sitting on 630mil isk at the minute made from station trading in Jita i am finding this slow going and pretty boring, maybe i am buying / selling the wrong items for station games.
So with 630mil should i begin to buy in 1 hub and sell in another or is 630 not enough for this yet, if i were to haul from 1 hub to another what ship/fit would offer me the best chance of actually getting from a > b

once again thanks for advice

630m is enough. I used a Wreathe (t1 industrial) with cloak / mwd for my earlier hauling. Google cloak / mwd Eve for details. If you get into bigger volumes then train for DST or freighter - or do what many do and pay someone else to haul for you. The Hauler channel is good for independents, then there are corps like Red Frog Freight, PushX, etc that haul as well.

When I was starting out I moved some items from Jita to Dodixie for great profits.

However the market in dodixie and I imagine most of the other hubs is way slower than Jita, takes a lot of patients (or passive play).

Also when I had less isk I found it much better to buy stuff in bulk (at least as much bulk as I could for a few hundred mills) and sell in the slower hub for a good profit than to rely on buy orders.

this was some years ago though, I think it is very risky to haul stuff around now a days, make sure only to haul what you can afford to lose if you are gonna do it your self!

Why not do both, if you can find a place to setup a hub feeding FW/Null you can probably pick up what they don't want to haul to market. Or you can trade between hubs. If your moving across regions remember to check contracts there may be stuff you can pick up cheap and on sell in the hubs. Fly safe n have fun

Please like my posts it makes me feel better about the time I spend on the forums WTS... Smiles

Very much this. I do a lot of buy from Jita, courier contract to another hub and put up sell orders myself. Plenty of items to grab and make at least 10% ROI on that 600mil plus.
