It has come to Drogo's attention that a number of players believe Drogo's profit shop is a rip off and that his claim of $200,000 profit per hour is bogus. Drogo can assure you that it is not. While $700 per inventory might very well be a fair bit more than other profit shops, Drogo is quoting a profit per hour and so the time is just as important a factor as price. Drogo's profit shop system, located at /visit Gekkity and /visit Nomadatron, puts you right in front of stocked chests automatically dropping you down to the next one as needed. There is no walking or searching through banks of chests to find stock to buy so each trip is very quick and takes roughly the same time. Looking at Drogo's logfiles from this morning he sees the following greenie, without fly purchasing from his shop (Thanks Lil_gabby980).

Analysing the turn around times we get the following. Code: Time Trip time 11:32:29 11:32:56 00:00:27 11:33:21 00:00:25 11:33:48 00:00:27 11:34:14 00:00:26 11:34:37 00:00:23 11:35:25 00:00:48 11:35:49 00:00:24 11:36:13 00:00:24 Ignoring the outlier of 48 seconds and taking the second best time, it is fair to say that the turn around time achievable at Drogo's profit shop is 24 seconds. Doing the maths yields the following. Code: Cost per trip $ 700.00 Income per trip $ 2,050.56 Profit per 24 second trip $ 1,350.56 Profit per second $ 56.27 Profit per minute $ 3,376.40 Profit per hour $ 202,584.00 So there it is. If you can average a 24 second turn around when using Drogo's profit shops, and anyone can, you can make $200,000 per hour. Across the two locations, /visit Gekkity and /visit Nomadatron, Drogo has 233 Double chest profit shops which if you bought and sold all of them, you would make $472, 020. Something that a few players often do. To make the same profit per hour at a shop selling at $400 per inventory, your average turn around time would need to be around 29.3 seconds. Some might think this thread belongs in the trade section but it's purpose is not to promote Drogo's profit shops but to validate his claims and ensure players that he is NOT ripping them off. In fact, while players are using Drogo’s profit shop, they make almost double from it than Drogo does.
