Market Trading In Eve Online

[@Bazonkaz]

As weird as it sounds, I want to play EVE mainly because of the appeal of a 100 percent player controlled market. The combat aspect of EVE sounds hella fun don't get me wrong, but I think this is what I see myself doing. Thanks for posting this vid!

[@ZeroJake]

Have a look at Dual Universe (on kickstarter), its economy is truly 100% player controlled (no NPCs whatsoever)

[@Bazonkaz]

Zero Jake Thanks!

[@dotty.]

10 months later now... how did it go?

[@daveice20]

+L brea yup, I love the combat just as much as anyone, but my favorite part is logging onto my freighter alt, heading to Jita, stocking up on necessities then heading into lowsec to stock up my corps&other friendlies stations with a +50% markup ;) someone has to do it, and most people in lowsec will always pay to avoid a long trip themselves

[@tomasnoel4631]

you all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.

[@pure6048]

Didn't realize how old this was until I saw the PLEX prices. We need a hero to fix this.

[@ElTurbandito]

gotta love how the missiles in EVE have aerodynamic fins.

[@HuntingTarg]

4:00 - So you can buy/sell/trade GROCERIES in this game?! Winner winner, frozen virtual chicken dinner! That's quotable; so much so that I'm putting it in my notebook. 6:50 - "It is an eternal truth in [commerce] that people pay for convenience."

[@Techiastronamo]

Actually, yes, yes you can.

[@scottmanley]

That depends on market conditions cerlestes.de has an ore price calculator that puts Kernite as the mineral of choice right now, that's found out in Amarrian space (Domain, Tash-Murkon, Devoid, Derelik, Kador, Khanid or Kor-Azor regions)

[@scottmanley]

Yes all the minerals on the market come directly from player activity, mostly mining, but some come from reprocessing loot dropped by NPC's

[@scottmanley]

I'm not a solo PVP'er by any means, but joining fleets is the most fun I've ever had in any game.

[@grizdaagon3705]

For hauling I would suggest using courier contracts. You are looking at the ability to move alot of stuff through-out most of high sec for low prices. This way pays other people to take the time to move it. It will allow you to spend time doing other things. Trading between systems is more or less a "meh" kind of thing. What I did starting out was taking things to Level 4 mission hubs from Market Hubs. Generally ammo, drones, a few ship fittings while avoiding the "ship" market itself.

[@scottmanley]

You can do it, just warp from belt to belt looking for 'commande' NPCs but some days you'll make 100million and the next you'll make 10, it's very much down to luck and it's easy to get bored doing the same thing for hours on end.

[@scottmanley]

Well back before Tyrannis mineral prices had dropped so low that I was able to make money insurance scamming - buying or building battleships for less than the insurance payout and then self destructing them. Then Tyrannis came around and I flipped all my money into NPC planetary commodities which were certain to rise in price, that put me up to about 10billion ISK. Later I figured out that the demand for Nocxium was so high I made a profit refining cheap items it for the nocx. Opportunities.

[@gwantM]

I watched this video 3 months ago, I already had about 20b from seeding 0.0 markets, but this took me to an entirely differently level. I bought a trade character and decided to mess around with 2b on that character, that character now has 30b alone, adding my collective total to about 60b in isk and assets. TY MY MANLEY

[@OcihEvE]

I didn't watch the entire video but another aspect of trading in EVE is to be on the test server. One of the most powerful market movers in EVE is the nerf bat and if you know something is going to get changed before others, you can use that. An example, Meta 4 large energy neuts went from 400K to 1.1 mill in Odyssey as a result of changes to an Amarr battleship bonus. That's 250% if you purchased a few thousand of them.

[@MivFPS]

This actually got me started pretty well, I have to thank you for this tutorial, it was very helpful on a lot of areas in trading :) I personally started 2 weeks ago, and so far I had like 8 friends joining me on EvE Online, as they heard me talking about it haha, so im sharing your video with them ;D Hope to see more EvE online videos in future!

[@MrSpecialKTJ]

Thank you so much for making this video. As somebody who is slowly bleeding ISK everday due to economic ignorance, this was very informative! If you have anymore insight for any aspect of EVE, I would appreciate future videos.

[@Aeternum_]

"Sky stop breathing" = Epic

[@IdleGod]

I started watching for Kerbal, but just as I decide I want to start trading in Eve, you come out with this. Oh you...

[@paprikakerman8488]

What are the other types of money making schemes? Which is second best if trading is best? You're pushing me further and further towards starting Eve with all these great videos, just have to get some exams out of the way first!

