If you get it right then this account should be able to finance itself. And that will leave you a spare character slot as well.<br /><br />Once that is done then i would look into buying Plex.<br />Crodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620994327943613623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-62129429848984515602014-05-24T23:05:25.240+01:002014-05-24T23:05:25.240+01:00In a case like that, I still lower the price daily...In a case like that, I still lower the price daily until I sell. Rarely do I lose more than a few million isk per item and I can reinvest the freed money at once.

I've never had stock take more than a week to sell, so I leave it there, ties go to the quicker order, plus, it resets once you change the price, so unless you are going a week without changing orders or selling out, no point setting higher.<br /><br />Also, that was pretty amateur on his part, everyone should know, you change 6,8,9, never 3,4,5... the fonts are so bad, you need to take advantage of the similar looks of the rounder numbers, makes it easier to confuse people.. also, cents always make it harder than just .00<br /><br />Just my .02Kate 'Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993019414595472147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-69897059143883121682014-05-20T17:50:41.580+01:002014-05-20T17:50:41.580+01:00For you guys who have been so successful with this...For you guys who have been so successful with this region trading scheme, what do you do with orders that go bad? That is, on a given item, some bozo shows up and wipes out your margin. I have several orders like this that remain stagnant for a long time -- sometimes the prices on those items never recover. What do you fellas do in that scenario? (I'm sure croda has dealt with this because he posted about it. But, I don't think that post contained a next step -- just a lament that the bozo didn't recognize that in this particular case, volume isn't sensitive to price.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03469800316116875539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-4307229936225363972014-05-19T21:35:02.436+01:002014-05-19T21:35:02.436+01:00I don't even understand why people would think...I don't even understand why people would think this works.

So...I have read your blog and have used some of the tips you have shared as a way to make ISK in eve online. I made 100m, then 1b, then 5b, now I'm up to almost 15b with over 7b of that just lying around. Basically, I have too much ISK. In fact, besides the first week of two of trading I have almost never been fulling invested in the market. I have two traders Amarr and Dodixie with another character who sits in Jita. Do I open up another trade character? Sink it all in PLEX. Where do I put this dead ISK?marseillefroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243742922387269796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-49441992195997662802014-05-19T12:58:11.901+01:002014-05-19T12:58:11.901+01:00If after updating order, next day I see this price...If after updating order, next day I see this price, I usually cut alot, which would be probably 300mil, while upping buy order by the same amount, After 2 months break, I put 100bil sell orders and I can tell that on first day some implants from 100mil difference between buy/sell went to 70, and will go 50 next day or even less.Zosiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923806436605751198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-18588028230361734652014-05-19T00:02:21.314+01:002014-05-19T00:02:21.314+01:00If on the rare occassion you post the same order p...If on the rare occassion you post the same order price as the person youre undercutting, the smaller duration order is placed at the top.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10866408238576366145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-55064445647968741642014-05-18T18:45:33.912+01:002014-05-18T18:45:33.912+01:00I see the other guy posted his order for 1 week du...I see the other guy posted his order for 1 week duration. It doesn't make much sense to post sell orders for anything other than 3 months.<br /><br />This isn't WoW, it doesn't cost any more to post an item for a longer time. It costs exactly the same to post it for 1 day as for 3 months.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.com
