The background to this series: i aiming to use Regional Trading between Jita and Dodixie to take an alpha account to Omega status.
My wealth is 2.9 billion, but more importantly i now own 250 plex.
This is day 48 of this project.
I am now on Phase 2 - maintaining my wealth on the market whilst buying Plex with the aim of buying one month of Omega.
I need to get to 500 Plex to buy one month of Omega. I am buying 50 to 100 per day as my sales come through. I reinvest half the proceeds back into my business and half into Plex.
Range of Items sold
No real change.
I am now happy to go to a maximum of 300 million purchase price in Jita. But also happy to be as low as 100k.
Right now, the most valuable item i have for sale is a Torrent for 342 million and the lowest is a missile blueprint for 2.98 million.
The Ships are doing well. But so are the 3 million missile Blueprints.
Sell Orders now in Dodixie
Each character has a maximum of 17 order slots = 17 x 5 = 85 slots in total.
I am now using all 5 Trading Characters in Dodixie.
Right now i am using 63 slots, so 22 spare slots.
Comes to a total of 1.8 billion isk as Sell Orders. I think this is a good level to hold it at and so the daily sales generate enough cash to buy 50 Plex (=250 million isk) and then reinvest the rest back into the market.
Current Wealth.
If i only look at ISK + Market Orders + Items in Inventory that are to be sold (so ignore my catalyst, ammo etc), then my worth is 2.9 billion which is made up from
ISK 260m
Plex 1146m (=250 Plex)
Inventory 0m
Sell Orders 1847m
Provision 369m
I have always taken a 20% provision against my Sell Orders which reflects the Transaction Tax that will be paid when the items sell + the cost of reducing the price to keep it competitive if required + the eventual reduced price when sold. In reality, i rarely end up needing this provision. But lets keep things conservative and understand that the only ISK is ISK. Everything else is an approximation until sold.
How much time a day do you spend on regional trading? All at one time or spread through the day?
ReplyDeletetypically, 5 minutes or so running the spreadsheets to work out what sell orders to update to stay competitive and what new items to buy to replace items sold and then setting up the items to be couriered. And then takes about 5-10 minutes to update the sell orders. and then later on 5 minutes to place the sell orders that have been couriered in. Probably adds up to 30 minutes in the evening.
