I recently fond a great set of trade systems. In on the raven was selling for pretty low price. In the other the raven was selling for a lot higher price. The beauty of this spot is that the two systems are in different regions so you cant see that you are getting ripped off without doing a bit of research.
So i bought a couple of ravens, made the 5 jumps necessary to get to the other system, put up a sell order and bam! I had made over 15mill per ship :D
I am going to stop doing the small margin trading stuff and only do some trading when I find a good deal like this one. Its funny, a lot of isk can be made from people too lazy to travel a few jumps to get something cheaper.
Ok so here are the skills you should train up if you are going to get right into trading.
Marketing allows to setup remote sell orders.
Procurement allows to setup remote buy orders
Daytrading allows to change orders remotely
Visibility increases maximal effective range of buy orders
The ranges for the above 4 skills:
- level 0: limited to current station
- level 1: anywhere within current solar system
- level 2: 5 jumps
- level 3: 10 jumps
- level 4: 20 jumps
- level 5: entire region
Retail +8 additional orders per level.
Wholesale +16 additional orders per level.
Tycoon +32 additional orders per level.
max = 305 order
Accounting reduces default tax rate for 10% per level from 1% to 0.5% at level 5
Broker Relations reduces broker fee for 5% per level from 1% to 0.75% at level 5
Margin Trading – decreases amount of ISK you have to place in buy orders. values are:
- level 0: 100%
- level 1: 75%
- level 2: 56.25%
- level 3: 42.18%
- level 4: 31.64%
- level 5: 23.73%
Good luck with your trading!
