Edited by: Thorindor on 04/11/2005 16:18:15 I can almost fly mining barge lvl2. Until then I've been mining in a Maller with 4 miner IIs. I dump the ore in containers and my alt comes in a barge and takes it away. So far been operating only in Empire space. The ore of choice for me has been Scordite and Omber. After about 18 hours of nonstop mining a figure if I sell my ore at the best possible price I'll get about 6 mil. 6 mil? Thats about 330 thousand a hour. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

hmm 6mil?? Would be easier knowing the full skills you have for cruiser, mining, astrogeology etc but 6mil to me seems very little.
Each miner 2 (assuming only lvl 4 mining for miner 2's and only mining scordite) will take around 480units of Scordite per minute = 1920units/min for all 4. so in 1 hour u will mine approx. 115,200units of scordite and in 18hours it'll be 2,073,600units. If i sold that amount at the price of 11.8 (the best price i could get the last time i checked) it would equal 24,468,480isk!!!! Melting it down to its individual mineral components would bring slightly more.
Having said that mining for 18 hours solid?? Are you crazy? I mine but only for a few hours before giving up the ghost and going off to kill a few things!!!!

How are you selling it? Are you doing a regional check on price and placing a sell order at that or just selling it for whatever order is in place. Use the market tools to make sure you know the average and calculate profits/hour for each ore. I can't figure out how you could make that little unless you sold at a huge loss.
Maybe you're just in a bad system. If so, train up your refining skills and ship minerals around, I have to sell between 2 regions in about a 15 hop range, and place sell orders at the price I like if it's sold well there in the past but has no good buy orders currently. There is some art to it, but you have time to scan markets while mining...

What are your mining skills at, what is the refining percentage of the station you're using, and what is your standings with the station's owners?
On a perfect refine, Omber should be worth between 3.5 and 4.5 million an hour depending on your region.
Try setting up sell orders for your minerals rather then filling existing buy orders. That could be your problem. NEVER sell minerals at below the regional average (at least the expensive ones such as Isogen and above).

You probably just rightclick -> sell item and sell straight away? If you do this you are for sure selling at pure ripoff prices..
