my Inventory is showing an estimated price of 55.8M ISK. I want to know what this means as I have around 22M in cash and the rest is ships and modules etc. But if I really have 55.9M ISK of valuable items then I want to convert them to cash ISK. How do I find out the items making up 55.9M?

Also is there somewhere which values all your stuff and reveals a net worth or stats on your wealth?

For the first part of your post:

That is an estimated ISK value of the items in your inventory across all of EVE. Individual markets and trade hubs might be higher or lower. In order to convert into usable ISK, I recommend you transport those items and dock up at a trade hub (link for hubs listed below). From there, click and drag the item into the station hangar. From there, right click on item and click "sell".

The market takes a bit of practice getting used to. I recommend for each item that you "View Market Details" to see what other people are selling at in that station, and copy their price.

For the second part of your post:

No. There is no spot that will give you a total net worth. The only way to do so is check the values for all assets across space, and add together manually.

There's an app I'm using, jEveAssets, that does just this. You can give it APIs for multiple chars and corps, and get totals for any combo of those chars and corps. Quite a nice program.

Select certain items by left clicking on them once or drag clicking or shift clicking to select multiple items. That will tell you the value of whatever items you have highlighted.

As mentioned, jEveAssets is a great little tool, but takes some time to setup, for a quick and dirty but still accurate estimate, switch to list view, copy and paste here.

As it turns out I had a free gift which came from CCP for Xmas and one thing alone was worth 31M!! Add the cash balance of around 22 and some ship values then it is a lot more than 58.9M now.

FWIW, the amount of isk you have does not have any influence on that number, it's only items.

This 56M is only items in the hangar you are looking at. So, if you have items tab, this means only modules (no ships). If you have selected ship hangar, then the value is of all ships (no modules). Not sure if fitting on ships and their cargos count, but I think they don't.

To convert junk to ISK you might want to check various people or groups that specialize in buying junk from people at say 90-95% of estimated market value. You will gain slightly less money than if you sell semi-valuable items in trade hubs and reprocess the rest (+ sell materials), but you don't need to haul stuff around and wait for it to sell.

Hello.

I would recommend travelling to the station in the sytem Jita.
Planet 4, moon 4, Caldari Navy Assembly plant.

This is the place where most players are buying and selling stuff.

If you sell your stuff here to an "immediate" buy order - you are getting the "most average price" for your goods.

If you are out in "the outer rim" in a remote system - the markets there most of the time are heavily underpriced. And you will get much less for your items. We're speaking a great deal here. You might loose as much as 50% or more by selling to immediate orders out in remote systems.

The reason for this is that big time traders (real life players) are creating buy orders in remote systems at undercut prices. This makes them buy items off other players for a cheap price. When they have accumulated enough items - they fly out with their huge hauler and haul the stuff to another place where they can sell for a huge profit.

However if you actually want to be a successful market trader then here's a little mantra to remember :

Never sell to the buy order or buy from the sell order.

In 99.9% of cases that'll serve you well, there's always the odd occasion when someone really screws up their buy/sell orders...

That is true. There is more money to be made.
Although you would need to spend some time maintaining your orders to match the current prices, escpecially in Jita prices levels tend to shift alot and it doesnt take long until your price in either a sell or buy order is outmatched.
And as for example a PvE pilot doing security missions or ratting you might end up with a huge variety of items from loot - making you need to train trading skills if you were to follow that mantra - since you would need to expand the number limit of your market orders.

So it basically comes down to how much time and effort you want to invest just to squeeze those last 10-20% of ISK out of your loot when getting rid of it.
- And if you need the money immediately, or if you can wait for it to get a bit more.

We're going off-topic but meh why not Smile

Basic trade skills don't take that long to train on an alt. You just want to be able to put up a reasonable number of orders & to be able to remotely manage them within a certain range - regional is nice but not necessary.

Most starter systems have a reasonable amount of stuff on the market within a couple of hops & most newbie players end up with loads of stuff they can't use.

This is an ideal place to start trading as you will know the area, you will know the loot & you will know what people use in the way of modules. Ideally you should also have some idea of what modules yield when reprocessed - there used to be a small armour repper which dropped that yielded several units of mega which sold for 3 times the price of the module. Unlikely there's much of that sort of thing left in the loot tables but its worth checking as local prices for rare minerals might be high.

I did just this when I came back to game in 2008 - made a few hundred mill out of it, then moved on to more specialised markets.

Its a good way of starting without bankrupting yourself Blink

Black-Hawk Ellecon this is why you should play EVE. No other game provides this depth.

How do I find out the items making up 55.9M?

When you have a bazillion items in your Cargo Bay or Item Hangar and want to just see what is making it so valuable, you can click the + symbol in the lower left corner of the windows to add a filter to the display, which can be based on Estimated Unit Price.

So hit the +, In the first drop-down pick "Estimated Unit Price", then in the second "Greater Than" and in the third field enter an ISK amount (75000 say), then enter a name for the filter and hit Save. From that point forward you can simply pick that name under My Filters to activate it.

Note that this is based on the per-unit estimated price, so if you pick up a stack of 20 things that sell for 10,000 each, the example above won't see it. You can play with the value threshold until it gives you a result you like.

You can also change the All/Any option to Any and add a second filter item for Stack Size Greater Than [some value] to see both large stacks and any items with a unit value above your original filter threshold. You can keep adding more conditions in "Any" mode if you also want to see items with a Meta Level > 1 etc.

When you have a filter active, there will be a notation in green in the lower right corner showing you how many things are not currently being shown, as a reminder of why you can't find the things you're looking for any more :)

Click the green dot next to the original + to disable all filters.
