The market is not ENTIRELY player-driven. For example, blueprint originals are all sold by NPCs. There is no way for a player to "create" one of these items, one is forced to buy them.
A vast majority of the in-game economy is player-driven, but not every single part. |

Is there any site where I can check the source of a item listed on the market? Being noob I wanna make sure that I will not buy something that actually is sold by a npc and also wanna learn what's what .. for example why there are listed weird stuff like Slaves nor consumer electronics, bacterias etc :)
Well, for blueprints people often buy them and then research them, which takes time, and then sell them. Researched BPOs are more valuable.
I'm not sure if there's a source that tells you, but most of the time NPC seeded items will have multiple places across the region with the same number of items available at or near identical prices. For an example of this, look at something like Pax Amarria. |

Contracts issued by your corporation are just like normal contracts. You can set them as private to a certain individual, if you like.
Unless the mechanics have changed, you cannot put illegal items inside a courier contract. Once you accept the contract, you can open the plastic wrap just like a normal container and view its contents (although if you take anything you fail the contract--duh). |
