as you have stated - wools, hides and other stackable are a good start. You can also make a few pec on Ores, Enmatters, Animal oils and pixie/goblin armour parts too!

Around Swamp camp and Port Atlantis are probably the best places to start trading, because most of the hunters and miners that frequent these places usually don't have enough loot to put on auction without the auction fee eating all their profit, so you can offer them a good service by buying for a few % below what you can sell it for.

Trading is a slow and sometimes frustrating profession - but making 1% or 2% on your capital per day is possible when you put in the hard work.

The pew pecs will turn into a few peds that will turn into many peds... but it is slow so you have to have patience.
Basically all players try to make profit in EU and for that to happen someone has to loose peds.
But in time when you have built up your bankroll you can start trading higher value stuff.

yea ive never deposited traded my whole career of 2 years, went from 0 to now about 4k net worth. I started on ores and got a good network so i always had people selling to me and then i had certain crafters and some big ore buyers that i wud sell to, now i trade most nything i see a good deal on, armor mid level guns faps bp's esi's, u just have to know the market and yes ive taken some hits trading but that teaches you what to do and what not to do. and also with ores if u get a good enough base people will still come to you when they hit big ones, i had a guy sell me 6k narc once jsut cause i was reliable and alwayhs available when he needed me. Remember trading is a service not an industry, customer service is big thats what keeps people coming back.

So in 2 years you've made what you could have made in 1 or 2 weeks of a real job? thats not my style of "entertainment"
