Market Discussions

Flakeys contacted me via eve-mail offering 5bn at the same interest rate so I took them up on it to see how well I can make this ISK work for me.

I will post similar updates as my previous loan just for people who enjoy seeing numbers.

Humble apologies for the delay. Christmas magic and all that kept me away from being able to post this.

With the increase in funds I have looked into more blueprints, sadly the ones I bought went down shortly after I was able to profit off the market so I cannot keep juicing them. With other items I have been manufacturing though I have made a healthy profit off of the market.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!is there night in space?

With flakeys sponsoring, I'm quite certain it is...

Thanks to holidays I have been kept occupied so I haven't actually had time to check into new items to make so I haven't bought anything and just had to move the current manufacturing line.

First thing that popped out to me was the profit of this report. While I think I'm doing pretty well, this stood out as pretty ridiculous even bringing into consideration I choose to make items with the highest ROI. I went back through eve mentat and made sure the cost price looked right for what ISK per Hour had(it did), then made sure the profit rate was being calculated correctly in EVE Mentat(it was) and then made sure the spreadsheet I'm using to make these reports easier on myself was correct.

I went through and manually corrected profit but that ended up increasing total profit so I'm a tad skeptical eve mentat or ISK per hour is calculating everything correctly. I'll investigate tomorrow morning when I wake and if anyone feels like poking and proding at this as well here's my least profitable item this period. If I discover anything tomorrow when I check out isk per hours cost price to make sure it's not really screwed up I'll update this post, I know isk per hours profit calculation is incorrect since nothing can have > 100% profit.

I am in the midst of wrapping this up early for the time being so I can properly figure out what is going on with the profit numbers. After looking at all my ISK and assets gathered from this I can see I have made a moderate profit, however it isn't close to where it should be so I'm 100% positive the rates I have been getting from ISK per hour and mentat aren't adding up correctly so after I wrap this up I will use the remaining isk from the previous bond and this one to dedicate my time to trying to see where the discrepancy is so I can hopefully attempt to fix it myself or contact the needed developers in hopes they can implement the needed change.

While I'm positive I'm turning a profit overall, I do not feel comfortable posting further numbers when I feel they are incorrect. For the summary for this month I will just post total outgoing and incoming ISK while ignoring transactions that are unrelated to this bond.
