This is by far one of the best advice i have read in this thread and should be read by many as most MD Elitists wont share there market wisdom until it is too late for you to make any iskes from it.
Mind, I totally agree with you except for in the area I have marked in bold. Additionally, I can only speak for my own motivations on this but I think you are granting "MD Elitists" more credit, and less credit, then they deserve. Firstly, "MD elites" do not often work as a group in any fashion. What most people infer from the interaction is a more nefarious " unseen hand" then what actually tends to occur. Secondly, as many elites miss out on market opportunities as those that leverage them. By its very nature it is the opportunities that dictate the window in which to capitalize. Veterans of the market can almost instinctively pick up on changes. There is no "elites" only information network. Now to the idea about sharing of the information & advice: - One common thing that can be said about all those who visit here, with earnestness, is that we all agree: Isk is power. If that is an agreed upon community axiom then it goes without saying, sharing power to just anyone is the height of idiocy.
- The giving of advice is a burden upon the giver.
Honest brokers feel a sincere obligation to anyone who follows their advice. The list of things that can go wrong with such advice is numerous. Far better to teach people how to read the market and learn to decide for themselves then it is to give any direct advice.
Originally I was going to break down the points into smaller ancillary points with finer shadings. Hopefully my choice to just shorten the whole matter is more effective for its brevity.

Just wondering about this, someone did explain it to me once a long time ago, but I am not sure I can remember the details as to why it happens ..
Lets say I have an item listed in a system for sale @ 1.5m each
Why then do people pay me more than that for the item? Usually the same amount as the highest sell order in system?
Twice today I have received 2.1m for something that's listed, by me, for 1.2m. Its not a bug so what causes it?

This and other common questions are answered briefly in the Market Discussions FAQ on the EVElopedia.
Originally by: Market Discussions FAQ
Why do people sometimes pay more than my asking price when I was asking the lowest price?
Recall that the best order is always matched first. They might have right-clicked the second-best (or some other) order, but the transaction processing system matched their bid to your order.
[Emphasis added.]
Further explanation
As a convenience, when the buyer right-clicks an ask in the Market window and chooses "Buy This", the dialog box for the creation of his or her own bid is pre-populated with the item type, location and price of the order clicked. (To change the location or price for their bid, the person would need to expand the "Buy" dialog box to the "Advanced" dialog box by clicking the appropriate button on the default "Simple" buy dialog box.)
If the person right-clicked an order with a non-minimum price and then submits his or her bid at that higher price, he or she is expressly choosing to offer extra ISK beyond what is demanded by the minimum ask. The notional "Broker" then executes the trade as submitted, rather than proactively saving the buyer ISK by adjusting the bid to match available orders. (The implemented order-matching mechanism is an element of market policy determined by CCP.)
Sometimes people will do this on purpose, e.g., someone might use the Advanced dialog box to enter an "Immediate" duration bid (using this duration avoids Market Order Broker Fees) for many units of an item at a higher-than minimum price to scoop up all the units that are spread across a score of smaller-volume asks, rather than clicking on each ask individually. This costs the buyer some extra ISK but saves some time.

A quick glance at the market gives you a good starting point.
- Open the market.
- Go through a dozen or so items commonly used, like Rifter, Drake, Damage Control II, Large Shield Extender II, Ogre II ... you get it. Adjust the list to the type of goods you'd like to sell (minerals, cap production parts, <your trading field>)
- Take note of the system(s)/station(s) where most (both number of orders and volume) of them are sold.
- Pick the station that seems to be the best for your trading wishes.

Okay, new question.
1. Is there some way you can improve the speed of loading orders in the market window and computing averages in the price window? Some folks are giving me numbers like 30minutes to update a tycoon V worth of orders, but my experience in jita requires me to wait some 10~20 seconds to have everything loaded more often than not. Is this a bandwidth problem, client problem or server problem?
2. What do you do when evemon is clogged up with more than a quadrillion orders or something? Is there a way to clear the history (okay, maybe i should ask in Battleclinic, but i figure folks of MD probably face this issue a lot) and make it run faster?

You might want to try a dedicated trader tool like EMMA, EVE Trader, EVE Meep, (bias alert:) EVEWalletAware etc. The Market Resources wiki lists some apps along with the link to their web site or EO forum thread.

Is there a way to see the demand in a single solar syste or station that is in the same region as you are. For example i am traveling from Arant to Vale( Both in same region) and i want to check what is in demand in Vale but i dont wanna waste time browsing through all products from which some are not in demand on Vale.
Thank you

Hey, I'm curious about what industrial to train for, on the way to getting into perhaps a freighter at some point. I also wonder if the gallente freighter undocks more easily than the other races due to its vertical size. :)

Can't really go wrong with Gal industrial - by far and away the best T1 indy when levelled to skill V and a spacious well rounded freighter. If you're only interested in training a T1 indy to skill IV then the Min Mammoth is your best bet; Min also have a very handy blockade runner for wormholes (2 high slots), but the smallest freighter (albeit the most "nimble") if you were to take Min indy to level V. Truth be told there's not a whole lot of difference in the freighters, but the T1 level V gal indy is good enough to sway the choice in many cases to gallente.
Really not sure if any dock easier or not - though my observations are it makes naff all difference. Amarr make the prettiest freighter tho :o)

It's usually worth it to train to Amarr Industrial I to get the Bestower, truely the best bang for the SP required. From there you can train other races (Minmatar and Gallente are good), but if you are taking the path to Freighter, it doesn't really matter what the best bang for your SP is, because you are committed to taking Industrial to level V anyway.
Comparison (remember, all get 5% increase in cargo and velocity per level)
Unskilled:
Frenir:
Max Velocity
80 m/sec
Mass
820,000,000 kg
Capacity
720,000 m3
Obelisk:
Max Velocity
65 m/sec
Mass
940,000,000 kg
Capacity
750,000 m3
Providence (soooo pretty)
Max Velocity
70 m/sec
Mass
900,000,000 kg
Capacity
735,000 m3
Charon:
Max Velocity
60 m/sec
Mass
960,000,000 kg
Capacity
785,000 m3
So, if you are not planning on having others web you to instawarp, then the Fenrir is your best bet; it's much smaller mass makes it more agile.

