Pareto's Law: It is a common rule of thumb in business; e.g., "80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients." Mathematically, the 80–20 rule is roughly followed by a power law distribution (also known as a Pareto distribution) for a particular set of parameters, and many natural phenomena have been shown empirically to exhibit such a distribution

So recently I dusted off the isk wallet and seeded a promising market in the Curse region (https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5929311#post5929311). My goal is to continue researching 0.0 markets in need of a constant flow of goods that provide steady returns with minimal day to day maintenance. Curse market #1 has already hit a steady 250m/day average and I am pleased with the trendline. My plan is to seed another system in a similar manner in Curse very soon. Having said that I turn to MD in hopes of reducing my learning curve a bit.

I have the capital and clone resources to open other markets, what I lack is empirical data regarding top sellers. With the abundance of out of game tools available for most every aspect of Eve I am hopeful you can point me in the right direction and I can limit the number of line items I seed to those glorious 20% profit drivers.

Your input, as always, is much appreciated.

I think what your asking for here is repeat buyers - I would suggest you try and contact some alliance diplo's and find where you can help them out for a small agreed %.

I.e. you supply all ships for current doctrine and if given an agreed notice you will provide new doctrines.

Trick will be doing it w/o annoying the current logistics / indy branch.

Please like my posts it makes me feel better about the time I spend on the forums WTS... Smiles

your original post mentions fitted ships on contracts

that's a classic example of 80% wasted time.

sell the modules and hulls individually.

fully fitted ships only make sense if you are seeding an alliance staging system.

next thing:

make the locals know you are in the area, buy their stuff, haul their contracts

Check killboards for what gets lost in the region. Bring replacement ships and fittings in, as long as they aren't easily produced locally. (e.g. not much point hauling a Rattlesnake into Goon territory).
