Moving Junk Around
Most of it doesn't look like much by itself; I'm hauling T1 mods, ammo, gasses, a salad of scraps high and low volume. There are deadspace mods and other expensive items mixed in—but it's mostly trash salad.Trash salad can be profitable though. I may not be flying a Leopard, but Viators are pretty quick—and I've got 13k m3 or so cargo space. I can make a lot of quick stops... and stash many things in my cargo. Why be picky? ISK is ISK!
Data Source
All the the data on these deals comes from EVE-central's trade finder tool (through my Python data scraping scripts.) That means I could drop most of them in a buy order in Jita for instant returns. Sometimes it pays to do that; Other times you can make 10x or 100x more ISK with a well placed sell order (when the first margin is low.) Cha-ching!
Barrier to Entry
The beauty is that without data tools and some experience this part of the market is both out of sight—and not attractive to other traders. There's a definite barrier to entry.
Do Your Thang!
These opportunities highlight one of the most delightful things about trading in EVE Online! If you have creativity and vision you'll not only make good ISK... but it'll happening in interesting and rewarding ways. Trading in EVE is good fun!
I'm certainly not looking for competition...my skills would make more ISK if I were station trading anyways. I'm just hoping to give you some trading ideas. Maybe you'll follow through with one of your funky station trading schemes. Maybe you'll take a new risk, or figure out a fun scamming strategy. Just don't do business as usual!
Now fly safe... and fly weird. o7
