For example I could use the average prices from Eve-central......this provides me with a fairly consistent value. If I buy the minerals for less and I sell my produced items for more, then I'm fairly safe. I add in a buffer - I never buy minerals for more than 20% below the average and I never sell an item for less than 10% above the mineral cost. I assume I don't hang on to minerals too long and I sell what I produce quickly, so this buffer ensures profit unless there's a very sharp movement in prices. ______________________ Isn't it time you learned to fight back?

Baka Lakadaka Gallente Agony Unleashed Agony Empire	Posted - 2009.05.11 13:54:00 - [2] Originally by: Vidi Angelus Originally by: Imertu Solientai When I mine I do not pay anything for doing it. I can then refine that ore for 0 ISK too. I paid 0 ISK for the minerals. They are therefore free. This lets me manufacture stuff and sell it for a lot below market price, making me quick profits! The point isn't the cost, its the value. Why manufacture something and make 5Mil, when you could just sell the materials for less effort, and make 8 mil? You are making less money for far more work, and destroying the profits of career manufacturers. However if you'll continue like this, I'll buy everything you make thats under mineral cost This has turned into another YANMAFA thread (Yet another minerals are free argument). I totally agree with the above poster except for the part about destroying other manufacturer's profits. It actually enhances my profits......I get my minerals cheaper by recycling, I just move them into other more profitable modules. It's been years since I mined, I very rarely buy raw minerals and only occasionally buy ore if I can get it really cheap. True, I have some BPOs that are completely useless for manufacturing now, but at least I can invent off them. One day I might go back and make the modules again, but I'm happy to just store the BPOs until that time. ______________________ Isn't it time you learned to fight back?
