As an interregional reseller, I have nice turnovers to compensate losses and have fun while helping others in their various ventures. It's low risk and somewhat time intensive. But it gives a great feeling when you log in and suddenly see several chars with billions on the accounts after a Christmas break.

Whats spread we talking here? I notice few times that markets kinda balance out on inter-regional fairly fast, idk maybe just me but I consider myself a skeptic when it comes to regional trade :P.
Spreads are 20% to 60%; depends on the region, wars, active competition, local production, etc. Also, as I told before in the Blueprint thread by CCP Greyscale; If you have enough leverage in a market and you know the 'time to market' for product volume in your portfolio, you can hedge your risks nicely in buy orders. When working the markets this way, you can minimize the risk over time and now and then amplify upward waves* that occur in products within your portfolio. When markets bounce back to normal, just let all listings in outer regions time out to create a new shortage. Stock up the leftovers for a future cycle.
*Upward waves can be promoted 2 ways; - burn down buy order prices with stocks before you set up your hedge buys. The burning of buy orders can be done with stocks from previous hedges that were made back long ago. - buyout complete regions of sell orders and/or hubs to relist all items on the future break point of the wave. In the graphs that VV showed in several forum threads, it is very obvious for products where they will occur.
