Market Discussions

I used to station trade in dodixie about 8 months ago and was able to fill my orders and flip pretty well. I mainly did PI at that time and some t2 mods.

Went in there this weekend and still havent gotten my orders filled and I stay on top of the .01 isk game.

Is it dying? Is Amar like this?

Its dying. Sell orders getting higher and buy orders lower. Like any old back alley system.

Dodixie's strength lay in the high quality agents available. Now this availability is no longer unique to Dodixie. However Ninja looters still infest Dodixie. All the more reason for missioners to vacate to lesser known, less crowded, but equally as rewarding systems.

Thus yes, Dodixie is not the singular point of interest that it used to be in days gone by.

Amarr has been pretty busy as far as I have seen. It certainly was this weekend. :o

It sucks that Dodixie is dying out though. Does that mean that Gallente space soon won't have any real decent trade hubs? :(

All the Hubs are Jita resale points. The odd item will have a unique market but it's usually 5 or 10 items.

Solitude is still its own market but its so small nobody pays any attention. I doubt there are 100 buyers there.

No it's not. Just use Dotlan and check the current NPC kills around Dodi, like Auvergne and Agrallarier about 62k NPC kills in those systems alone. There are some other Gallente Hubs in Verge Vendor and Essence but those ones are splitted and don't even come near the NPC kills around Dodixie.

The problem with those Hubs like Juvfitte and Oursulaert is that they are out in the sticks it's not even funny. It's different with Minmatar, Rens will die and Hek will take it's place, maybe Lustrevik. It just takes some time until the last mission runner gets that Hek and surrounding systems have better sec status for missioning just check Dotlan.
Hek +2jumps about 90k NPC kills
Rens +2jumps about 100k NPC kills but the numbers moved to Lustrevik
Lustrevik +2jumps about 150k NPC Kills

In other words Gallente is split up in 3 different Regions, i don't see any other Hub taking Dodis place soon.

Edit:
I thought Dodi would die, too after CCP changed the Agents quality but it didn't happened.

I know the history of Oursulaert, i tested the water there after the Agents change not long ago, not enough profit for the hassle. As i said i thought Dodi would die due to better sec status elsewhere and Oursulaert and surrounding systems have a better sec status than Dodi and it's surroundings but it seems it is not significant enough to attract mission runners in numbers.

From a travel point of view Oursulaert is just fine but it lacks the numbers so it's kinda in the boondocks. Still the main problem Gallente has that the good systems are fairly spread between 3 regions or like Juvfitte are a dead end.

I did a research after the agent change:
Highest priority were corps with a good LP shop. Like shops were you get 3000ISK/LP per module via Blueprints.
Second priority were lowest sec status possibly, like 0.5 or 0.6 systems and checking the real sec status here http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/solarsystem.php
Third priority was the constellation for possibly hits do not contain any lowsec system for obvious reasons.

Best possible systems for Gallente are Amygnon and Scheenins and that is Jufvitte as centre system, all the other factions have very good systems close to established trade hubs.

I should sell the info first but i guess for Gallente i can post it:
Corp / System / Region / sec

Aliastra / Siyi / Tash-Murkon / 0,509
Federal Administration / Charmerout / Essence / 0,554
Astral Mining Inc. / Arraron / Verge Vendor / 0,5
The Scope / Neesher / Kor-Azor / 0,5
The Scope / Heorah / Genesis / 0,5
Garoun Investment Bank / Amygnon / Verge Vendor / 0,637 (actually 2x LvL 4 Agents, same system)
Roden Shipyards / Scheenins / Verge Vendor / 0,537

Some system looks very good like Siyi or Neesher but those two ones are so far away from any trade hub, south central would be Walmart and of course are in Amarr space not a good idea if you plan to run faction missions and ruin your faction status towards Amarr.

Are those LP shops affected by people having CONCORD LP from incursions?

I'm not an advocate for one system or another in this debate. But in equal measure numbers are not the sum total of any situation. Your argument acknowledges travel as a consideration then proceeds to discount it. Life in Eve is dominated by logistics. If you have none, or handle it badly, you have no life in Eve. Travel is a prime component of any logistical consideration.

What we think is irrelevant however... markets go where the people are, people go where the markets are. Determining where these two forces will intersect is not always open to easy determination by numbers.

My gut says Dodixie will continue to diminish because what made it significant has been removed.

I think Dodi already dimished and it will be stable from now on, yes the main reason for Dodi as Gallente hub isn't anymore but because of no natural better system Dodi will be the main Gallente hub until some very rich trader/manufacture group decide to establish a new Gallente hub.

Btw. i still make my 1b profit/week in Dodi, from my sales point of view nothing had changed but i can't comment on the buying site.
