Just started a few days ago and jumped right into FW on my 3rd day! I've manage to get some decent amount of LP and at the same time losing ships cost me most of my money. I've tried selling Navy issue comet but they are not getting sold even if I undercut and have the lowest price in the region.

Any tips how vets converts their LP to ISK?

Currently Caldari LP are worth by far the most due to present market conditions (they are also the hardest to earn).

IIRC, Vexor Navy Issue BPCs are the most popular sink of large numbers of LP, although you should also research the datacores that are available.

Thanks for the tip unfortunately I checked contracts buying Vexor navy issue BPC and theres only 1 contract buying this item and is located in jita, Since I Joined Gallente FW I doubt I'll make jita air space alive :/

Also kinda scared transporting expensive items since I dont really know how to avoid camps/ganks.

It's kind of even between Caldari/Gallente. Cal is t1, gets 2-3k/lp and Gal is t2, gets 1-1.5k/lp.

You cannot post buy contracts for VNI BPCs due to the contract interface. There are buy contracts for BPOs, but those do not exist in the game.

However, VNI BPCs will *always* sell easily at about 13 million below the cost of the completed ship. Jump in the 'Blueprints' channel and say 'hey guys, I have 8 Vexor Navy Issue BPCs in highsec, auction, start price = 440m'. They'll sell.

Or you can build the ships and sell them.

Just make sure you don't try selling the BPCs for 120% of the price of the complete ship.
If you want them to sell fast, don't use an auction, they have to run their complete time (unless someone hits the buyout price). If you join the Blueprints channel, advertise the BPCs, negotiate a price and then put up the contract, most people there would prefer private contracts because they can be accepted anywhere in the cluster.

Converting LP is pretty straight forward thing simply check the market price and divide it with LP and you'll soon notice which items bring the biggest bang for the buck.
In the old days +4 implants used to bring up a decent profit, however my old days means "before the removal of learning skills, new forums and new avatars and certainly before FW" so things might have changed a lot even if the actual implant prices seem to have remained the same.

The problem with "here's a great way to convert LP into isk" suggestions is that once everyone starts to use that method, the market for what's being sold will tank.

My suggestion would be to be the seller for whatever it is you're pulling out of the store and then to also move it to market. There's a lot of items that are pretty small in the LP store(blueprints, implants, datacores, charters) that would be fairly easy to run up to high sec in a fast frig without much risk of being popped. Once there you can just have an alt run it to Jita, or you can scout out some other markets and see if the items coming out of FW space aren't one of the big suppliers of a certain consumable that another region needs.

That's true of low demand markets. Higher demand markets - ammunition, good faction ships and datacores - are a bit less sensitive to increased supply.

Whilst the best ways to convert LP to ISK will indeed be the narrow niches, the high demand options usually have some pretty solid options you can always use if you cannot be bothered fighting to control the market of one of the narrow niches.

Vexor Navy Issues are a solid example of this. They'll never be the highest value option but they will remain a good option as long as VNIs remain good ships.
