October Update

 Quite an odd month this one. I've once again played very little, though I did manage to set up a proper set of sale in Tash-Murkon. The results this month are impressive though:



I currently have 752.3Bn ISK. That's a monthly (ish) increase of 43.5Bn ISK!!!

That's a massive increase. A part of this was setting up a bunch of sales in Tash-Murkon - I take 20% provision against having to relist, and the sell margin was above 20% on average there. Another aspect I suspect is that during the last month CCP announce resource scarcity, which majorly shook up the market - more on that in another post. There's also a big war going on in null sec, which usually drives up demand for pretty much everything and means that I've made a good quantity of sales this month, despite not updating very much. The rise in activity has also contributed to the PLEX price, driving it up by 200k this month which is a 2Bn increase in my net worth. The overall uptick in prices has allowed me to sell a bunch of investments at a profit as well.

I managed to put up over 130Bn in sell orders in Tash-Murkon, and yet I have about the same amount of ISK lying around as I did last month - 213Bn ISK at the moment. That's a lot knocking around! Time to set up a proper sell list in Sobaseki I think!


I have 4 accounts, with 11 characters dedicated to trading:

Sobaseki Seller

Not much to report here, has continued training trade skills, but I haven't expanded the items sold. Currently has 2Bn in sell orders.

Jita Buyer

This is a character that sits in Jita and contracts items to my other characters. This character has little training, and mostly buys from sell orders and contracts the items to my other characters. I tend to have this character logged in to act as a real time price comparison whilst checking my other characters orders. This character also manages my long term investments, though that doesn't take much work. I am putting excess ISK into this venture, and watch delonewolf's EVE Talk to get ideas for things to invest in. Currently holding about 187Bn in orders and investments. A lot of this money will go to Sobaseki and Tash-Murkon.

Amarr Seller

My main money maker, with ~123 Billion in active sell orders at the time of writing. Takes implants and faction/deadspace modules delivered by my Rens character and sells them in Amarr.

Dodixie Seller

Very similar to the Amarr seller, he sits in Dodixie, takes receipt of items, then set up sell orders. Currently has 93 Billion in sell orders. No news with this character.

Rens seller/Hauler

Like the other characters, this character takes items bought in Jita and sells them in Rens. Currently has 128 Billion ISK in active sells. He also hauls my goods from Jita to the other trade hubs in a Crane.

Hek Seller

Like the other high sec seller characters, he sits in a trade hub in Hek and sells items brought to him by the Rens seller. Currently on 55Bn in sell orders. Needs to pay for his own PLEX every month, which isn't too difficult.

Amarr station trader

Sits in a player owned Fortizar in Ashab, buys from buy orders and sells through sell orders with a range of 1 Jump to cover Amarr. This character trades completely different items to the rest of my characters. I gave this character 1 Billion to start with, and he's currently on 19.7 Billion.

Jita station trader

My more serious station trader. I have a character in Perimeter in a player owned Keepstar, with 0.5% broker fee that sits in one station, buys from buy orders and sells through sell orders with a reach of 1 jump.

Most of my items are bought and sold in the Jita 4-4 station. This character trades completely different items to the rest of my characters. I gave this character 10 Billion to start with, and he's currently on 66.5 Billion. I spent the time to get faction and corp standing up with this character, and this is my attempt to take station trading seriously. He also farms SP and sells injectors on the market.

Horde Station Trader

Station trading in the Horde Keepstar in R10-GN. I set him up with 1Bn and he's currently at 12.6Bn.

Tash-Murkon Region trader

As stated, I've moved this character to just being a seller. Currently 125.8Bn in sell orders.

Manufacturing Character

Nothing has happened on this character recently.
