EVE New Citizens Q&A

Don't know anything about PI, but I'd suggest you try selling in Jita; if that's too far maybe Hek. Nobody is going to go a zillion jumps out of their way to save a couple ISK on manufacturing supplies unless the volume is very large.

First, there are quite a few goods that basically only sell in Jita (or possibly the other larger market hubs) and this applies very often to non-end products like the one you are trying to sell.

Also it is quite possible you are simply building the wrong stuff, or perhaps products higher on the production chain will sell better. It would not be a bad idea to do some market research in Jita (compare prices, effort to produce and volume of the market). Also note that sometimes a product high up the chain might sell for less then its components. The other way around might occur as well, ofcourse.

A PI chain you cannot really go wrong with are those for POS fuels : coolant, enriched uranium, mechanic parts and robotics.
This is also a chain that is not really difficult to do. For EU, Mech and Robotics you just need 4 base materials and you can produce all three.

Finally I believe there are quite a few websites and tools around to support your PI endeavours, google around for them, they can really help you a lot.

Good luck

First thing is that any shmuck with out knowledge (as in putting skills in training queue) can make electrolytes, so you have to get farther in the food chain and for the love of god forget extracting anything in high sec or even in low sec unless it's 0.1-0.3 sec status system (near null like quantities for extraction).

Above of c. means you have to do some research of what sells and what doesn't,
As the above poster stated you can't go wrong with POS fuels or with parts needed for more advanced manufacturing.

You either need to haul your goods to market or create one where people will come to you. You don't have to create a hub - just a market where people will come to buy what you are selling.

To get them to come - you MUST have enough to make the trip worthwhile - AND - there must be a need for what your selling in your region. If they can make a few jumps to fetch what they need from you - they'll often be happy to forgo the better price they might pay in a trade hub but they usually are not interested in buying up 50 small lots to get what they need.

That and you have to wait.

Understanding your region is important as well as understanding your product and where it fits in with other products.



The reason for going to a trade hub is high volume. Trade hubs are where buyers go to find things - as they can pretty much find anything they want at the trade hub. The thing is - there is also a LOT of competition in the hubs with .01 ISK wars common place. So - you'll often get better prices for your goods out in the regions rather than at the hub. But - you can sell things faster at the hub too - especially if you're selling to someone's buy order - which of course, while giving you an instant sale, is not going to get you as much money as if you put up a sell order.
