Last few days I was very busy with RL events (wife giving birth to an amazing baby boy), and a relatively large amount of ISK (5 bil) piled up in my wallet, and I wanted to see what would be the fastest way to make some profit.
I started browsing the market to find items that move in large volumes, and have relatively decent profit margins, and to my great surprise, the best candidate was PLEX.
The trading session was completely different from what I do usually.
I set up a purchase order, knowing that i will be undercut almost instantly, and set it for the whole region. EVE was reduced to a window from full screen, i started an episode of ST:Voyager, and started updating the purchase order every few minutes.
The purchase order was for 15 PLEX (margin trading V ftw), set for the region with 1 day duration. To my great amazement, a few minutes after setting the order PLEX started piling up in my home station. Every single PLEX that came in was re-listed on the market - standard station trading.
Buy orders were updated on average every 5 minutes, and the sell orders were updated on average every 10 minutes. During one hour of intensive trading, I managed to move over 25 PLEX, which netted me somewhere around 750mil isk profit (approx 30mil isk profit per PLEX).
In the end I saved 5 plex to fuel my accounts next month, and one of them came for free :)
Perhaps in the future I will set myself time for weekly PLEX trading sessions. It seems to work quite well :)
One thing that was amazing is that out of 25 PLEX purchased on a region wide order, only two weren't in my home base, and both were in very decent accessible high sec systems where I can easily send alts to pick it up.
