1
00:00:05,333 --> 00:00:10,483
EVE Online's massive player driven
markets are the lifeblood of New Eden.

2
00:00:10,483 --> 00:00:12,683
Learning how to navigate the market,

3
00:00:12,683 --> 00:00:15,267
buy the things you need for a fair price,

4
00:00:15,267 --> 00:00:17,550
and sell the goods you build or gather,

5
00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:22,117
will give you the foundation to build 
a successful career in this vast universe.

6
00:00:22,118 --> 00:00:26,000
When it comes to the
markets in EVE, location is key.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,400
You can only see items listed
for sale in your current region

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,267
and if you buy an item
from a particular station,

9
00:00:32,267 --> 00:00:35,350
you must go to that station
to pick up your purchase.

10
00:00:35,351 --> 00:00:39,333
For example, if you list a ship
for sale in the system of Jita,

11
00:00:39,334 --> 00:00:42,600
it cannot then be purchased
by someone in Amarr,

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,367
as these two systems
are in different regions.

13
00:00:45,367 --> 00:00:48,317
They would need to go to the
appropriate region to purchase it,

14
00:00:48,317 --> 00:00:53,150
and then pick it up from the specific
station in which the item was being sold.

15
00:00:53,151 --> 00:00:56,583
Because of this distributed 
nature of EVE Markets,

16
00:00:56,584 --> 00:01:01,417
prices for an item may be very different
depending on where you go to sell it.

17
00:01:01,418 --> 00:01:03,767
Trade hubs have naturally emerged

18
00:01:03,767 --> 00:01:07,333
where many buy and 
sell orders are listed by players.

19
00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:10,567
Due to the high volume of trade
at these trade hubs,

20
00:01:10,567 --> 00:01:14,150
they are a good place to go if
you are trying to find a specific item,

21
00:01:14,150 --> 00:01:16,867
or just to ensure 
you're getting a fair price.

22
00:01:17,317 --> 00:01:19,767
The largest trade hub
is in the system of Jita,

23
00:01:19,767 --> 00:01:24,917
 the Caldari Navy Assembly Plant 
located at Planet 4 Moon 4.

24
00:01:24,917 --> 00:01:28,167
Each of the four empires
have trade hubs in their space,

25
00:01:28,167 --> 00:01:30,133
so you can always find one nearby,

26
00:01:30,157 --> 00:01:32,157
 if you're looking to 
make a shopping trip.

27
00:01:52,050 --> 00:01:55,633
You can open the market by
clicking on the Regional Market icon

28
00:01:55,633 --> 00:01:59,000
in the Neocom panel on the
left hand side of your screen.

29
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,667
This will open the regional market window,

30
00:02:01,667 --> 00:02:04,733
where you can view all items
that are currently for sale

31
00:02:04,733 --> 00:02:06,667
in the region of space you are in.

32
00:02:06,667 --> 00:02:11,267
By using the drop down menus or the search
bar on the left side of the market screen

33
00:02:11,267 --> 00:02:13,750
you can find items listed on the market,

34
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:16,467
which you can then view 
in the panel on the right.

35
00:02:17,683 --> 00:02:20,383
Whenever you buy or sell
an item on the market,

36
00:02:20,383 --> 00:02:22,700
you are interacting with another player.

37
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:25,617
Players create buy
and sell orders for items

38
00:02:25,617 --> 00:02:28,300
which form the foundation 
for the living market.

39
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:30,950
To see the list of
buy and sell orders for an item,

40
00:02:30,950 --> 00:02:33,083
click the 'View Details' button.

41
00:02:33,083 --> 00:02:35,017
This will pull up the details screen,

42
00:02:35,017 --> 00:02:38,933
where you can see all the orders which
are currently available for that item.

43
00:02:38,933 --> 00:02:43,467
Sell orders are items which people have
listed for sale at a particular price,

44
00:02:43,467 --> 00:02:48,667
and buy orders indicate people looking to
purchase an item at their asking price.

45
00:02:48,667 --> 00:02:51,250
If you want to sell an 
item in your inventory,

46
00:02:51,250 --> 00:02:54,317
you can right click it and 
choose 'View Market Details'

47
00:02:54,317 --> 00:02:57,750
to see current orders 
for that item in your region.

