Here we are
at the end of August, it was a good month in term of business, and lot of goals
were achieved, a lot of lessons were learned also, the net worth increased for
8.011 billion ISK, which means 11.26%, reaching 79 billion ISK.
Contrary to
the last month were all the production was sold, I can’t really calculate the
real profit now, as many freighters are still not sold yet, I have manufactured
18 freighters, 9 of them were sold, and still 9 in inventory, also 1260 items
of T2 modules from different sizes were manufactured and sold, no significant
inventory is left.
I think I was
able to do better than this regarding the freighters sales, giving the fact
that I have started putting them on market very late at 17th of
August, despite this the milestone of manufacturing more than 12 freighters is achieved,
the T2 large scale manufacturing campaign launched after 15th of
August was successful also, almost doubling the sold items.
To be able
to produce this much of freighters, I moved my manufacturing base to a low sec
rigged sotiyo, lowering the time of production of the ship to about 4 days
instead of 9 days, and because of the industry index, this move comes with a
huge price, the manufacturing fees went skyrocket, more than 4 billion ISK only
for reactions and manufacturing, and the courier to low sec was not cheap, now
I am standing here scratching my head, and learning this lesson the hard way, to
solve this problem, I will move back my freighters manufacturing base to HS (canceled, check the next post),
and train my second character to be able to build large ships, like this I will
have a potential of manufacturing 20 freighters at the same time, and save the courier
fees by doing it by myself as usual.
The T2 side
is doing well, the selected items perform good despite fluctuation, I need to
add another item to this golden list, other second line items like turrets are
doing well also, but only if you put them in the market at the right time, it
is a good idea the produce a batch of them and monitor the market for the right
moment.
The
invention business was active the second half of the month, I still have an
inventory of about 1300 T2 BPC ready for production, I just stopped using decryptors
to lower my costs.
Also for
the reactions, the business was very active, it was literally a non stop, I
have a huge inventory of R4 moon goo to be reacted to composite material for capital
parts manufacturing, I will surely fell short of reaction slots once stepping
to the combat capitals manufacturing, plexing a second account is probably soon.
I went
aggressive this month regarding the sale strategy, updating the prices 2 to 3
times a day, the brokers fee was less than I expected, looks like I will
continue doing this, also I started putting some serious buy orders on morphite
and hybrid reactions, the orders filled quickly in jita, and struggles in
Amarr, looks like Jita is a good place to buy and terrible to sell, buy orders
will be part of my process.
I still have
to conquer Jita in term of sales, one freighter only was sold there, the mov-op
is long and risky, in Amarr the market shows signs of its limited size, I was fighting
lack of clients more than competition there, Dodixie starts being on my radar
now.
I was
seriously preparing the launching of combat capitals manufacturing, it will be
in the low sec sotiyo, the courier provider is chosen, and all the blueprints
were bought, I need to inject 3.5 million skill points to the main to be able
to manufacture these capitals, the first batch will be considered as a trial, I don’t
expect doing a good margin, I want to test the contract sell method to have a
clear view, I need to build my experience in this field from scratch, bundling
these capitals with the most common modules and isotopes for jumping is a good
idea also, zkillboard gives valuable info about this.
