A look at trading in Eve

One of the various activities that I haven’t yet approached in Eve is trading. Seeing has how both characters are approaching their goals of having multiple R&D agents working for them, I am looking round for another goal. Trading might be suitable.

I suspect that I am like many people, I look through my hangar at the mess, shuffle it into containers and forget what is in what container. At the moment the containers are labelled, ‘Valuables’, ‘Recycle’, ‘Salvage’ and ‘Fittings’. When I am short money I go to the containers and starting at the top start selling to whoever is buying in Auvergne, Sinq Liason that day. I strongly suspect that this isn’t the path to riches, at least not for me, the guy buying the stuff off me probably carts it off to Jita and makes a nice mark-up.

So the next few blogs will be a brain dump on this subject. Any comments that anyone might have are welcome (Drifnir…)

Just because I have a nice screenshot I am tacking this onto the bottom – yes it is possible to fly through a hollow asteroid!

To get a handle on the market I am dividing I into the following categories.

1. Ammo & Drones
2. Ships
3. Tank modules
4. Gank modules
5. ECM and other specialised electronic stuff (hacking, archaeology, salvaging)
6. Implants
7. Manufacturing and invention

I will examine each of these areas in the following blogs keeping to 1 subject per page so I can update and correct areas as the trading experiment goes on.
