Hi,
Dont knwo if this is just me and i can only see 1 or 2 threads on this but...
I cant find anything to trade ! i checked the ENTIRE forge region and every single item had a lower sell price than its buy price, but because of the way the markets work you can put out a "Buy Order" for something at less than the stated current best price because it never shows up and you never buy antyhing from anyone.. the best you can do is match the price but that is a little silly !! :)
So i then tried doing inter-region stuff.. now this time i found a few routes to make.. so off i go in my little Bantam with ym Alpha Cargo Mod i stole from a pirate :) with a load off stuff to sell to make 2 isk per item (it was the ONLY thingy going !!) so i make like 10,000 isk after a 40 minute run of about 12 jumps !!! damn !!! :( i mean i can make more money in one mining trip and with 2 basic lasers it takes 6 mins round trip from the station !!!
so my question would be...
Realizing that if you have a larger cargo capacity then tading could be very profitable but with a small capacity it isnt worth doing (on a profit per minute basis) campared to mining stuff. but yet you cant buy a large enough ship for less than 750K isk so then you you are stuck in a bit of visous circle right? cant earn loads of money untill you have a big ship but u cant buy a big ship until you have loads of money !! :)
anyone got any ideas? i am about to buy a Badger MK2 and have 300K left in my bank account (waiting for skill !!!) so anyone got any suggestions??
or do i have to mine for 12 months !? lol

Thanks for the reply, but i tried that, there realy isnt much you can trade for any decent amount of money that i cant seem to make just mining (during the same time period anyways).
I suppose i shoudl realy ask if anyone has any ideas of what the best things to trade are, how much to trade and how/where to trade it. What should i be looking for??

to everyone thankyou for the advise...
i actually now have a Badger MK2 that i got for a VERY good price, i also have an Alpha Cargo Mod (21.5%) and some other bits too.
I have found a few routes now that i hvae a large ship, the key is quantity i think. the downside is that you need the money to fill your cargo hold first and robots @700isk a go and 4300 cargo space it gets a little pricey !! :)
the returns at 10% are still VERY good for the sake of a 15minute run of jumps ! :)
thanks again.
