I'd like to thank those of you that create courier contracts. Recently the rewards have made it worth doing, and the collateral is covering the appropriate cost and "insurance for loss" of the item (instead of 900 bajillion isk) for collateral.
That said, keep up the good work. It's my bread and butter, and I like doing them.
For those of you who also like doing them, I was hoping for any advice! Thanks in advance.

Im glad to see that someone likes to do them, im not really that profit orientated myself and i always set the reward at a reasonable amount.

Again, I thank you.
I know there are others that enjoy the haul. Anyone who's got any insight as to how to work it to get the best amount of ISK would be appreciated.
I need additional idea's though to maximize my profit. Whether it's making deals on this forum, deals with corps of players that like to use the contract system, or whatever, all idea's are welcome. I'm not rich, and this is my niche.

Everything's so connected in the game, it's weird to say something like, "Thank you, Damage Control Unit II producer!" 
... but I still really like people that fill the public courier contracts, for some irrational reason.

My take has been that you should always have something in the hold. I never mastered that (which is one of the reasons I got out of the business almost entirely, the other being that hauling is a hard activity). But there is a profitable art to stuffing a hauler. If you're doing a lot of great business from location A to location B, then you can make even more by figuring some return business (say via location C).
There are two good historical examples of wealth through closed-loop hauling. These are the "triangle trade" strategies of the sailing ship era. There are two famous examples, the "American Rum->African Slaves->Caribbean Molasses->Rum" cycle and the "Indian opium->Chinese tea/silk->European silver->opium" cycle.

Where is the best website to get research into the main trading hubs, to check the price difference between the main ones (only)? That's something worth looking into & investing in, but, what would be a good resource to check on items on just the major hubs?
