Marketplace Profits Research - Station #16

For the next 31 days I will post my daily profits from my shop to better analyze what days of the week things are purchased, how much can be made, and if the 2.5 million ECD it took to secure this station will ever be earned back.

Partial Week Five - Total Earnings: $44119

Overall Total Earnings: $424403
5 Weeks Rent: $25000
Total Profit: $399403

 

Each week of rent is $5000. I have the $25000 for the first five weeks already pre-paid, though I will subtract that from my profits for the 31 days, as indicated at the bottom of my first post.

 

Oh. Well... I don't buy anything in the shop. It's all items for sale. I farm up just about all of the materials I have, or make them, or I trade with others for what I need. (The other shops I am affiliated with, for example, if I sell something they don't, I'll trade them what they sell that I don't, and we both win.)

 

Had a good sales day today. So far 46k in profits. Nearly 10 weeks of rent are paid for, which is amazing.

 

2nd week completed. Total earnings to date: $78321.

 

Total after 3 weeks $147838.

Not much longer left to go in this study. After the shop remodel, I will complete this same study for November to ensure consistent results.

 

I work graveyard shift, starting the evening of one day and ending the morning of the next. So, if I forgot to tally at midnight, and didn't notice until the following midnight, yes... that would be losing a day, in my own quirky way.

 

Fifth week completed. Total earnings to date: $202915
At this rate, should shop sales continue at this level, I will have it paid off in 12 months.
Here's to hoping I can reduce that slightly.

 

There is a remodel planned to take place Nov 1st. PM me in game if you would like to see the new design. Please note, Stolio will also be remodeling his shop as part of the overall new design.

 

Very poor sales day today. I wasn't online at all (spent the day in bed, so now I somehow feel worse). This proves what no advertising can do, even with as little trade advertising I do, despite having an awesome location.
