I see this everywhere, and i dont think it is really utilized. There is a lot of stuff that moves inbetween NPC corps.

I keep looking and dont really see many place for it. I am thinking that i Might make one for myself. There is a list for each npc corp as to what they buy and what they sell. I was thinking to find a way to join the information together with the 3rd party tools to see what is available.

I wasnt sure if the corp market activity is reseeded every day or what. I didnt know if it changed regularly.

I was thinking to see something like this in the dump but noticed yet

create table crpMarketData{
corp_id int
item_id int
cost double
amount int
statioin_Id int
type (buy or sell) bit
}


Has anyone noticed where to get this information from? I know that PI has allowed us to produce some of the items, but for setting up buy and sell orders and just be the guy moving stuff is harder to work around.

I would kill for a marketdata table.

Maybe there is a way to take the data dumps from the market and parse those into the database.

Thoughts? Ideas how to accomplish this?

A few things:

First off, you are about 6 years late to that party. Although I suppose it's possible content has been added.
Back when NPC trading was common, it was considered a somewhat noob activity. After all, the Eve economy is supposed to be player driven.
If you do really want to get into this, you can look at info for each corp ("Market Activity" tab) and see the items they buy and sell. You can also hop into a shuttle, poke your head into different regions and go through the market details of the NPC goods categories looking for bulk buyers and sellers.

I wasnt sure of the "noobness" from it if i could manage it with a freighter. I was looking at it, and it seems that a lot of solid individuals already have a base, and will buy out everything at server start, then every few days scoop and move it in bulk.

Good idea, but a bummer for me. ;)

Thought it would be something fun, and with my programming skills, possible to be a way to find a good route and design setup. Alas, that is not true.

Didn't this also have to do with the whole NPC hauler deal? You could get an idea of what certain NPC haulers were carrying and make some kills on them for the drops?

This stuff.

I alreayd move stuff while i sleep and at work, but i have more pilots available. Thought it was possible, but not really. I guess ill just put everyone in a freighter and move larger goods for players.
