Any general rule go by for when to sell at a negative price or just reprocess a particular mod? Seems way too time-consuming to have to figure it out for each item each time!

I`ve axed the same question a few times, and the consensus seems to favour selling "named" mods at the best price possible, and reproc-ing the remaining offal. Get NPC corp standing nice and high, and train up Refining and Refinery Efficiency so you dont have to give any of your hard-fought loot to the man!
Er, thats it.

My general rule of thumb: meta 1 modules get reprocessed, everything else is sold.

Anything worth more than (about, my limit varies depending on the number of free sell orders) 100,000 ISK gets sold, the rest gets reprocessed. -- You can't do that with a Planet. |

Edited by: Doddy on 01/12/2008 01:13:13 Use the eve-info recycler posted above. Once you add your preferences (standing + repro skills, mineral prices) it will tell you what you would get for reprocessing any ship/mod/ammo etc. Dont use the default values though, use real mineral prices. Once you know the repro value you can fill any buy orders (or check eve-central for hub prices) for over that and repro the rest.
Selling high meta and reprocessing low meta doesn't really cut it. Supply and demand can effect the prices alot more, to the extent that the meta 4 "accomodation" large rep is usually not worth keeping but meta 1 damage controls almost always are. Even some t1 items (ammo, drones especially) can be depending on where you are.

Basicly all Meta 0-1-2 and in some cases 3.

Ultimately it comes down to what price you put on your time and attention.
For example, I tend to melt down any modules worth less than 100k as a rule of thumb.
Think about it, on one hand I could sell component 'x' for 100k on the market. I'd have to check the market, setup a sell order etc... Of course I could probably sell some components straight away, but unless it's a high turnover product it'll often they will be 1-10% lowball offers (so better to reprocess). So to get a good price you'd want to setup a sell order usually. And that's all a bit of effort. Might take 2 minutes minimum if your a trader. And there's no instant or guarenteed sale, u may sit on it for a week after that and have to put in more time isk fighting to get it sold. 5-10mins effort per order is not unreasnoble.
Or on the other hand u can recycle it, you might only get 50k worth of straight away sellable minerals, so tradeoff is less potentially.. but what what you gain is more time, which you can be used to blow away more NPCs (or pilots :P) do more missions, whatever and get even more stuff to sell/reprocess...
Depends what is a good amount for you, if 50k is important then you'll put the time in to do an order.. but after u accumulate capital you'll want to scale up to avoid being swamped micromanaging things.
Cheers

I reprocess all non-named items whatever the value and any named module with an average market value of under 200,000 isk. I sell named items with a average market value of more than 200,000 isk. I generally find that the buy orders for most items value the item at less than the reprocessed mineral value, so I reprocess 95% of my loot and use / sell the minerals.

Keep in mind to try to find someone (or yourself if you feel like training it) with Scrap Metal processing. This will reduce the waste from refining those mission loots.

Basket, first: it depends if you just fill buy orders or if you put up sell orders at a suitable place for the items, plus how your repro skills are (with 5+3/4 you can repro many items with a good conscious, below that....maybe)
Also it depends on the category of items. In some they repro into the same ammount of minerals from meta 1 to 4, in some meta 1 are the "mining by shooting" stuff, meta 2 and above yields up to 50% less! (hint: guns.....)
There are actually a lot of people who use others for some kind of passive mining in buying mission loot pretty cheap compared to the minerals the items yield. To all the people here who sell generally stuff over a certain ISK ammount i can just recommend: do the maths at least once. You will be surprised.

I basically just reprocess everything except for a few of the large guns that I know can sell for a lot more than they refine for. If I see a named item that I'm not familiar with I might take a peek at what it sells for on the market, but if I see buy orders for like 500 of that item and sell orders that aren't much higher in price I start to get suspicious that people are just refining that item so I refine it instead. My emphasis is on getting rid of trash quickely as well as minimizing going through the laggy market interface. Sub-optimal perhaps but I make some of that back through production of larger more marketable items.

Recycle anything that is worth more as parts than as a whole. Price, item type, etc... is irrelevant.
Yes, it is time consuming and I recommend you get a spreadsheet.

I've done the calculations on many items and made a spreadsheet for future reference.
For items I have found to be worth more recycled, I keep one of each in a "trash sorter" station container. Then, when you have a new load coming in, just dump it all in the trash sorter can (in icon view, so all the new items are at the bottom of the list), then stack-all and remove any of the new items that didn't stack onto the old items.
Every once in a while, remove all but one of each item type from the trash sorter and reprocess and sell. ----- I'm a collector! Want to trade? See my Collection List and contact me. |
