Christmas tidy up

Over the year i make some mistakes on couriering items and find myself with a blueprint or two and a ship equipment item or two in my trade locations sitting in inventory that wont be put up for sale any time soon.

And then there are a truck load of items redeemed from daily rewards.

All making the place look a bit untidy.  Even when i tuck them away in containers.

And then this all adds up as inventory that is locking up isk and therefore making my business inefficient and increasingly so.

This is an important point - items in inventory was once isk.  The longer the item sits in inventory it deprives me of using the isk it could become to invest in the market to make more isk.  This is call "opportunity cost" or think of it as an interest cost or cost of storage.

Jita is my central warehouse

More on this in a coming post but . . .  . .

. . . . my main chance of moving this inventory on and converting it into isk is to courier it back to Jita to use as my central warehouse to be distributed elsewhere as required.

Therefore, i am just in the process of having all this couriered back to Jita to be thrown in more containers for their fate to be decided.

But one thing is for sure, storing everything in Jita will mean i can convert it into isk very quickly (price may not be great) or more easily have it there to courier to another trade location to sell.

Ships cluttering up the place

Not sure what i will do with all the spare ships in hangers - and i bet i find the odd Thunderchild to sell (when ships are delivered by courier they go into the Corporate Delivery Hanger but when moved to Inventory they quietly get put in the Ship Hanger, so easy to forget about).

Cost of this tidy up

I suspect i will spend about 1bn in courier fees on all this once it is done.  So, yes. about 50bn of items are lying around my hangers in my Trade Locations and need to be dealt with.
