Business end at the front, party at the back.
Another uneventful day as far as blogging goes unfortunately. I didn't have a great deal of time to play today but I did do a spot of both trading and exploration.
The most interesting thing to happen was finding an implant on the market of which the sell price in Amarr was 150k cheaper than the best buy price in Jita. So I of course bought out every single one that would make me profit after tax calculations and flew the 9 jumps to that most wretched hive of scum and villainy. 5 or 6 million profit off that item, plus the tens of millions of exploration loot I sold wasn't bad for 10 minutes of jumping. I mean, I know more established players can make that much quicker but as a new player every little helps. I could also have listed the implants as sell orders but honestly the volume of past sales wasn't reassuring so I was more comfortable just selling to buy orders rather than waiting for a) people to buy the implant or b) people to 0.01isk undercut.
While in Jita I placed some more buy orders on items I could transport down to Amarr on my daily trip back and flip them there for between 30-120k profit per item. And these were items I was buying for 5-10k. Such a huge discrepancy between the two main hubs but great margins for me and on a route I'm already taking daily.
Just as an aside, I won't be keeping track of exact amount of buy and sell orders because it all moves very quickly so my daily ISK total will only be what I have liquid in my wallet or, if I start stockpiling before selling, unsold exploration items. Although technically anything can go wrong on the way to sell so I might not even be comfortable giving that total - don't want to jinx it :) Not listing buy and sell orders will mean the ISK total won't reflect exactly how much I have until I cash out so it might seem like I'm not getting anywhere. Don't worry, I am!
