So, how do I trade inter-regionally?

After mowing lawns and busting my ass off via station trading (AKA plus-zero-point-zero-one ISK game), I have about 9 billion ISK in liquid cash. A friend of mine, seeing my frustrating plight, informed me that inter-regional trading is way more profitable and better than it's station cousin. So, how exactly do I get started?

PS: Do I need my own freighter for this?

Alright, whatever, of course you buy stuff cheap and haul to another place for profit. But with so many items on the market, for what should I be looking for?

High profit margin, decent trade volume without too many order changes, low transport volume. To actually find the right goods to trade from/to where is the 1B ISK question, nobody who knows an answer will tell you. Blink

Profit. You should be looking for profit.


Asking to be spoonfed won't work, as no one (quite rightly) will give you specifics. If you want to find what to trade, do the research yourself. Compare profit margins, but also volume traded (arguably as important as margin).

https://eve-central.com/tradetool/ will help but you'll find buying from sell orders, hauling to another region and then selling to buy orders is very low margin - probably negative with the new tax rates.

You want to do it the other way around. create buy orders where product is cheap and sell orders where it is expensive. More work but a lot more income.

lol... but it's not the case, it's all about how you prefer to find the things work for you. Make your homework get a calculator and pencil with blanket sheet or it's spreadsheet or you just ask for a clear fingerprint of what to do

It's got nothing to do with that, and everything to do with not spoonfeeding man-sized babies. Teach a man to fish, etc., and all that...

Well I see everyone has advice and it is same old buy low sell high, if it was so simple, everybody would be rich. Anyway, you see they r not. Because you cant make it just by trading. You can but it will take time and time. Production is the way to get rich but big alliances normally do that and unless you are in one of them, you are not going far. In my post I was offering an idea of mine. Well refined and it has its value in real market operations as I experienced it myself. Sadly trading is flooded with so many scammers that level of paranoia is astounding. If you are interested, check my post and if you want to participate, pm me for private details. We already have 15% of needed minimum volume for the start and I started it ysterday.

There is nothing worthy in this world even if others think it is worth something...

At first you should read the latest economical report. Then you should figure out which region is worth to try.

Actually, it REALLY is that simple.

Time is the limiting factor, or taking big risks.

Sure, building gives easy returns, even in Jita, you dont need to do some hand waving "big ideas"

Trading is flooded with 0 scammers outside of margin scams....what you are talking about is investments, and, oddly, much like IRL, when someone pops up offering pots of gold at the end of a rainbow, you should be skeptical, especially if they then start throwing insults when anyone dare question their integrity.

Integrity? I haven't even shared the details, so how can you questions something you don't fully know or understand? Your questioning comes from desire to know more, but this is qui pro quo so if you are interested, do not fool around. You said rainbow and gold pots exactly because you lack information on the subject. Read my post and my other comments in other posts and maybe you will notice that it doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan. So that you will understand that scams are a low-level narrow minded trading "skill" which only use is testing grounds. Because for our operations we do not require trust as we are not escrow or casino. We trust one another basing on facts and data, not some promisses of unicorns on caramel fields.

Margin scams? No such thing. Purely legal and is practiced worldwide, yet "margin scams" are only superficial moves in the numerous ways of making money be it virtual or real.
