Work the Big Head harder and drop the Little Tail altogether.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-37933134007204187902014-02-14T00:11:37.755-06:002014-02-14T00:11:37.755-06:00I dunno, but I'd probably be one of the riches...I dunno, but I'd probably be one of the richest players in the game.<br /><br />I'm really not rich enough yet to even make a good estimate of just how rich the richest players are but I'd say that's gotta be at least in the 10s of trillions and maybe a lot more than that.

I only have two account myself, but just break down all the items I trade into 7 seperate folders, and scan through them once a week, below that, I have a daily one for things that move fast and are more volatile. The Jita alt has to move that into two daily folders. Since I can do about 5 items a minute, put the list of everything I check a day down to <30, for 7 minutes per char. Then 10 courrier contracts per, so another 5 minutes per char to move stuff in from largest, to smallest margins of profit. Then just put buy orders back up for whatever has just sold out from my inventory.<br /><br />Keeps it pretty tight at 15 minutes - 30 at most... I don't think it would scale to the amount of chars you have though.Kate 'Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993019414595472147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-85058883429613486962014-02-13T03:41:37.867-06:002014-02-13T03:41:37.867-06:00Nice read.

Even though you say you spend so little time and tell in detail how you do it, it still amazes me how you keep stuff updated for so many characters. I have handful of traders, basically 3 main and 1 that I check very rarely. The 3 traders have so many buy/sell orders filled in on daily basis that if i do not update every few days, they are in stagnation. (I am talking about tens of billions) And with only 3, to manage my loot, setup sell/buy orders check stock levels for items, makes 1 hour just melt, before even starting serious updating.<br /><br />As alternative I now setup crazy amount of buy/sell orders and check in once a week. Downside is that I am always low on isk :), even with 250bil for 3 characters.Zosiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923806436605751198noreply@blogger.com