[@8bit_pineapple]

Scott you got me into an odd position, I "played" eve a long time ago, I say "played" ... since allot of my time was offline skill training. Your videos made me decide to give it another try, with my first month coming to and end and concluding I probably wouldn't come back I decided to gamble all of my ISK on a website I found... and to my surprise won 2.5 billion ISK. So I figure I should play for at least another 4 months but I have no clue what I should be doing.

[@grizdaagon3705]

For high sec I would say run missions to get level 4 missions. They are pretty easy and keep you in high sec. This also allows you to see what drops in the missions to be able to put up buy orders at cheaper then selling price to also use that as a revenue for isk making.

[@TheCafurrow]

Good video Scott. I just started eve about a week ago. Im gonna try out a few of the real simple ideas that you showed and mess around with it a bit. I also enjoy your kerbal space program videos too. Thanks.

[@LFJII2]

Sky made the day, well done. Been there done that , loved every moment when they are young.

[@scottmanley]

Not me, I only do things that make money.... (besides, that's just my Trade alt)

[@gamerx112]

Im trying to figure out how to encourage trade in our freeports. we have a player owned station fitted with a market but barely any trade.

[@sharkuc]

Tip: go into your settings page of the market and tick "Mark my orders", they'll show up in blue now and you can right click and modify them from the market view itself, rather than going through the orders tab...

[@relicorigins3347]

Thank you for the brief tutorial on the market I was unsure how the market worked in eve but this cleared up a lot of my questions. See you in Jita Friend 07

[@DrJonez]

The constant flashing from your wallet and character sheet are making my OCD go insane :P

[@theelusiveyoda]

Great video, there are a few points that you missed but those mainly come from experience and cant really be described in videos such as knowing when to buy out a market or to pull out of one, trading has literally paid for my 7 accounts for the past year or so. I started off trading in pos modules and have come a long long way. Also jita is probarbly one of the hardest places to trade due to the speed that the market changes, you can make alot of isk there, you can also loose a whole lot more

[@Kylliian]

If you want to so this, sometimes you have to haul to other stations, I watch the markets in Jita for 2-3 hours, look at Eve-Central and look for opportunities simultaneously. If I see a better deal somewhere, I haul the item there, and profit :) And look for items with larger margins, stay away from statics like minerals.

[@OperationValhalla]

Go with an Iteron IV you can cap out around 40k m3. That will jump from profit margin up quite a bit. Once you feel you've outgrown that trade up to a Orca for around 500k m3 of various space.

[@TheCycl0ps]

Hey man. Thanks for the tuts. It helped newbies alot how to make ISK from trading. Great job!

[@ethankincaid6838]

Thank you this video was very helpful. As soon as I saw trade skills I knew what I was gonna do

[@Gaffa1]

Crazy to see the price of plex in this 566m now 820m in Jita lol

[@TheEmosoldier123]

FinRanomness Have ou considered, that was MY opinion?

[@quasicroissant]

The Fullmetal Titan It wasn't an opinion, it was a question, which I answered.

[@ZunaZurugi]

And now its 3m ...mhhh but you also need like 500 of it to have the equal use of an oldstyle PLEX

[@0mgJP]

Hey Scott, Great video. I analyze game economics at my channel and you did a very good job with the Eve market!

[@fiqririhyawan2409]

This might be old but hope you seen this, in this game, can you buy things like weapons ship etc in any station market just like on Elite Dangerous ?

[@94Newbie]

yes provided the item in question is in stock. pretty much everything is bought, sold and produced by players not by npcs. not every station is selling everything simply because no one there sells that product. its semi free to play right now so you might want to check it out.

[@GibsonMusicMan]

Hello, i'd like to start a station trading alt and i've got a few questions: Is Jita ok for starting ? What's a good amount of isk to start with ? Also, what item do you suggest to start trading ?... I've seen this video 1 month ago, and so i don't actually remeber if there are the answers to my questions ...

[@WizzRacing]

You can use Neocom for the iPhone to track orders and everything else in Eve. You just can't add something or change anything. Your still required to login for skills and other stuff. You used to be able to use TS3 on an iPhone but its gone now.

[@Felonious405]

Is there a program or website where you can enter your API to see how much isk you are making via the market? Something easier than a spreadsheet that I have to use everytime I create or modify an order. I would like to be able to keep track of things I'm buying and selling to insure that I'm not losing money in any item via price fluctuations.

[@BHGiant3]

You set up buy orders which allows people to sell items to you. When people fill those orders, you then take your newly bought product and you put in sell orders at a higher price which then allows people to buy from you. And it's almost impossible to make a PLEX on a trial account.

