Edited by: Otho Ora on 16/02/2011 00:32:29 Well, I've been in Eve for a little bit now. Explored some avenues of making ISK, some I liked more than others. I've found out a lot about the game. But one that I've wanted to try but have never really gotten around to is Trading. Well, I know I'm a noob, but I am willing to give it a shot. So I have a few questions.
What do I need to get a start in trading? What should I work for? Skill wise and money wise.
Do you have any tips that you may have when finding routes or whatnot?
Any advice for a noob?
How did you get your start?
Thanks for all your help in advance

well one of the big thing is to do your own research, yea sure this might be a "coming out" sort of thread but looking at the front page i can see 2 maybe 3 threads with direct info that you'll want to check up on. thats much better then just having more answers while there are already existing ones.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted this. I kinda looked around through everything, read through some of the posts/guides out there in the stickies, and skimmed through the others.
My questions still stand at least, more or less the Tips of the trade ones that normally some people would think was second nature but to a new player like myself aren't. And generally one can learn a suprising amount reading about someone's beginings into something.

I started trade with an Industrial buying Quafe, hauling it, and selling it for about 10 ISK more per unit. Quafe only takes 0.1 m3 so that means 100 ISK profit per m3 of cargo room.

Tip #1 Avoid Jita
Train accounting 5 & broker relations 5 asap. also work on standings for the NPC corp you plan on trading at. e.g. Hek, boundless creation for e.g. these will reduce NPC related costs when making sell/buy orders.
Margin trading is also a very good one, it reduces the amount of capitol you have in escrow for buy orders. meaning you can use more isk for other items/buy orders.
The QEN, shows a list of whats the most popular etc, this should be used as a rough guide asto what will sell & what wont.
Also if your trading in minmatar space for e.g. expect things like laser turrets & heat sinks to have a slower volume than in amarr.
Other than this, basically place buy orders low & then re-sell piece by piece aat. try to have 2-3 sell orders of the same product, this negates the 5min wait time when adjusting/"babysitting" orders. i only have the 2-3 when im actively babysitting.
The QEN is a very underrated document, im unsure how many actually analyze it as much as i do hehe.
If you have the time, you can make alot just flipping items low to high,
You can look into manufacture & sell a product line.
best of luck with trading!

In my experience your yield as a station trader is directly connected to your stiff-neckedness, maybe even stubborness regarding keeping your buy and sell orders on top. If competition thinks you are a bot, a lot of them stop competing with you and out of a sudden your orders don't need that frequent updates anymore.

I still do a little quafe trading. But I sell it for a little more than 10 more isk per unit.
