It sounds like you bought them from someone during a firesale (selling stuff dirt cheap to get some quick isk). I've never seen a HAC at that price, thats like a half/third of its value.

I suppose that could've been it, though it's curious how I consistently saw prices like that in the Citadel for a while.

Joined TTLGKRU chat channel, btw. If it comes along with a corp I'd be glad to join.

kru was/is more of an extension of the #kru IRC channel where we chat and play games together (lately its been more chat and not so much games). We talked about forming a corporation but only handful of ttlgers ever played and most of those were in corps already.

I still dream of the mighty SCRTM dominating New Eden, but alas, it will never be :(

To give you an idea of how much I like EVE, I wrote an application in C# that downloads my market transaction logs and imports the data into SQL Server.

I can then write SQL queries to look at my turnover for various market segments, find top selling items, work out profit and loss for items I just resale, determine what isn't worth trading in etc.

Currently thinking of implementing some (http://blogs.msdn.com/delay/archive/2009/06/25/wpf-charting-it-s-official-june-2009-release-of-the-wpf-toolkit-is-now-available.aspx) WPF based charting of the data, too :)

That gives an idea that you have no life.

I can see why you might think that, but the reality is I have precious little spare time as it is.

As a programmer by trade with all the tools already at my disposal, it's something I easily knocked up in a couple of lunch hours.

If you think Ulukai is over the top, there are people running banks in eve online. Yes, banks which make money with your deposits and pay interest:

I tried the 14-day-trial and I only tolerated four or five obscure days. I've been hearing that they made an MMO that doesn't get in the way of work, but I don't get why we now need games we'll be playing during work.

I don't know; I found it extremely boring. I gave up when I got blown up and I had to travel to lots of distant space stations to gather my equipment again. The average trip takes ten real-time minutes and learning skills requires entire hours or days and I just can't see the point in any of that.
