Well see the problem is I can earn a lot more by doing another agent mission than by moving the stuff and I refuse to give it away (by selling at 1 isk) so it gets trashed to avoid my assets tab becoming too confusing. If there happens to be a decent offer on the quick sell then I sell.
I have found in my limited experince with EVE (about 4 months or so) that once you get past that horrible stage (where even the cost of a single small carbonised lead round is important) that I don't really need that much isk.
For me personally it goes like this...
Can I buy another intercepter if I break this one.... Yes
Can I keep myself in ammo and missiles..... Yes
So should I spend all night trying to make a few isk from what's lying around in my hanger of go shoot something else?
hmmmm, prepare the claw for takeoff......
PL
PS - That is not to disrespect those that do play the market and produce stuff. All I'm trying to say is that, given current game mechanics, I can't see a player driven market actually working.

Have you tried putting them on sale yourself at a lowish price (>1 isk < 75% NPC sale)? That way you at least get something for it if someone sees what you have on offer.

To be honest no I don't but then my agents tend to be a long way from highway systems so someone would probably have to be pretty dedicated to come out and get em. Might just do that in future and then trash em if they drop back into my assets tab after 3 months. |
