I bought a crokite bpo for 10b, produced it for a month, threw some money at the market, put it as collateral on a loan for 20b, price fixed the market to 1.8/u for a few months, rebought it and proceeded to auction it for 70b. Price crashed the next day, told him not to sell, it'd rebound. He didn't believe, panic sale, left the game, oh hey it has. Maybe not the best, but one of the more memorable, recently. |

Mineral Trading is how I made my initial small fortune which I used to start speculation.
But that was over 3 years ago, before the massive bot banning, and Insurance Scam nerf.
The Minerals poured in, and poured out like water. Not much competition. Had 4 alts sitting on Region Border Systems, trading minerals in 11 regions.
It's probably not nearly as lucrative nowadays. |

My first "best" trade was when I bought an officer shield module for 600m and flipped it the next day for 2b.
More recently I made a casual bid on a BPO half way through an auction, and was contacted a minute later by the owner who wanted to sell immediately. My eventual profit was 22b, more than twice of what I'd paid for it.
Glad you didn't ask about the worst trade :) Happiness is a warm gun, mama. |

Just before Apocrypha came out, I was a relatively new trader with limited funds. One day I noticed that the price of large cargo rigs was falling. This was an item I traded in frequently. The next day it was even lower, so I bought heavily around 12m per unit, till I ran out of assets that I could liquefy.
The price continued to fall to 6m per unit, and stabilized around 7. A few days later I learned about Apocrypha and the introduction of medium and small rigs, and realized how important it is for traders to keep up to date.
I continued blindly on my original plan of selling them for 16m per unit, and distributed the rigs all over New Eden at that price. They took a while to sell, and badly dented my plans for trade domination :)
Edit: Thanks to this, I spent a couple of months lost in w-space (while the rigs sold), at a time when there was hardly anyone around, and talking on local brought you help :) Happiness is a warm gun, mama. |

Accidentally having a Geddon sell for 4b in Jita was nice. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

When the GMs get those types of petitions it must take all their willpower to remain professional and not to respond with "LOL harden up princess". Are you an Industrialist who uses large amounts of Construction Components? Looking for ways to reduce costs? Then I can help you! |

Once upon a time, things like Robotics and Enriched Uranium were npc market items and very cheap.
For those of us who saw the light coming down the tunnel with "Planetary Interaction", you can well imagine the results.
Good times.

My best trade was in my 2nd month of EVE when I bought a Fed Navy Omnidirectional tracking link for ~60M in Dodixie, couriered it in my brand new Atron to Jita, sold it for 100+ million, and rinsed and repeated until I had 300M in my wallet total. That was probably the most I ever made so far - these days, on a good day, I'm lucky to make ~25M a day trading, with 300M ISK to spare for investment. |

I sold a few capital component BPC's as BPO's before the contract overhaul, which was nice, and pretty funny at the same time.
Once I sold a 600,000 item (or something like that), for 600 million by contract scamming in Jita. I had never done it before, and I just wanted to try it, and see if these scams actually succeed.
So I set up a contract and started spamming, within 1 minute, my contract flashed, someone took the bait. Then immediately after, he tried to convo me. I clicked "Deny", which I regret because I should have clicked "Accept" and had some fun.
After that beginner's luck, I tried it again for 20 more minutes but no luck. So I never did it again. |

scamming != trading.
Also I make 70b per second but of course I would not reveal my methods. |
