This should be incorporated into some kind of a guide.

Good job!

Yes, it’s a trade off, more margin or volume .

Thanks for the kind words !

Some excellent observations made. Thanks. I like how you identify the market fronts, i.e., trade, mission & ‘off-markets’.

So far I’ve made most my money off “trade”, and only selling in in three different regions. I’m a bit surprised how well I’ve done given how competitive it is … but if you keep your eye open, and sell at the right time, it works.

However, my guess is the big money is to be made in the “off-markets”. For example, Interstellar Correspondents published an article about a month or two ago about some corp that runs a “bookstore” way off the beaten track, and is making billion dollar profits.

The further away from Empire, you lose the volume, but you make up for it in mark-up. People just don’t want to have to jump all the way into Empire to get their goods.

Location, location, location.

Better to be Market Square Heroes than to be stuck Three Boats Down From The Candy on a Cinderella Search, even if you have a Tux On.

Indeed, the Price History graph is your friend.

I’ve had a little more trouble identifying lowsec / nullsec hubs, but that’s something I’m actively working on right now.

Yes you can, the above screen shot shows that. You can check the market data, and you get the graph. If you select price history, you get the above data.

I just wish you could tell how many units are sold to market and bought from market, or would that make it too easy

In addition, once you develop a little bit of capital you can work on your own “Store” by delivering a combination of useful modules. Say for instance you are setting up your sale orders for Warp Disrupter II’s at a highsec-lowsec entry point. Why not sell a couple of Taranis as well? Why not put some Small Neutron Blasters, 1mn MWD/AB, and speed/armour tanking mods in the same station? Once someone buys a ship they will want to fit it out, and usually the less moving about they have to do the better!
