Just wondering if anyone buys P2 from markets and has factory planets set up to turn those into P3. If you do this is it more profitable throughout the week? I've been doing extraction on 4 planets then P1-P3 on 2 planets, but it seems like it's taking a while to build the P3 and would be more profitable overall just to buy the P2 turn into P3. Or even buying P3 and producing P4 with them. Thoughts or any suggestions please.

That's what I've been thinking too after i made that first post... Not currently home to do so, figured I'd see if I could get some info in the next several hours before I am.

that is the only right suggestion! too many variables to be able to give you any answer.
which P3? buy/sell orders for input and output materials? your trading skills and standings for taxes and broker fees? your customs code expertise level and POCO tax rates?
since in this case your profit is a margin, all these little percents mean much more than when you just extract and sell.
make a spreadsheet, set it to get prices from api calls from eve-cental and get your profits updated a single button press away.
