I know that Jita is the ultimate Eve market hub.
But I was curious what other market hubs exist. I know that Amarr is one and off the top of my head Dodixie is somewhat one. But what other market hubs exist?

Thank you for enlightening me and have a good week.

Unless you feel like playing the 0.01 isk game with trade bots on a per second basis, pick one of the smaller hubs:

Tash-Murkon Prime
Oursulaert
Ichoriya
Teonusude
Villore
Nourvukaiken
Sobaseki
Agil
Motsu

Having traded out of both Rens and Amarr, they aren't too bad regarding .01 iskers.

That is to say, yes, you will get .01ed but there is also enough volume to generally gobble up things below you and eventually reach your order. It also wont be .01ed instantly (at least in the goods I trade in). I've seen some of my products sit as the lowest sell/highest buy for awhile and get nibbled at by buyers/sellers before someone .01ed me and stopped the flow. Granted, I'm not a dedicated station trader, so rapid turnover of my products is not key to my business. I adjust my prices maybe once a day and I move goods fast enough for what I do.

Having gotten my start in Rens, I would advise a younger trader to start out in there.It has a lower volume but more niches for you to make a profit in, especially if you aren't opposed to a little hauling. I made my first billion there (without plexes) before moving up to Amarr.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

Dodixe doesn't see too much 0.01 ISKing, except on the very high volume stuff. A lot of orders are only updated daily.

Same with Hek... I know it is a long supply run from Jita, but there are lots of good markets to work there. Plus is the fact that it is the market hub closest to Eve Uni, which is 5 jumps away. I believe their home system is one of the top ten as far as isk traded all by itself.

I admit to being one of "those people" that just 0.01's in Dixie, but even with people like me around its nothing that you need to check more than every few hours tops.

I appreciate that trade bots exist, but the only reasons not to 0.01 isk that I can think of are:

a) To force prices significantly up or down as part of a cunning market strategy.
b) To set a price so high/low that other traders won't beat it (and that's a risky move anywhere).

You're going to get 0.01 isked if you're in a station with other people, period.
