You should do your own research to find your market.
Doing this in here is target painting your own ass for massive (thermal) damage. |

ok, well, im not totally sure what the market discussions is for if not this kind of thing, i believe it mentions sharing tips in the description, but ok......
as to my own research, they all look pretty similar in terms of sales, thats why im asking. |

More important is the location where you sell them. Buyers will want them in the same station where the ships are sold. So the best locations are in low sec.
Try to make a deal with a capital ship builder so you can provide the capital modules to him or sell the capital mods in his station. The best selling ones are capital armor repairers, capital shield boosters, drone control units and fighters.
Oh, and don't forget the Cynosural Field Generator, they sell like hotcakes.

1. Look up a well researched BPC on contracts. 2. At least me50. 3. Calculate the material cost of making the module. 4. Compare to sell price at your location of choice, and find the most profitable. 5. When module is found buy the BPO 6. Complete research on module 7. Start manufacture 8. Sell
There the complete guide to get into any manufacturing project!

Look at capital blueprints and see what module are required, and then select which one has a higher demand.
IE: Chimera needs 35 drone bays while every other module is under 10

There you go. The thing you need to remember here is that giving someone generic advice about missioning, mining, etc does hurt me. Posting about my highly profitable widget trade out of the Widgetia Navy station in New Widgetia? That loses me a lot of isk. People simply aren't going to be forthcoming about trade opportunities.
"Do your own research" is indeed the best advice you will get and it's good to see that you've taken it. If they look similar in terms of sales (and profit margins) then they probably are. Having said that, when I last looked at orca components, I found a couple that weren't in line with the rest. I believe that's gone now (since the orca is trading much lower than it used to be).
Another bit of advice. Since you've done the research (especially if it's in an easy to change spreadsheet form), keep it around. Circumstances change. What isn't a profitable opportunity now can change. Check every once in a while to see if the market has changed any.

Did you look anyone of capital module bpos ?They have same ME research time with BSs.Yoll not see much me50 cap module bpo/bpc . Substance with 20 hours building time your best bet is a capital manufacturer need modules (want to free up manufacturing slots and use for cap production)
Originally by: cosmoray 1. Look up a well researched BPC on contracts. 2. At least me50.

Modules and Components are different, but yeah. |

I 100% agree with Feronia here. The key point that will make you sucussful are:
1. Location they are so damn big you can only fit like 8 in a Iteron V max skills. So you don't want to be building more then 1 jump from a CAPITAL SHIP HUB. 2. Competition Most capital ship builders put modules on the market as well cause it makes for a better sales pitch, and most "I know I do" will put them at or slight above build cost to knock out any other competiton in that area. 3. Volume These are a select market, Make sure you do the research and find out which modules (I assume you are talking about AMMO and FIGHTERS too) are used the most and which are NOT used at all! |

I keep confusing the two, I meant components.
