    Default Miners Wanted!

    So here is the deal. I'm starting to do a lot more industrial stuff and I'm running short on minerals. I figured I'd make arrangements to buy minerals from YOU! Thats right, no more hoping there is a decent price or waiting to sell your minerals for what they are really worth. I'll give you a fair price since I'd rather help fellow boxers than screw everyone else

    This is just the first iteration on an idea, so if you would like to be more involved in industry or had something else in mind, just reply and we can figure it out.

    You can stay in your own corp, I'd buy all the minerals via contract at a system not too far away from where I live. I'm currently three jumps from Jita in a 0.6 system with 22 belts. It's not too busy, and when I was out mining I never saw another person. While I'd prefer to pick up minerals in this system, I have a freighter and would be willing to make pickups (for a small fee ) if all the minerals are in just a single system. But this can all be figured out.

    I need your minerals!

    P.S. I can make Orcas from minerals

    What minerals you after? I just started level 2s and basically, my MO has been do missions until one pops with a bunch of rocks in it, then I drag the team over and gather. Mostly what I end up with is Tritanium, Pyrite and a bit of mexallon after processing, with the rare higher-level minerals from salvage mostly. I only have a Badger2 at the moment, so running things to another system might be painful.

    Honestly, I need Trit the most; but I'll buy anything. And if you can get it all in one system, I can come get it, I just don't want to have to dock at 6 or 7 stations in a system. Freighters are the slows ships in the game, I wanna set a course, dock once, and then come home

    Now you can send me contracts of any amount and I'll accept them, I might not pick them up for a week, but you'd already be paid. Just keep putting them in the same station.

    Also depends on how far from Jita you are. I'm only 3 jumps from Jita, so it makes a good landmark.

    Oh yeah, I'm pretty neat about my mining ops. I tend to not mine until I have a big patch to do, and then stack it all up at the best station in the sector for mass refining. If your refining skills are better than mine (wouldn't take much lol) then I can just leave it in raw veldspar/etc. form and let you refine it. Just lemme know who to send in-game mails to and we can discuss logistics in a more secure format.

    Funny enough I was actually getting ready to renew my 3 accounts today, I have two hulks and a pilot that has the skills for an orca, just waiting for another 100mil isk to buy it. I have two ravens I was thinking about starting to run missions in, but I would rather mine for a bit while getting back into the game. I stay pretty close to Jita as well, so just let me know what system you want the minerals in. I wouldn't mind mining in .6 or even joining a corp, I honestly don't even know if I'm in one at the moment. Just send me a message or whatever and let me know.

    Would be interested in this too, but i'm not ready to start mining properly for another month or so. At which point i'll be able to field 7 Hulks and an Orca, funds permitting

    Well, after today's mining session, I'm thinking I may have to do less of that. Spent 5 hours at a mission pocket mining and only ended up with about 15 million worth of minerals and a splitting headache. Ospreys can do the job but having to micromanage every. single. cycle. is like a root canal. Here's hoping it gets better when they finish training retrievers in a couple weeks.

    Barges are a huge quality of life increase Ugh.. which is what makes the yield increasing mind link kind of disappointing (cause it shortens your cycle).

    Hold on!

    What kind of price you thinking for trit Souca? I just sold like 70m trit but didnt get a great price cause I didnt feel like moving it...
    Currently running 10 miners in Eve Online.

    I'm paying about 2.62 for Trit right now, but I'm flexible if you have a metric shit ton or something. I try to keep on top of the prices in the system I live in, but I can adjust as long as you aren't expecting premium Jita prices. Really like anything that fills my freighter, i.e. 80M or so.

    I plan on putting together a price sheet this weekend so people can tell me if I'm being reasonable or just smoking crack. I'd rather pay a little extra for a steady supply that undercut the market orders from other systems.
