing and what is not. So I went line by line through the in station sell/buy orders to see if there was anything I could buy local to move somewhere within a few hops for a profit. I found 5 Iteron V's selling for 900k, and quickly thought that they should be bought, since the median price in the area was 1.9 million. So I did, I bought all 5, assembled one, and started doing more trading with it. In an hour I more than made up my investment in the ships just by selling commodities within 5 jumps. But whether it was worth melting down the other 4 Iterons still had me wondering. So I tossed them into the recycler to get a quote on minerals, and if I had perfect refine skills it worked out to my advantage, but just barely. So if I had sold the mins, tax on them would have put me at a loss. This all took some time though, since I had to find prices on mins, multiply it all out by hand, look up what it would refine down to, so I thought "There should be a tool or spreadsheet to do this!" So I asked Hulky, he pointed me to Eve-info, and now we have it to use.

Soon I plan to head to Jita, where there is such competition that I'm hoping for alot of stuff that's cheaper than it's minerals. I suspect that common looted stuff is sold at 'below cost' just because it's so plentiful. Thinking about tossing up buy orders for it at below cost so I can profit from them. I need the uber refine skills though to make the most of it, so it will take a bit.

If you go to Jita, watch the buy prices of minerals as well as sell as the closer they are together, the nearer the price is to crapping out and buying prices dropping (but selling prices should go back up too

Get it to a caldari navy or core complexions refinery and silver can do 100% with no loss. Next up minmatar security horses

I'm picky, I've only been buying what I can sell for at least a 20% markup, and that right away. I figure that covers taxes right there. Also, I need ALOT of profits to make my target of >100mil isk a week.

That, and it lets me look at the market alot to see what I should be producing when I get bpo's. I'm also collecting all my loot all over the galaxy to melt to start off my production.
