I'm in the process of training a no waste jump freighter pilot just to sell. She's got the +3 skill accelerator which cost me 240mil isk and +4's. total cost to me with imp's/books/accelerator/and the plex to finish the training is around 1 billion, but after all that she'll be able to fly gallente freighter, jump freighter, and the industrial mark 5 (which skilled and fitted can haul 40k m3 at industrial speeds...) and she'll have spaceship command 5 with command ships started and several other ship related level 5's....

is the sell price worth the investment in time and isk?

Not sure what a jump freighter pilot is going for. Try checking eveo forums/ask for a pricecheck
Once your done training you can use: http://gemblog.nl/skill/
To check your skills/value. I would use the rule 500+- The number you get.

Also, don't forget plex's it will cost to buy your game time to just train the char. And then do not forget the 2 Plex it will cost you to transfer the char (unless your paying cash for both).

As characters go, a pure jump freighter pilot is pretty useful and will sell above sp value.

Other characters that sell for over sp value are Pure t3 leadership/Pure Carrier/Supercarrier/Titan Pilot. If your interested in making a longterm investment, a 15mil leadership character will sell for a nice chunk of change, no combat skills required, just a t3 which is very easy to get into, and full leadership. I made two of these a year ago when i wanted to make one for myself. And i turned and sold a Pure tengu pilot with max siege and skirmish leadership skills, and warefare link spec 5 for command processors. I sold it for 6bil, which is way above sp value.

i allready have her planned out and the plex/skill books for the full training. with +4 implants and all the other crap I'd need my price comes to about 900 million invested. thats not including transfer fees.... but like i said, the jump freighter is the main part of the skill build but to get there also lets her pilot an obelisk and an iteron mark v which are both pretty usefull for high sec freighting... I was just wondering if the market was usually good for this type of pilot. She will have no wasted sp at all, and core certified to standard.

Yes, there is a market for it, some people would rather pay a little more for one of these to have it on a alt account inactive, or to train even further into carrier for utility/repping/w/e

Spend a couple days looking through character bazaar, you'll get a good grasp of character prices.

So would people count Tengu pilot with Caldari Strategic Cruiser lvl 4 and all Subsystems lvl 4 with Fleet Command lvl 4 and Warfare Link Spec, Skirmish Warfare Spec, Siege Warfare Spec, Information Warfare Spec and Armored Warfare Spec lvl 5 as pure and I could get 6bil or do I really need Mining Director, Fleet Command and/or Subsystem skills at lvl 5 too?

Sub systems to 5 or it's still pretty worthless.
