Jobeleca Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I've been tracking GTN prices since Jan 11th 2015 and use the following sheet to make 1-6 million credits a day on between 500k and 1 million credits daily investments. I just started a new sheet for 3.1.1 and posting here for anyone who is interested in the economy. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hNQtEokymstya3NqcaoYb45PYyjNXQ61pRDlckZo7rg/edit?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GopherLuV Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 That's a fair amount of credits made a day.. And a crapload of time spend watching prices and setting price points for buy/resell.. If you don't mind my asking what kinda time do you spend buying stuff up and relisting in an average day? I would assume it would take some time to search for each item that COULD provide profit and check that it's dropped below a certain level, buy it.. then wait for price to get back up.. I would assume your checking the GTN a few times a day to pull off that kinda volume. Although that's good profit you have to push out a huge volume of sales to make the kinda creds you are.. I prefer to invest about 300k and get a return of ~5 million.. gather adaptives off slicers (slicing is basically free if you run it enough and run all rich/bountiful) then purchase the 3 mats i need from vendors and the GTN (never buying mats at over 700 unit cost..).. Then add to that cybertech and biochem items crafted for another ~1-5 mil a week (double xp is great for these items).. My average of the last 3-4 weeks is 20 mil a week with maybe 10-15 hours invested (10-15 min every hour to send comps and about 1 hour in the morning to list.. 90% of selling is done tuesday-friday..) Your deff making a lot of credits, just wanna know what kinda time your putting in to do it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobeleca Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) It takes about an hour and a half, previously I was doing it daily, I've switched to every other day now - which has of course eaten into the rate I gain, but at a certain point that really ceases to matter.

robneilhendrix Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'm curious if you have some method of getting the prices for each item, or did you make a master list of all the items and just walk through it item by item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobeleca Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 The latter. There are other ways that are quicker with OCR, but I find mindless data entry of the same list day after day to be sort of relaxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undrvalued Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 You mentioned other quicker ways to track price such as OCR, what is OCR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinler Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 You mentioned other quicker ways to track price such as OCR, what is OCR? OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. My old GTN tracking system that's been moth-balled for over a year used ABBYY specifically, which is a commercial OCR solution. There are free OCR programs out there, but I didn't find any of them powerful enough to successfully track the GTN. ABBYY was able to provide the firepower to do it, but there was a licensing cost to use it. The only thing holding back my GTN tracker was my own time constraints and my inability to fully automate the process. If anyone wanted to help automate the old system though I'd be happy to work with them. I know that Joe does great work, but there's a desire for coverage of many items on many servers that not even someone as diligent as Joe can fulfill manually. Just wanted to chime in since I have more experience than the average person with OCR solutions and GTN tracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinler Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Due to a new job where I will be forever on the road, I am discontinuing the price tracker. This is unfortunate and has motivated me to try to dust off my old tracker and see if a fresh look after so many months gives me any ideas for how to streamline it back into service.
