There are many ways to earn ISK playing EVE, but only one method allows you to increase your wealth whilst wearing a sharp suit. In the first of a two-part guide, the immaculately dressed Kaaii starts us off with the basics of buying low and selling high.

Trading in EVE is probably one of the most lucrative yet dangerous occupations a starship commander can take up. You can make millions of ISK in a few hours then lose it in an instant through recklessness, stupidity, or both. While there are things you can do to offset the inherent risks (like plan your route through safer systems and fit your ship with modules that might allow you to evade player pirates), there are some fundamental principles you must adopt before you start throwing money about the place, or, more often than not, you will fail in the most spectacular way.

While most have a grasp of making ISK, few truthfully understand the concept beyond that of earning a decent wage. Anyone can load up an industrial ship with data sheets, make a few jumps, sell them at a higher price and call themselves a trader.