[@0xSurgRax0]

So the caracal is a great pvp ship... Hmmmm... I bought one with my hard earned isk and when I announced it to my corp they all said it is useless in battle. So I sold it and decided to stick to destroyers and frigates until I can get a scorpion or raven.

[@0xSurgRax0]

Scott Manley Wow thanks for replying Scott! I am now 23 hours away from flying a Raven, well I still need the ISK though xD. Exploration seems a strength of mine so it's cool. And useful picture, although, I don't understand half the terms used in it. Just so I don't waste any more of your (most certainly) precious time, I'm gonna ask my corp what they mean. Thanks again, and fly safe. Ohh if you are reading this I would like to ask a question: Do you still play EVE? And if yes do you plan on making more videos of it?

[@brianteasley2703]

Hey there Scott. I've been debating this in my head quite a bit. I currently run 3 accounts. A Combat/pvp main, A Mining alt and a Trader alt that deals with Jita regularly. Would it be wise to keep them all on seperate accounts? Should I move my trader over to my main account and just log on him to check orders? Or would it be better to keep him separate so I can stay logged into him? I keep all my accounts logged in when I'm online so I can multitask and check things constantly. Opinions?

[@ShortandWide]

how i long for the days of the 500mil plex xD

[@TheAwesomeness96]

Tell me about it. Its over a billion now!

[@Hyonyx]

Gabriel Petroff 1.3 billion xD

[@ocelotmadness6287]

1.5b and the ui sucks now and aura sounds dumb :(

[@MrViki60]

TheMuskyChode 1.6B now

[@beastlinger8399]

3.5b now

[@WombatDakk]

Maybe you misunderstood me, maybe not. I want to be the one hauling :P i like the idea of being a "space trucker" type thing. I was hoping for a bit of a guide on it. Though your suggestions are very interesting, i'll have to check it all out.

[@Swordpaine]

Scott, I've heard it was possible to get a PLEX in the 21 day trial by run around in 0.5-0.7 sec systems and going to each belt and looking for faction wrecks and looting from them. I saw a faction wreck once when I was mining and the loot was a 45 mil warp scrambler. Do you think this would be a easy way to get a PLEX if someone doesn't want to do trading?

[@spacekicker4]

Is it weird if I say I love hearing your voice XD it's so soothing

[@Ryancady010]

Hey, are you still playing EVE?

[@TheCreeperInc]

can you start you're own corp.? for example I start a mining corp. and controle a mineral and only selling it at certain moments would I make a profit?

[@Debus005]

Scott im a bit on an idiot and i dont know english so good..so basicly you buy something thats cheap in 1 system and then u go to somewhere where they buy it for more money? and u can make a PLEX in 21 days?

[@SpartanW98]

Scott, I have a question. No one can seem to give me a clear answer. Are all of the mined resources brought to the market by players? So say if players stopped mining, there would be a shortage of mined resources on the market? So if this is true would this game be a player driven economy? Sorry if its a weird question, I am trying to get the hang of this game, dont know much about it yet. Thanks!

[@Muzzled]

You have the patience and the attention span of a saint, I personally just want to fly my space ship and do fun things. Like shoot other people, or crash at orbital velocity into a planet and make a new crater. The stock market isn't exactly gripping game-play to me.

[@Koroistro]

There's somewhere an in-depth guide on how to buy the 30 day extension thing in the 21 days trial? I'm prone to theorycrafting and i've a developped functioning brain but i do not want to spend money , i was searching commerce games or something like that and i find the economy aspect of EVE ecatly what i'm searching! Anyone has a more detailed guide so i can learn about this game before actually playing it?

[@mtothem1337]

i'm thinking about getting into the game, but i don't feel like putting down 15euro a month, i heard that you can pay ingame currency for your gametime aswell, how much does that cost on average and how hard is it to get that amount as a new player?

[@KillerShark73]

Great video. Thank you for your isk making insight. Look forward to more.

[@BRONCOS997]

This is awesome!! You should do more vids like this!!

[@dylanring105]

my memory is so amazing that i had to rewatch this vid while playing the game XD

[@jaredlwg7133]

when did you record this? im searching caracal on the market in Jita 4,4, and only see 500-1000 volume :/

[@Wirenfeldt1990]

have you considered doing something like an EVE Let's play?

[@DCimpressions]

hey Scott, is it possible to make decent margins in mass production and such?

[@Aeternum_]

I've been watching your videos for years now and I had now idea you had THAT much money.. I think another how to make money video is in order.

