Hey guys, I spoke roughly with a guy I saw in jita local today I wont mention his name but he was selling afew jump freighters at 4b a pop. Does anyone have a real detailed from start to finish guide on how to make isk in manufactuing ships. I mean, yeh I train some skills and buy a bpc, then buy all the minerals and build a ship and sell it. But am I really making any money? I mean some people have hundreds of billions of isk on this game and the only way I think they could earn that much is by building hundreds of ships a week for an alliance or something. But then it still boils down do these guys do missions, reprocess the loot then use that loot to build ships? Surely not because it takes about 15 level 4 missions do get the minerals so its just not practical. Would I make a decent amount of isk if I just bought the minerals on market? Cmon guys let in on the secret just abit lol.
P.S I'm moving to 0.0 soon so building ships will be even harder because you need a pos and you have to fly far to get the minerals ect ect.

Well thanks for the tips guys. I would most likely triple my money if I got an alt miner based in highsec that just mines all day and I use my main for other stuff. Then I could get most of the minerals for without actually buying them, thus saving myself alot of isk. I wont even ask but trading is another one of them "how the hell do you guys do it" type questions lol. I understand about buy low and sell high but you cant charge the earth something cos people will just click the order below yours and save 2m lol.

Well actually im not selling anything atm. But why is this a bad idea? let me see one sec..... buying trit of the market to make ships, or mine to make the trit myself with an alt? I choose mine myself.

whoa im just not understanding what you guys are saying. If I have all the minerals I need to build one ship lets say, but I need 5million units of trit. I could mine them 5m units and then build that ship. Or. Just buy the 5m units of trit for 15m isk. But then I have effectivly lost 15m isk cos ive just spent it on trit?
Please someone explain how this is not being cost effective? at the end of the day it costs 0 isk for me to mine. But it takes time. And over time I could make more isk if I just bought the trit? Is that what you guys are saying?

hmmm.... lol ok with a simple yes or no answer if one exsists. would I make more money from each ship sale if I buy the minerals needed from the market using the profit from my first ship sale. Or would I make more money per ship sale if I kept ALL the profit from the first sale and went and did some mining to get the rest?
Item in question would be a drake. But what ill do tomorrow is ill see how much it costs to buy all the minerals at the market cost incuding a bpc of the ship and add it up. Then see how much the ship is selling for and if I can make a profit and how much. Then ill buy all the minerals from the market exept the trit and see if I would make more money.
Time isnt money for me, I just want to make more money by doing whichever way makes me more per per sale. If it takes me 2 hours to mine the trit rather then pay 15m for it ill do it. Even if after the sale of the ship I only actually make 10m more then I would if I just bought the trit.

Right well everyone is saying that its either the same or cheaper to buy the trit. well I guess I wont do it then cos in my wallet is only 50m once I buy all the minerals and the bpc which cost 50m I can sell widget for 55m, so I now has 55m. But I think ill buy all the minerals and the bpc for 35m and spend one hour mining to get the trit. but wait...! I still has 15m in my wallet? so then ill sell the wdget for 55m. but hold on? that means I has 70m in my wallet?
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY OR HOW THE IS THE SAME, HONESTLY....

EXACTLY you guys actually thought I am going to build something if once its sold dont = more then that the minerals cost in the first place?
Obviously im going to make sure that the ship im building is worth more then all the minerals I paid....

OK after doing some research it turns out I could build the ship by mining the pyerite and trit and id make 29m 700k profit. But If I just bought all the minerals id make 100k profit less then if I just sold everything so thats too much effort for an extra 100k. So the best option here seems to be that I dont buy any minerals and just mine the trit and pyerite to sell it.