48
00:02:57,750 --> 00:03:01,883
After reviewing these orders, you can
decide to sell it to one of the buy orders,

49
00:03:01,883 --> 00:03:03,833
or to list it as a sell order.

50
00:03:03,833 --> 00:03:08,250
Listing an item with a sell order
can often make you a bit more profit,

51
00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:11,933
however, you need to wait until
another player fulfills your order,

52
00:03:11,933 --> 00:03:14,200
which can take
quite a bit of time

53
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,683
depending on price, location,
volume and other such factors.

54
00:03:18,683 --> 00:03:22,067
If you'd like to improve your chances
of your sell order being fulfilled,

55
00:03:22,067 --> 00:03:25,733
its generally recommended to 
make your sell orders at a trade hub,

56
00:03:25,733 --> 00:03:27,617
and with a competitive price.

57
00:03:27,617 --> 00:03:28,650
 Once you've decided,

58
00:03:28,650 --> 00:03:32,417
just right click the item in your
inventory and choose 'Sell This Item'.

59
00:03:32,417 --> 00:03:35,517
If you're happy to sell to the
highest available buy order,

60
00:03:35,517 --> 00:03:39,167
you need only leave the duration set to
'Immediate' on the sell window

61
00:03:39,167 --> 00:03:40,450
and click 'Sell'.

62
00:03:40,450 --> 00:03:43,233
If you'd instead like to
list the item as a sell order,

63
00:03:43,233 --> 00:03:46,517
change the duration from 
'Immediate' up to 3 months

64
00:03:46,517 --> 00:03:49,167
and set the price you'd like 
to sell your item for.

65
00:03:49,167 --> 00:03:52,450
Take note of the taxes
required to create the listing,

66
00:03:52,450 --> 00:03:55,267
and of the number of 
remaining orders you can create,

67
00:03:55,267 --> 00:03:58,183
which can be seen in the lower 
left hand side of the window.

68
00:03:58,183 --> 00:04:02,017
If everything looks good,
click 'Sell' to create your listing.

69
00:04:03,217 --> 00:04:04,617
If you're looking to buy an item,

70
00:04:04,641 --> 00:04:07,367
you can buy it immediately 
from one of the sell orders,

71
00:04:07,367 --> 00:04:11,167
just right click the order,
choose 'Buy this' and hit buy.

72
00:04:11,167 --> 00:04:13,633
However, if you don't 
need the item right away

73
00:04:13,657 --> 00:04:15,700
and would like to try 
and get a better deal,

74
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:17,833
you can instead
create a buy order.

75
00:04:17,833 --> 00:04:22,483
From the market details view, click 'Place
Buy Order' at the bottom of the window.

76
00:04:22,483 --> 00:04:25,700
This will bring up the purchase screen
where you can set your price,

77
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,650
how many of the 
item you are looking to buy

78
00:04:27,650 --> 00:04:31,000
and how long you would like
your order to last, up to 3 months.

79
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,683
You can even change the range to
allow you to buy items further away,

80
00:04:34,683 --> 00:04:38,533
but be warned that you'll need to
travel around to pick them up individually

81
00:04:38,533 --> 00:04:40,683
if they are sold to you 
from another station.

82
00:04:40,683 --> 00:04:43,700
There is often a gap in price
between buy and sell orders,

83
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:46,750
and the savvy trader 
can use this to turn a profit,

84
00:04:46,750 --> 00:04:49,283
simply by buying low and selling high,

85
00:04:49,283 --> 00:04:51,717
using the difference 
between buy and sell orders.

86
00:04:51,717 --> 00:04:54,317
Market trading in this
way can be profitable,

87
00:04:54,317 --> 00:04:56,617
but watch your taxes 
and brokers fees,

88
00:04:56,617 --> 00:05:00,683
as updating your orders too often 
can eat into your profit margins.

89
00:05:00,683 --> 00:05:04,283
Now that you understand how buy and sell
orders work on the EVE market,

90
00:05:04,283 --> 00:05:06,333
you're ready to start making trades,

91
00:05:06,333 --> 00:05:10,700
capitalize on great deals and 
start turning a meaningful profit.

92
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:12,633
Whatever it is you do in EVE,

93
00:05:12,633 --> 00:05:17,083
understanding how to use the market to 
your advantage will serve you well.
