Hello,
I was recently browsing around the E-O forums, and I decided that I want to get into trading, since it seems to be a better way to get isk than manufacturing. However, I still have a established manufacturing base, and it is in a region with no major trade hubs. How can I station trade in one of the minor trade hubs, such as esescama, since the volume is so much lower? |

Minor hubs are good places to buy materials and sell finished goods. Finished goods are 10-100% more expensive to purchase, and materials such as salvage are cheaper than in the major hubs (generally speaking/not true in all cases). You will not find much volume trying to play your buy/sell margins from just one minor system. Minor hub trading is mostly about pandering to the laziness of missioners. Oh and don't set up in Esescama it really sucks... ;) |

I tried trading in a small mission hub for a while but didn't like the pace. It's sloooow turnover, which is horrible when I want as much of my isk flowing as possible. Having a big chunk of isk tied up on the little station means that much less isk for pursuing the real action elsewhere. That said, if you actually want a longer-term set-and-forget or update once a week strategy, it could be just what you want. |

Smaller hubs will eventually turn over after a month or more, depending. I traded out of Orvolle for awhile, pretty decent sized hub but still, turnover would take a week or more. The plus side though, you can often sell at +50% going rate. Depending on your skills and the region, you could try station trading at three or four systems via the Procurment, Marketing, and Daytrading skills.
I'd recommend moving to a higher population hub, however, if you are still interested in manufacturing the low population region might serve you come summer time. Make a station trading alt perhaps? Get your manufactured goods shipped to her. All decent things you can do. |
