=====Market Hubs=====

----

=====Overview=====
Market hubs are centralized player-run markets. They generally have the baseline price for products, with prices getting higher and higher the farther you are away from a market hub -- reaching their peak in [[training:game_mechanics:system_security#null_security_space|0.0]] space. More importantly, they have a far broader range of available products available than most areas of space.

It is **always** a good idea to have at least one throw-away [[eve:industry:skill_plans:market_alt|market alt]] that does nothing but sit in a station at a high traffic system, for checking prices, selling/buying items that you need, or playing the market. An informed consumer is a smart consumer. [[http://eve-central.com/home/| Eve-Central]] is a web site that does this for you, but their prices are often out of date by hours or days, sometimes drastically so --nevertheless, that site is still a good baseline for when you are in a hurry or feeling lazy.

Typically, each Empire region will have its own main market hub station with maybe one or two smaller hubs located in a system with a lot of mission agents.
