Okay now, there's a certain type of item I want to produce. I bought the materials for really cheap all around the forge region. I have all skills V. I calculate and see that if I produce with those materials I bought by placin buy orders all around the region, I make almost 9M per hour. So I started producing but traveling all around the region and sometimes going to other regions takes a lot of time.
So I calculated what the profit is when I buy all material from Jita 4-4 tru sell orders and produce right in Jita. My software (where I calculate stuff) says that I make 5.7M per hour.
Now I think that there should be something wrong in this. Why would people be traveling all around to buy cheap material if thats the case? Am I doing something wrong? If not, I will not bother traveling around and produce right away where I am stationed. |

Prices for buy and sell are higher in Jita. Several jumps out material prices start to fall as people will sell for less rather than haul to Jita....
So You,
1) buy from all over region 2) arrange to have "others" hauls stuff for you to Jita it it's too time consuming via courier contracts 3) make your stuff 4) sell your stuff ..... x) Profit |

or jus tput up buy orders in specific systems where youa re producing, and where people are mining/salvaging and not all over the region? Thus meaning you dont need to fly everywhere, except for one trip to jita, although if your in a good place you can often sell stuff right where you are at a mark up :)
So, buy cheap, sell high, = double profits :) |

Thanks for fast replies...
What I really want to know is, do people travel a lot to make maximum profit or do most of people just settle with the prices in couple of systems?
And second question is, what are the benefits for a POS? You can find 4-5 jumps out of Jita empty slots for 333 ISK. If youre not planning to sell your stuff in 0.0, why bother a POS?
Thanks. |

Research. Try finding a free ME or copy slot 4-5 jumps from a trade hub. Also, the POS manufacturing arrays have a time bonus, as do the research slots in POS labs.
Trying to do T2 production (where you need large quantities of BPCs) without a POS is just tedious. |

I find that people will travel for availability of items (i.e. everything can be found at Jita), but people tend not to travel if there is a reasonable deal for less ISK closer to them.
A POS in high sec is useful to guarantee open slots are available. Open slots around Jita tend to fluctuate over time and sometimes there are none to be had. Slots for BPO improvement are almost never available and a POS is good for that as well.

A POS in highsec will always have slots open (well, if you've sized it right)
It also produces stuff faster than a station (33% faster, with its 0.75 multiplier on the time used)
Anyway:
You calculate your manufacturing profit using Jita prices. You can still buy materials at lower prices, but that's a trade profit (as you could have just resold the materials at Jita prices, in Jita)
You don't subsidise one with the other. In general at least.
One place you might subsidise:
I have a component I can make, which would make me 1 million isk/hr, if the market could absorb the component at market prices. I have something that uses that component, which would make me a lower isk/hr than I'd normally accept. I use a little of the first isk/hr to make the second isk/hr palatable (while keeping the first reasonable).
