1. The Isk Keeper: I am trader - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Sounds almost exactly like my story, all the way down to the items you were trading in Dodixie. I believe that we were competitors on numerous items, and we both discovered the value of courier contracts about the same time. Great post!

2. What makes a good trader? - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Don't know if there's anything I can add that others haven't. I'll try my hand at it, though. When you're a trader, you're a businessman. That means that you need to get into a businessman's mindset. In eve, there is tremendous flexibility in how...

3. Small fish in a big pond - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Originally by: Evthron Macyntire Please disregard this post. I am about to say something ******ed. No. No, the MD elite is not "quivering", and it's certainly not because the OP is telling them how play. Their reactions are from the f...

4. EMMA 1.0 - in Market Discussions [original thread]
I'm having a problem with EMMA loading all of my alts. When my first alt was created, EMMA added the characters transactions automatically. After creating a second alt, however, I cannot get it to add them to the group. I reinstalled EMMA, and the...

5. To Crash or not to crash.... - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Looks like you just experienced the terrible pain of the lemming effect There are two basic ways to approach this situation. Your first option is to continue trading the item at a 20% profit, which is still fairly substantial. Depending on the ...

6. Ambiguous Market Tips? - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Edited by: Isaac Swift on 13/04/2009 07:00:34 I deal mainly with slower moving items like ship modules. It's a perfectly fine market, as long as you know how to work it. I don't have massive amounts of capitol to throw around yet unlike some p...

7. Frustrated by some of the trends I've been seeing - in Market Discussions [original thread]
I can think of two reasons why people would raise buy order prices high enough to hurt profits, but not high enough to kill competition. First: they think they are getting rid of competition, but they underestimated the other traders tenacity. W...

Akita, thanks for giving such a good example of how to utilize market crashes. Best description I've seen on MD... actually, it's the only detailed description I've seen on MD. I appreciate it

9. EVE Metrics - Better than EVE Central - in Market Discussions [original thread]
I like it, but I wish there was an easier way to isolate individual regions. I like that I can have favorite regions, but there has to be an better way to search for the movement of item X in region Y.

10. Brain cramp - in Market Discussions [original thread]
eve-metrics.com Seems like a good alternative to eve-central, though it takes a little longer to load a page. It'll get better with time, I'm sure.

11. Playable factions in missions - in EVE New Citizens Q&A [original thread]
Is there any weight given to which factions you will fight against when you are missioning for a playable faction? Example, would running missions for the Amarr result in fighting more Minmatar, missioning for the Gallente Fed Navy result in fight...

12. Current Trading Hubs - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Anyone know of the minor hubs to be found outside of these high-traffic regions?

13. Current Trading Hubs - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Is there an up to date, detailed list of the current major and minor trading hubs? Something like this , if possible. Obviously the major hubs have not changed much over the years, but I'm interested if the minor hubs are still accurate.

14. Approaching a wild and desolate market - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Assume that there is a low level of traffic. Going back to my first example, let's say that I can sell 3-5 of any given module at 200% profit a day. If I lowered the sell orders and raised the buy orders, do you think that the increased sales will...

15. Approaching a wild and desolate market - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Outside of the systems that contain major and minor trade hubs, there are a lot of regions that don't have any sort of centralized trading system. And a lot of times, these markets have really crazy buy and sell order prices. From your experience,...

16. How much do YOU make a day? - in Market Discussions [original thread]
I'm obviously not going to ask for specific items, but how do the pros feel about consumable vs non-consumable items? I've found that non-consumables are easier to sell for a high profit margin, but take longer to actually sell. As an update to ...

17. How much do YOU make a day? - in Market Discussions [original thread]
I'm hardly a big wig (I just started trading less than a week ago), and right now I'm probably only making about 5mil a day with a 100mil investment in the market. I also spend a good deal of time reading the forums, checking out new trading tools...

18. Everyshore - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Haha, yes, I can indeed use the map. As I can answer my more basic questions by looking it up myself (instead of being lazy), let me rephrase myself: what high level stuff is there to do there? Are there rare minerals? High level agents? Or is i...

19. Everyshore - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Everyshore is a low-traffic region, near Oursulaert (a major trade hub), but without any sort of hub of its own. What exactly is there to do there? Are there agents or decent roid belts that I'm not aware of? Does it have access to low-sec systems...

20. Checking cross-regional markets - in EVE New Citizens Q&A [original thread]
There are several market aggregation tools out there that allow you to look at price averages, buy and sell orders, and all sorts of other useful information. As a new player, I surely spent far more than necessary on items, mainly because I didn'...
