My corporation is currently manufacturing large ammunition lots (150,000+ units). We don't want to play the .01 ISK game, so we've stayed away from the major trading hubs. We mine all our own minerals, so there is no cost to us other than the price of the ships (which has already been covered). Just wondering or looking for suggestions as to how i might move entire or maybe half lots at once. Is our best bet discounted contracts for buying entire lots, selling through the Selling Forum, or are we best off just selling to the market and playing the undercutting game(this is the least attractive option as far as the work involved and hassle).
Thank all of you ahead of time for your responses.

I would be interested in contracting with you sir.
Mail me with location of pick-up, pricing, and frequency you can deliver.
I can't promise anything right now, but if you supply me the information above, I can get back to you by Monday (taking a weekend off) with any forthcoming contract offer.
Regards,
Durin

As has been said ad nauseum, the ore you mine is *not* free. If you can make more money selling the minerals, why would you bother making it into ammo and lose potential profit in the form of added expense? Keep that in mind.

^^What he said about the minerals, look up opportunity cost. If you are interested in moving the ammo all at once I would suggest the "Bulk Trade" mailing list as a place to start. Be aware that people will expect it to be priced as bulk though, generally somewhere between Jita buy and sell orders.

Edited by: Argoist Zxim on 04/03/2011 19:22:10 Sorry, should have mentioned this before: We do make more ISK off of most of our ammos than the minerals unless we are prepared to make 25+ jumps (Which for us is not practical at the moment).
We also have no problem selling, just looking to move more of it at once, so I don't appreciate the flame, Rasz.

I would like to make an offer of 1 (one) isk per 1,000,000 (one million) unit of each ammo type you are selling. Since you are getting the minerals for free it should be pure profit for you. If this seams like a bad seal I suggest you reevaluate the value of your minerals.

How many units are you looking to move. You mentioned moving in bulk, but how bulk? .5M units? 2M units? per day? per month?
I mean, depending on your capabilities there is demand out there.
If you're just looking for a hauler, Red Frog or Universal Railways.
If you're looking for a buyer, Sell Forum, Bulk Trade Channel, or MD asking for long-term clients.
Again, I would be interested in a long-term contract with you if your corp can provide a large, steady supply of large ammo for a reasonable price. Also assumes that your location is not a pain in my butt to go get the ammo. Email me in game if you're interested in doing business.
