Market Discussions

I have a corp mate who is absolutely in love with spread sheets for this that and everything to do with mining but it's almost impossible to get him to make one for PI (something I've been wanting to get into) Not looking for a troll input of "OMG YOU WANNA PI YOU NEWB!!!" or "IT MAKES NO MONEYS" because I know it does. Maybe not so much in High Sec but any cash on the side of what I'm doing for mining would be amazing IMO.

So again If anyone has a possible link for a spreadsheet (thinking google ones) Please feel free to help me and others who have been looking for one. The spreadsheet should involve some form of calculating the market prices (updated by eve central or what have you) in order to make sure you aren't wasting your time making bad stuffs (IE make something for a profit)

Would be greatly appreciated :)

Honestly wasn't sure if this was the proper forum to post in so for that I apologize! And as far as having someone look it up for me. I've already tried looking it up through google and every single one I found was in some way broken or just not updated. Honestly though thank you much for pointing me in the right direction! Much appreciated m8! :D

My PI Profitability SpreadSheet

Yup, this is the one I use. I modified mine slightly to fix a minor error in the calculation of the cycle cost of biocells, since it's treating them as if they were a P0 material instead of a P1. I also changed it so it uses the minimum sell values of the goods I'm buying to manufacture, mainly because I like to always assume the worst when calculating profits. Two trips a day to my three high sec planets yields me an average daily profit of ~8 million isk. Are there better profits to he had? Probably, but it doesn't hurt to keep this up until I feel it's profits don't outweigh the 5 minutes of work it takes to restock the planets and gather the goods.


@Wyke: Thanks for writing that spreadsheet, by the way. I used your sheets as a basis for learning how to write XML API calls and XPATH entries in google spreadsheets, which I applied to several spreadsheets that I now use to track my orders and automatically select profitable items from my chosen niche resale market. Had my first ever 100 million isk profit day, today, and your PI spreadsheet is what triggered that entire process.
