TTH: Getting Rich Off Market Staples In EVE Online
TTH writes: "Nature abhors a vaccuum, and the markets of EVE Online abhor them even more. Market gaps occur in null-sec naturally, as game mechanics change or, especially, when territory changes hands. Once all the old producers have fled and the new locals are taking up residence, there will be wide market gaps even amongst the most organized inhabitants. Even if there aren’t gaps, new markets will often have uncompetitive prices and thus be ripe for your personal competition. Or, if you’re anything like me, you can take steps to ensure that the market remains both uncompetitive and vulnerable to monopoly.
The gist of the idea here is to set up a very large number of sell orders for easily produced items that sell at large markups despite their low production cost. There are many modules that will always have customers, and always sell at above their manufacture cost. By selling a wide spread of critical goods, you can turn a profit even if you have too much competition on a single product."
