As a miner, your main goal is to gather resources for either your own production or somebody else's. The market can be a fickle friend sometimes. Over the past 6 months, I have spent numerous hours gathering minerals to use towards projects. I have built several battleships, capital ship components, lots of ammo, and other components for my consumption. Today was a dream come true for a miner with nothing to build. A corpmate bought a capital ship component from me on the market the other day. I saw him online and asked what he was building. He said it was the last component he needed to build a Rorqual. He then started on about needing lots of minerals to do his builds and that he spends most of his time travelling around Providence to gather them. I had mentioned the piles that I was currently sitting and he showed a lot of interest. I took an inventory of what I had: 16,000 Megacyte, 19,000 Zydrine, 5,000,000 Tritanium, 1.1 million in isogen, etc. He offered me 225 million for everything. I did a quick calcualtion based on how much they would sell for in Providence and he was paying about a 15% premium over what they would've been on the open market. BOOM! Just like that I'm sold out of my minerals. and I had cleared the market in the 5 minutes it took to gather the stragglers and make the contract.
That is a good day for someone like me. I also have more than enough to finish the two other builds I was working on. My Impel needs another 400 or so Tech II components to be made. I also need a dozen or so high end PI items to be made/bought so I can finish building another large Amarr tower for a corpmate. That will also fetch about 300 million for myself. Since I'm flush with newfound riches, I can get a few skillbooks I have put off for greener pastures and I can resume rock crushing for the next big score. Arkonor and Mercoxit are still available for my strip turrets so I can get back on the horse and inventory more minerals in style....