Firstly, awesome answers and thanks! And I agree, the providence is beautiful -- could be the determining factor in choosing ships when the difference in performance is so small. Sorry about my response here, not trying to be a know-it-all but... well there aren't many people you can discuss these things with so... :)
The suicide formula could have included the mod drop rate of the suiciding ships, if you have time to scoop that up (% based for how often it gets looted before you can get to it or whatever).
Also, I think you might be able to exceed the profitability line a little because it would be hard for people to justify killing you for like 1 ISK if you went 1 isk over.
Doing a little self-trading-hauling between bordering regions, I've decided that there isn't actually much isk to be gained by doing so. Finding a route that will make 1m/trip is actually pretty hard and the time just isn't worth it. It's entirely possible that I'm "doing it wrong", so any comments here are appreciated (how to find a route). Currently I'm just going off eve-central, uploading market data and looking for trades region to region or intra-region. I find also that it's very hard to determine what trades involve me going into low sec.
Just curious - I figure that the most popular races for suicide gankers = amarr and minmatar but I'm not sure. Any comments on that?
Further, I'm looking for some indy software that will let me calculate the reprocess values of different items in the game so that I can trade better. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

I suspect that this question may be acceptable in its own thread but I figured I would ask here first.
I am looking for systems with a high trade volume but are not in the top 10 most populated systems. In other words, what systems are market hubs that aren't listed here:
1 Jita
2 Rens
3 Amarr
4 Dodixie
5 Oursulaert
6 Motsu
7 Arnon
8 Hek
9 Akiainavas
10 Penirgman

Secondary mission hubs like Lustrevik. Entry (or near-entry) systems to 0.0 like Esescama or Orvolle.
But of course "high trade volume" is a relativ term. Compared to all four major hubs, the volumes aren't really high. Compared to some low sec dead end out in the void, on the other hand ...

Hello Hello. Just a quick question. I feel like it isn't worth making a new thread for, so I'll just put it here.
Here it is: What is a good calculation for what price I should sell a blueprint copy at once I manufacture it? I have a few BPOs and I've researched some ME into a few of them and would like to start copying away and selling. I'm relatively new to eve and looking to start this business venture, but am not sure what prices I should be selling BPCs at once I make them and trying to figure if it would be better to make the BPCs or just use the BPOs to make ships and sell them.
Thanks in advance.

Another question...
I've heard that people at the top end of the trade money-makers are either using or manipulating markets that are contract only (like faction ships). Is there some strategy or does it just take a crapload of capital and some manipulation to make the ISK in these markets?

So I've wanted to mess about with the market for a while. Been buying goods from a mission hub and selling stuff there as well... I got the hang of testing the waters but I'm only making roughly 1-2m profit a day so I'm wondering what else I need to do to be able to make much more than this. I've got almost 100m just sitting in my wallet that I'm unsure of how to use to make more isk. Suggestions?

Seems like it's time to expand to other places. Look at the hubs prices. Their sell orders might not be as high as some of the mission hubs, but what you lose in margins you make up for in volume. Also, you can try branching out into different regions as well.

I actually am avoiding trade hubs cause of the 0.01 isk wars. I'll check out moving the goods out to other mission areas, anything else I could try doing as well?

Typically you can find higher buy prices than your buy prices at hubs, or you can ship your items to hubs and list them right in the middle of buy and sell orders to move them quickly at hubs, no 0.01 isking. This is more true of Sell than it is of buy orders at hubs.
You could set up more buy orders around other mission hubs. If you still aren't getting the volume you want, go ahead and find other items or move into another station.

Sorry to ask noob question but how do bonds and loans work? I have been reading this forum with interest but can not find out how these things work. Is it just a case of people asking for 123 ISK and then it is up to them to repay the interest and the original amount? Or is there some kind of in game mechanism to enable all this? Do you have to be in a player corp?

The very basic of investments is you give your money to a player offering equity or bonds. They work in slightly different ways.
Stock
Bond
One in-game mechanic for issuing return on investments is the dividend function, which can be used in the corporation window. To answer your question on having to be in a player corp, no you really don't. People pay out "manual dividends" by keeping track of who invested what amount then paying them out based on how much they've invested.
You can see many examples of bonds and several examples of stock in the forum. Also, check out the eve wiki on investing in EVE.
Remember, there are no secure bonds or IPOs (initial public offerings of stock), the people who run the investments can usually walk away with the entire investment at any time and pay out nothing, resulting in a total loss for you.

Could one reactivate the account 3 months later and reap in profits on long term orders? :)

Yes and yes. Done that a few times.
Unsubbed. Later re-subbed to fat wallet (and some filled/expired buy orders too).
Your long term success with this depends of course on whether the market stays stable,
falls or rises for a particular item and its volume movement.

Ironically, the Titans4U scam alert thread also list a couple of the successful past and current non-scamming business. Read from here. They're not all open for new investments now, though. But you might find some names to watch out for in the future.
