04 – First batch lessons

The batch finished and it is in Jita sales since 3 days now, 2 of 7 items in the batch already vanished from my sales in less than 24 hours, others still struggle, as their prices start to fall, looks like I came a bit late for the profits party.

What I can do now is to babysit the orders until the end, the harsh competition in Jita has no mercy. 

The market fluctuation hits hard again, and what is profitable yesterday is barely doable today, I think this is one of the most important factors to understand in EVE Online, but it is not the only approach, I can just stop following what is profitable today and focus on what is profitable often, means to play the long game, and accept to tie few billions in sales orders for days, to do this I will rectify my sales strategy as per the following:

  1. revise / add more items to the manufacturing batch to spread the risk of fluctuation, now I have 7 items, I will rise to 10.
  2. Reserve 30% of my output to be sold in Amarr hub and accept the fact that it may takes time.

The second batch has been already started with the previous list of manufacturing, guess I will apply these corrections in the coming one.
