Fully skilled miner is probably the easiest to flog. Takes about 2 months

which begs the question why would any one ever buy one?

Manufacturing toon with 10 slots and Science V and a few other supports will sell pretty much instantly, and for a high ratio.

Even so, I would not advise skilling fresh characters for profit.

A better bet would be to flip characters. Try to get good deals on good characters, skill them up a bit more, then flip them for a profit.

A little research would probably yield the answer easiest.

Don't look at just the sell price, look at the costs to get that sell price.

Example: How long do you hold the account (monthly fee) + how much did the training books cost to get that price?

Say it's 2.4 million SP per month, 24 million SP total on that char across 10 months.

That's 10 PLEX @ 550m each = 5.5 billion just keeping that account alive for that time.

Now add on the costs of the skillbooks and implants to it and see how much you could sell that char for.

Something that costs a lot for books (super caps), takes a lot of SP and the like... Yes they show big numbers on the sales but looking at their costs... I've seen many lose value vs gaining.

This is why some specialize in buying and re-selling on the market vs training from scratch. You've "commoditized" the "product" vs going through the creation process with all associated costs so the value gain is much easier to predict and such.

Train a character to have perfect off grid boosting skills and it will sell like candy. For quick investment though, I would train a character that can babysit capitals.

Fun factor characters, falcon pilot, other recons, hmm for sure miner if you prefer sell it fast, or tengu pilot.

In your case perosonaly i would take like recon + tengu + maybe a ceptor pilot, this mix give ability to mission runing and pvp.

After x month you cant got decent even good character who are specialised in two ship types, even on two rases.

Example Tengu, falcon and rook at same time + ceptor that take few day to get lvl 5 frigates + spec, all shield all missiles, beter than plan that force you to skill multiple gunery type and armor mixing witch sheield, both good in pvp and pve at once, just my idea.

If it bleed we can kill it.

I've made some good coin grabbing a bunch of PO2 accts when available and focus train for T3 ships. Caldari tends to sell the fastest but at the cost of a lower price and Gallente will net the most but take the longest to sell.

Give them a good name, decent portrait, never leave starter corp and don't use more than one remap. You will be looking better than most sellers.

Great. I'm now have a mental image of tiny capsuleers piloting a large troll faced CCP Falcon's face just arriving on grid, ECMing everyone and stealing the ship kill before warping off with the words "BECAUSE OF FALCON!!" appearing everyone's screen in rainbows
