Hi all,
I restarted playing EVE after a 2 year break. So my knowledge is often out-of-date ;) So bear with me here...
Back in the days I used to make some money with Trade Runs in my Badger. I used to export the prices of the trade goods and search for some good opportunities with EVE Trader. I remember I was able to make some solid money with that system (not much though, I think around 1-3 Mio). The good thing was, that I was able to do it without the need of a lot of attention, so it was perfect while being at the office or watching a movie. I knew I couldn't get rich, but I was able to get some basic income.
Now, after returning, I can't find a route giving more than 700 - 800k ISK. And that often includes a lot of jumps. Is the market that balanced these days (proabably through other traders)? Or is it just the Region I'm in (Tash-Murkon)?

Any system anywhere in all of Caldari space can safely be assumed to have at least 17 alt traders for every 20 actual players in it. So there's part of the answer :p
The second part being - yes, trade routes just aren't that viable any longer. ----------------

Ok, I can live with that. I just wondered if I'm doing something wrong ;)

Yeah, just go afk in a Badger. Just make sure that you don't have more then 10m in cargo. Otherwise: boom

NPC trade goods got a major nerf in August 2006 I believe it was. Since then, instead of prices reseting daily to optimal, they can now take months to recover. If people sell even a small amount of the item they got as loot before the price rises it may never get there.

try running faction ammo around, i used to make millions off that. caldari navy stuff basically only gets sold in jita, everywhere else the prices are ridiculous.
the guys in amamake/rancer would love some faction/t2 ammo and cap boosters too, even if you put a fairly ridiculous markup.
just takes a little more imagination these days

They're more likely to shoot you, loot you then blow up your corpmates with that load of CN Antimatter you were gonna sell 'em.
