Hello everyone! This is somewhat like KMaxwell's thread about her top floor shop income. I thought I would make one for mine. It is a bottom floor spawnshop and this can help you get an idea of how much money you can make from one and also for myself to track profits.

Revenue more over, it doesn't cost me much to get the materials I sell. I like to say profit. At the end of each rental, I say subtract the 20k or however much I paid and get my total profit/loss.
But you cannot totally say "I mined the ore, so did not buy it, therefore it does not cost me anything.. " Since you still have time, tools, erep and such to get it, so it is not "free" but that is a far longer thread But the profit should be at a minimum : your price - server price, so for example iron bar is $7.50 server price, if u sell for $7.50 u do not make any money, and anything over that is profit, there are some issues with this formula, like if something is held high due to demand like quartz, or things like nstars and exp, which are driven by the "market" and u should be using the avg market price instead of server, ie EXP is bought around 1-1.2 / orb, so if u sell at 1.3 ( like you do ) then you are making between .3 - .1 / orb so $10 / 1k. But that gives you a more "honest" view of the shops viability. When I was running shop 96, once I used this method, it was sobering just how much money is profit versus revenue, unless you are very lucky and have a LOT of customers, it is tough. the new location shop26 ( shameless plug ) is slightly better, since I am able to have slightly higher margins ( diff between server and my prices ), but nothing like the margins of a top floor... Let me know if you need more on this, or if you disagree
I don't have time for that math . Also, from what I have seen, I have very low prices compared to others surprisingly
wait nvm. I take that back. I think it just shows you don't feel like spending lots of time reviewing your shop.
