After saving up for months I'm finally sitting in my Fenrir. Main reason I got in it was for the corp. While I'm not hauling for them what would be a good way of making isk? I was looking at the courier contracts and the collateral was so high. Is it worth really saving up the isk for the collateral or is there another way to make money with the fenrir.? thanks for the help!

If you do not like to pay collateral and do couriers (not that profitable witj JF, its more of afk business for regular t1) then one of the other options on table is to supply your local null sec station from Jita at markup. Assuming your alliance does not have the program already in place. The usual price in null sec is Jita + 25%.

Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... THWONK! GOT the bastard.

I seem to recall back in the day that most hauler contracts were traps or bogus, although I can't remember how exactly :O Anyhoo, is there a decent AFK business hauling in T1 freighters via the contract market as a solo operation do you think?

There might be.

As someone who regularly needs to have huge amounts hauled very short distances, I much prefer to find a hauler and set up a regular deal, agreed-upon terms, and an expectance that all contracts are fulfilled within the time limit (typically 3+3 days) without a single failure.

I have a deal set up, currently, but my hauler is on vacation, and is expected back in a couple of days.

And yes it really is worth saving up for Collateral. But you can start off with 500mil easily
