Is there any other way to trade items to other players without setting up a contract? I wanted to give a friend a mod and the only way I saw to give it to him was to setup a contract with no cost but there is still a 10k fee that I dont feel I should have to pay.

Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

You can always arrange to meet with your friend and jettison the mod then abandon the can. It's a bit of logistics though.

You can trade stuff while docked in same station (rightclick menu), tho setting up a contract is a way more convinient way.

When it comes to trading with someone you don't know, avoid the trade screen. Even if you're wanting to avoid taxes. It's a scammers paradise.

On the other hand, if you trust them, trade window is fine.

Woo! CSM XI!

1. Buy a secure container.
2. Anchor it in a 0.7 or lower system (requires Anchoring 1 skill)
3. Set a password on it AFTER anchoring it (leave old password field blank when new).
4. Give your friend(s) the password, and a bookmark to it.

The container will remain in space if it is accessed at least every 30 days.
