Has Inara.cz been accurate on painite best sell locations lately?

[caaront]

I took a break after my last 2 adventures saw me receiving about 60k less than the very current best sell locations and prices, resulting in getting about 40 million less than I could have had had the market prices been accurate.

Up until then they had been spot on.

I am talking about 10 and 15 minute at the most after updating.

Both times were at one station, is it possible the one station was glitched?

Before those 2 times I had sold at the advertised prices about 25 times.

No. But I messed up. The highest sell for Painite is incorrect. That info is 22 days old. The info that is 1 hour old is 97K off. So use the 2nd row for highest Painite sell. I'm there now and it's around 705K.

Thank you.

I just sold 192 units so the price probably went down a bit. Not sure how many units it takes to affect the price.

But I'm done so enjoy. I'm going back to my void opals spot. More lucrative in less time.

I have noticed many stations listed have a quantity of 1, 25, 1000, does that mean we can only sell 1,254, or 1000 units there at one time?

No limit on selling for Painite. Just don't flood the market at one station or the price goes down.

No limit for selling anything. Only limits I'm aware of is for buying rare's. Which now seems stupid b/c mining makes more than selling rare's ever did. They should remove the limit.

Not sure about inara. In theory they all use the same database.

However, last night i compared http://edtools.ddns.net/miner with eddb.io and the edtools tool showed the best prices while eddb.io didn't.

I was short changed 27k per unit when I sold, but when I checked the commodities they had shifted again while I was enroute to the station which was tyhre 2nd best when I checked after filling my hold, lol. I checked Inara, and it was 10k off on the best sell list for that station, but, when I clicked on the station, and checked the commodities there, it was spot on. So from now on I will check the best sell prices and locaztions, but also then click the astation and commodities again there to make sure.

Okay, I have never seen it off this much.

After mining a full load I looked at inara to get the most up to date info, and there was a station 6 hops away listed at 789k/unit, updated 14 minutes before I checked, I went to the station info and it showed painite selling at 789k.

I got there in about 6-7 minutes and it sold for 777k/unit. So instead of 400+ million I got 394 million, but, I had filled up my refiary, so had 10 more units I was able to sell the second time I clicked on it.

Well everyone is doing Double Painite these days, and we're all using the same tools, which get data from a tiny subset of players who actually bothered to install EDMC, which means we're all going pretty much to the same 3-4 places to sell. No wonder the prices are so volatile.

One piece of advice, though: if you can, mine on a wing and sell concurrently at the same station, making sure everyone is at the station's instancy during the sale. The 5% Wing trading bonus of a 400 Mil sale makes for a pretty nifty extra (specially if it's a full wing)

For anything else than Painite mining, wing mining just doubles your effort and time for 5% increase so not worth it at all.

How exactly? And it's not 5% in a full wing, it'd be 15% assuming the exact same setup for everyone (and full cargo holds, of course).

Please note that this is a thread about Painite Mining and that it is mentioned that my advice was related to large profit sales.

A full wing, as mentioned by another poster, with 400 million worth of cargo each, every single member of the wing would get 20 extra million from each of his three wingmates, to a total of 60.

But for all types of mining, even low profit, mining on a wing has other clear advantages over doing it individually. Namely, because the contents of an asteroid are not shared amongst players, wings can prospect in group, finding high yields faster.

While I see your point... If they removed the limit on rares, they wouldn't be rare anymore. They should up the value of rares trading a bit to make it more profitable if you ask me.

I have been averaging a little less than advertised, but here is the funny part, it was always spot on for me through about 7 billion dollars worth of trips, until they announced the fleet carriers coming in December, lol, I guess it got serious then, with more folks deciding to mine more often.
