Trading seminar interest check

Posted on 2009-08-29 by Ecliptic Rift

After kicking around the idea with a few folks in the “Ecliptic Rift Public” channel, I have started some conceptual work for a series of seminars on trading, market PVP, and related industrial activities in New Eden. The business model still needs some work regarding whether, whom, and how much to charge). But I’d like to find out first whether the community would have an interest in attending such a seminar.

Example topics would include:

  • Station trading
  • Spread, volume, and location
  • Trade skill explanations
  • Hauling strategies
  • Market PvP strategies
  • Contracts
  • Investing

If I move forward with this, I expect to invite guest lecturers for particular topics and alternate points of view as well.

So what do you think? Would you consider attending this sort of seminar?

    This is a great Idea. I would love to learn something like this. I also would like to get a good video guide/tutorial on this. My website, http://www.tweveit.com, specializes in EVE Tutorials. Id be very interested in working with you on a video for my site.

    I’m sure there would be interest in this. When I first started playing eve I found a Corp that offered a trading course. Of course it was free and they invested in me instead of the othe way around :-) .

    I’d be interested in doing a guest lecture if it would fit into your program.

    Cool! And I’m totally unsure about the business bits of it. I do not expect to charge Ecliptic Rift members, of course, heh. :)

    I would be interested. I have a friend that I’m trying to drag into Eve, and he would be interested, moreso than me.

    I would think 3-5M ISK per lecture hour would be reasonable.

    You mention guest lecturers. The only thing that I have experience with that might be even remotely worth possibly considering presenting, would be industry, logistics, and security in a corporation.

    I’m still in. I look forward to learning a few new tricks (or even and old one – likely its new to me). I may even bring you a shiny, red apple on the first day of class…

    I’d be attending this. Although I’d be there in the form of my trading alt. My interest in this way of earning ISK got sparked recently and has stuck around.

    Sessions about other stuff I would be willing to attend, not sure about trading though.

    Myrhial, I have a side idea for you. Will PM you on the Chatsubo.

    Tony, what other sorts of topics would interest you? I don’t really intend to go down the standard combat route, for any number of reasons.

    I’ve started making notes about possible guest lecturers (including all of you that have volunteered here) and LOTS of notes about the format, setting, and presentation. This may work out fairly awesome.
