Jita - Only Option?

Hey guys. I recently finished my first batch of T3 materials in my PI industry on all 4 planets and looking to sell the product. I have been trying to put them out in the local markets but so far, no buys on the T3's. I have sold some of the fresh T1's selling currently but no go on anything higher.

So the real question is. Is there any choice outside of Jita? Or just go ahead and move to a Jita region and be done with it.

Thanks.

P0-P4, not T0-T4.

JITA is the only place I've found with any volume in trading in the Planetary materials. The other hubs are only interesting if JITA spikes or crashes and the sell/buy orders from elsewhere become good hauling trades.

There's always the other tradehubs, but Jita has the biggest movement.
If you really don't want to go to Jita, go to Amarr or Rens.

Does railgun ammunition come in Hollow Point?

Also, unless the P3s are Robotics (used in POS fuel), the demand won't be all that high currently.

And even Robotics are struggling to stay above 68k ISK/u right now (when I expected them up around 80-90k long-term).

My theory is that with POCOs, bunch of people who didn't do PI previously jumped to it because their corp invested on some shiny piece of orbital hardware.

So the supply actually grew (even with all the "omg taxes ragequit" newbs possibly stopping). As soon as there was some actual skin in the game, ISK invested, the drive to keep the planets churning out stuff was much higher.

Cue price going down. If the tax system isn't going to be updated to be dynamic (taxing based on monthly weighted average or something like that), we could have some funny results very soon as the real tax burden keeps going up as market price goes down.

Except for those who own their POCOs, naturally. Which ensures that we probably get well into the "funny results" territory before most highsec PI people and people working under tax regimes of POCOs owned by others fold their PI chains.

Lol

(It is always funny to watch how hypercapitalist free markets react to CCPs crude meddling. In a "watch slow motion train wreck in progress" kind of way...)

I've found prices of PoS fuel and other PI going UP, at least in dodixie. Coolant's way up, construction blocks are selling for a couple of k over what I used to get for them.

You need to "create" the market for it, even in the trade hubs. Current market is manipulated by traders.
Offer it and figure out the price producers are going to buy and be happy when a trader relisting your stuff for a horrible price.
Use a calculator and you will figure out at what price producers can make a profit(typically <10 % ) with Buying your T1 materials and processing it. Importing stuff to planets is cheaper. So there is a theoratical demand. Be Patient.

Not including Gallente Oxytope block prices, assuming a zero-waste BPO, zero-waste manufacturing, and no desire to make a profit:

Nov 7th - 11.8k to 12.3k ISK/u
Estimated fuel block price on Dec 1st of 2011 - 13.9k to 14.3k ISK/u
Spiked a bit during the week of Dec 7th - 14.5-15.0k ISK/u
Dec 15th - 14.5-14.7k ISK/u
Dec 29th - 13.8-14.8k ISK/u
Jan 15th - 12.8-13.8k ISK/u

There's also a lot of "junk" blocks on the market right now due to the Christmas gift program.
