Hi,
i'm doing invention for a while now, and have been struggling with the same problem: how to sell the manufactured items, generally because I hate haul the stuff to a market hub, and than to stay there and change my pricing every 10min with 0.01. Do you guys have any solutions to this, how could I sell my stuff easier? I don't mind loosing a few percents of my profit. I know an alt would be a possible solution, but all my alts are tied up in the R&D process.

Sell your items in a lvl4 missioin hub.

List the items and location. Let's see if we can work out a bulk deal.

As the guys said above. But also consider using the forums & you can look for a pvp corporation(s) that may want to buy stuff off you as a customer.

Ok, location is Everyshore region, mainly the Tolle side of it, the main goods (all tech2) I can deliver in bulks are: - medium hybrid blasters - engineering equipment, although anyway I calculate medium nosferatu usually gives me negative profit, so prob won't build that - most of the drones

Where would I find such a corp? I don't think they look in the Want to Sell section of the forums.

look around your area for active lowsec PvP corps then mail them saying youd like to supply them with your produced goods on a regular basis and ask if they are interested.
if you find a corp not going paranoid they might actualy be happy since most items in lowsec are higher priced then jita for example. theyd save a few bucks. edit: and the long trip to the trade hub.

Join the mailling list "bulk trade" there yo can send a list of items (minimum is 5 per item) and the price you want.
As long as you offer a bulk discount then they will sell
Most of times i have sold my goods within 15mins of mailing it too the list.
any other info you want just mail/convo me in game

I would diversify more. When I was producing T2, I did about 30 different items ranging from medium guns to tanking modules. Some sold faster than others in a medium hub (Hek) but as long as they sold by the next week, it worked out. Something else that helps is producing in the same region that you're selling because you can adjust your prices from where you normally hang out.

List your items at one price, and ignore them until they sell, or the sell order expires. Works for me.
Of course, you did do your research beforehand to notice market trade volumes, pricing, and trends, right?

This is, by far, the most dificult aspect of being an industrial. Getting minerals is easy, getting BPOs is pretty straight up, factory slots are plentiful, manufacturing is piece of pie....
Trying to sell your stuff, at a profit, quickly... well, that's the problem. You have to wait for someone to buy from you. This, I think, is why self-destructing ships for insurance was so popular. It provided a quick was of transforming minerals into ISK without having to deal with those pesky customers.
I have found 2 solutions.
1) If you have small working capital, build stuff, put it up for sell in a high volume trade hub, and play the penny wars. If you don't have billions to let ride on sell orders, then turns is your only option. The more times you turn the inventory, the more total ISK you make.
2) If you have lots of working capital, then put your orders up for a reasonible sell price and wait. Go back every so often (like every couple days or once a week) and see if there are large volume orders below you. Consider lowering if the market has really moved away from you.
Or, you could do what so many others have done. Realize that industry is pretty time intensive and low reward, forget about it, and just go run high sec L4's for fun and WAY higher profit.

Thanks for the advice guys, it was really helpful. Since posting in a trade hub didn't work out, I'll probably will try out "the bulk trade" mailing list, and maybe I can find a PvP corp for a steady client.

Or you can skill up "Daytrading" which makes you able to remote "babysit" your buy- and sell orders.
Just haul your goodies there, place them to the market and go wherever you want. You should¦nt leave the region your hub is in, as daytrading 5 lets you remote them regionwide.
Hope this helps.
