Wormholes

Just trying to get some feedback from the wormhole community. I have deployed an eve wide structure based buyback program and am curious about the wormhole communities opinion on if they would consider it as a tool for exchanging goods for isk. The program has currently been deployed in 24 systems with expansions on the amount of buildings planned for the future for more coverage. I suppose I am looking for feedback on if the convenience of having an out a few scans out, to exchange goods for isk, would be a benefit utilized by wormhole pilots or if current methods of getting goods to Jita are not as much of a pain in the butt as I am assuming they are. Any enlightenment on current practices and why the services may or might not be used would be extremely helpful.

A link to the twitch page with info on the buyback system. www.twitch.tv/evegasco

Good to know. So items from sleepers would go to NPC stations. Thanks for filling me in on that. What about salvage, mining/huffing, exploration and PI goods? Are these not very common commodities for WH pilots to try and acquire?

Yeah, pricing would get better after time. With starting such an isk risky business designed to blow up, I wasn't willing to loose 14b in structures and also have the loss to buyback purchases of the 15% asset recovery system until the business shows whether or not it's viable. I created Gas Co for content and for new players more than making isk. Thanks for the info, are there any scenarios you can think of where WH pilots may use the service?

Yeah, the buyback side of the business is purchase only and plans are to have PushX move the goods from my sites. I could move them myself but later stages of Gas Co would involve trying to make a deal with them to benefit the Eve community that use the Gas Co services. So a loss to profit would possibly pay out in a better shipping cost structure for new Low Sec pilots. All the current Gas Co locations are in Low Sec close to Null Sec if not bordering it directly.

If it is by "preferred trade hub" then Gas Co sites are the farthest away from any that is not in Nul Sec. Later expansions are to be expected if the business pans out. The first launch sites are on the twitch page and you will see that they are literally all around the eve universe in the deepest low sec spaces I would get them. Second roll out would further fill Low Sec to saturation. Gas Co will not be in high sec for a very long time unless there is a demand for it.

So as long as the content side of the business becomes perpetual, and locations are open, there could be some usefulness to wormhole pilots depending on the situation?

The price will drop once Gas Co proves viable as a content generator. If it doesn't do that having the business structure based would not work, and my interests in the business would be nothing. That seemed like a good spot for until then as the asset recovery system was at that point. What would in your mind be a good number. The best info I have suggests corp buybacks would normally be at 90-93%. Do you have any better intel on the subject?

I know wormhole pilots are an entirely different breed of mentality. I would imagine anyone that could spend 45mins cloaked creeping up on someone in their hole for a kill would not mind the grind of getting goods to Jita. I thought that isk per hour may come into play and spending all the scanning time and space trucking may outweigh the possible isk gained in that time especially with holes rolling on them. I would love to be enlightened on the subject.

What seems to be every day knowledge to you has all ready helped me get a better understanding on what to expect. Any further pearls of wisdom would be helpful. Thanks.

At the end of the day youre never getting anyone to sell you blue loot under NPC buy price since those stations are everywhere.
A lot of corps have people who will buy gas in system at Jita buy price since they use it for reactions and what not so youre not getting that either and people who mine in WHs tend to use it themselves for manufacturing (ore you mine is free right?).
This basically leaves melted nanos, asuming there isnt a T3 producer in corp who buys at jita price, and random PVP loot.
Good luck in your ventures i guess.

PS: If you draw the line estimate at 45min cloaked waiting for a kill, your seriously underestimate whers ;)

For isk making, yes. what else do you expect to do there?

We imported probably 5Mm3 per month raw materials into our wormhole because we're just too small to supply ourselves. So there's all kinds of operations going on of all different varieties and sizes.
