| I have played EVE Online since launch and just | | | | a lot of them. Ship them to the most attractive |
| recently reactivated my account after 6 months of | | | | system and start selling at a little below the highest |
| absence. | | | | price there. Be ready to monitor your orders and |
| I found myself strapped for isk and had to figure out | | | | undercut undercutters. |
| some ways of making a big load of it in a relative | | | | Isk will now start hitting you wallet... |
| quick pace. | | | | After you have done this for a while you can start |
| My goal is around 10B isk so I can afford owning a | | | | escalating your trading business. For example, get a |
| Dreadnought. Now, I know this is a pretty big figure | | | | freighter, buy tons of stuff, think big! |
| and it will probably take some time to reach. | | | | Lazy Market Play |
| So, with 5M isk to my name and no equipment (I | | | | Time investment: Very little |
| gave everything to my corp when I left Eve) here | | | | Recommended wallet size: At least 50M isk. |
| are some of the methods I used for gaining a bigger | | | | Risk: Medium |
| wallet. | | | | Reward: Medium |
| Market Play | | | | Description: |
| Time investment: The beginning phase requires a lot | | | | Get your behind to Jita, place a buy order for |
| of time. | | | | Morphite (ok profit margin) at one 1 isk above the |
| Recommended wallet size: At least 10M isk. | | | | highest order. Use as much isk as you can. Monitor |
| Risk: Little (if you play your cards right) | | | | your order and undercut undercutters. When you |
| Reward: Big | | | | have filled your order, place a sell order at 1 isk |
| Description: | | | | below the lowest order. Profit will now come your |
| Well then, let's do some trading of items. First of all, | | | | way. Lazy but works, watch out for market |
| we only use man made modules no NPC trade goods. | | | | fluctuations though. Don't stockpile! |
| First let's to the dirty work. Get a pen and some | | | | Sightseeing |
| papers, grab a shuttle and make sure you are ready | | | | Time investment: A lot |
| for one hell of a trip around the universe. | | | | Recommended wallet size: 0 |
| Set your autopilot to these destinations: Sobaseki, | | | | Risk: Medium to High |
| Jita, Amarr, Agil, Oursualert, Lustrevik, Hek. | | | | Reward: Low to medium |
| Turn that autopilot on and start writing down 10-15 | | | | Description: |
| module names on a paper. We need popular modules | | | | Basically, go hunt named rats in empire space. Boring |
| that sell at 1M+ per unit on average. For example, | | | | as hell if you ask me, but you can get some really |
| Gyrostablizer II, Large Armor Repairer II. | | | | nice modules if you are lucky. Also, bring a salvager! |
| Are we there yet? By reaching our first destination | | | | Shady Business |
| you should have a paper filled with modules. Open up | | | | Time investment: Very little |
| your market window and start checking the prices | | | | Recommended wallet size: 5M (you need this for |
| (and quantities) for each and everyone of them. | | | | contract fees) |
| Note them on your paper. Also check market | | | | Risk: Very high |
| fluctuations about that particular module, maybe | | | | Reward: Very high |
| someone else is already jacking up the price. When | | | | Description: |
| you have checked all modules, turn the autopilot on | | | | This method is shady and not very nice I know, but |
| and head for you next destination. Rinse and repeat. | | | | it does work occasionally. This is what you do. Buy |
| ....This took some time huh? Well, it was worth it, | | | | yourself a couple of megacytes. Fly to Sobaseki, Jita, |
| believe me. Take a look at your paper, a lot of | | | | Amarr, Agil, Oursualert, Lustrevik, Hek. In each of |
| figures there I guess. Start by looking at module one. | | | | these systems you will be placing one scam auction. |
| Is there maybe a region or two that sell these above | | | | Make a contract with 1 Megacyte in it, describe it as |
| the average? Maybe there is also a couple of places | | | | 30000 x Megacyte. Pick a realistic but cheap price, |
| where you can find the module at a price below | | | | set it to 6 days. No one will likely buy your auction |
| average? Note the price difference down and check | | | | but there are moments when people doesnt think |
| the other modules at the same way. There should | | | | twice and you auction might just get sold. Easy isk, |
| now be a lot of nice deals on you paper, try looking | | | | not fair play though...And yes I have tried this and |
| for ones where you can sell the modules in Jita and | | | | succeeded. Not doing it again though, does not feel |
| gain profit. Ideally you want a profit margin at at | | | | ok. |