[@MegaZombieHamster]

are you trying to start a fight? also scott i have been away for some time,have the dust 514 items been added yet?

[@DanatronOne]

Its so odd, I just had this like sense, I was in the middle of a video and I just thought, Scotts uploaded something o_O

[@Devilock79]

Scott are you in GSF? I ask because you mentioned Hulkageddon. I'm in SMA btw. lol

[@scottmanley]

No

[@digger4400]

Scott when you're not trading what do you do for an EVE living?

[@xXRageGamerXx]

I saw your comment on the other video, what do you have against Eve?

[@remenents100]

Scott, I am trying to get into trading, I was wondering if I could contact you in game and maybe get some help?

[@kevinhistorynut]

Lol I gotta learn to do this I got 4mil isk in my bank. Any tips for buying and selling between jita and null sec? I live in null and regularly fly to jita in a buzzard is there anything I can bring back and forth for a decent profit?

[@kevinhistorynut]

Yeah have fun I'll probably be back but gotta take a break from eve once and a while

[@WombatDakk]

Dear Mr Scott Manley Could you please please pretty please do an eve guide on haulage/trading between systems? IE, what sort of ship you would use depending on race, how you'd start out, useful sites, etc etc I'd be eternally (Yep, for eternity) Grateful, as i've just started playing and thats what i want to do Thank you in advance

[@JohnSmith-jj6ix]

what are some good things to station trade in jita?

[@Qwufi]

Kids rumbling at the background :D Great tutorial, thanks!

[@nonononononoo8651]

I have no idea how people make money doing this in Jita. The margins are so razor thin. Over 2 days I bought 70 million isk worth of about 40 different items, then resold them for a total profit of 200k isk. Whoopy do. Is there an easier to find items with a larger margin?

[@zerkon2]

Incredibly awesome video and great work! :)

[@tankattack117]

scott are you going to do a live stream tonight?

[@GatorFog]

what is the best mineral to mine as a beginner?

[@MohammadRaja1337]

if you do it and love it and have learned the skills to make more orders and save fees and tax you can easily make 1b+ isk

[@trains1000]

I remember making millions of ISK in EVE online till I got feed up with having to pay monthly and it was taking a large chunk of my life. I might play again if they ever make it a one time fee. Heck I'd pay $100 or more so I never have to pay another monthly fee.

[@risinglikeaswarm]

Not a player... yet... but what does one do with all the isk they earn?

[@fiercemonkey1]

Influence, power, and mostly FUN. when you have tons of isk at your disposal you will not be hit as hard when u loose your ship in pvp, or ganks. personally i like to help out the little guys and shower them in new shineys that they just cant get to yet. great game imho, very complex, ive been playing now for almost 4 yrs and im STILL learning so much. but, if your stupid of impatient you will not do well. fine by me. give it a try and if u do contact me my in game id is; Fierce Monkey

[@TheEternalCrafter]

Buy stuff off people, most buy monthly memberships (I think it costs about 900 million IKS)

[@Sluggernaut]

I can't understand something here. I trade by moving materials. Buy low and sell high. I rarely make more than 4 mil ISK per run. I only have a Mammoth with 18k m3 cargo space so i'm fairly limited for now. You're things you showed in the video confused everything I know and do. A lot of the stuff you said you could buy and sell showed a HIGHER selling price than what people were buying it for. Where is the profit? I buy as many units of Quafe or whatever and move it to sell instantly.

[@noobietuner]

You should make a series where you start a new character with no skills and start with a small starting capital and work your way up by trading.

[@Thefatbot41]

Also, your bank is 89 billion in this video, that is close to the 91 billion that the persons screenshot had.

[@omgponies111]

You can always pay people to courier the items for you.

[@p0wer5000]

I started playing this finally it's soo confusing but sooo fun!

[@affluence8]

Spartan what you say is true but people wont just stop mining and selling the minerals. You can have 1 or 2 big groups worth together to try and raise the prices but there are 400k people in Eve so globally that would be impossible.

[@WeBuild4Life]

Look at the volume being moved. (the bottom bars)

[@signofthetimesorvrg4017]

[@Voodoomancer]

You can't, but you can buy gametime for ingame currency, thereby eliminating your subscription fee.

[@FmMan33]

You don't have to pay a monthly fee. If you're good at Eve, you can just trade PLEX and play for free.

[@subatomiccc300]

So what's in high demand right now?

[@crushporter]

How about a video about how getting started in Eve Online because i would like to start in this :)

[@dbull50]

You should totally do an eve LP.
