Ive seen alot of videos on you tube about rare commodities trading and making alot of money from it. but what ive seen from personal experience is I make alot more money locally trading between systems than I do from rare goods. I have a t6 transport and I trade beryllium and crop harvesters between two systems with 104 tons of cargo I make over 100,000 a trip and only jump once or twice to the next system then back. round trip I make over 200,000 in like 5 min. trading rares u have to round up commodities from all over and transport them 160lys away to make half what I make in 5 min trading locally.

Yes.
Rares are a honeypot. T6 and up, you can make more from standard commodities trading, but some people like the risks involved, and the pirates love those people.

I started a thread on a similar subject last week whose conclusion you may find interesting.

im not sure if u mean rares trading is more dangerous than local? I think local trading is more dangerous, because you have about a million dollars worth of local coms in ur ship and if u crash or ur pirated u lose millions. in rare coms they r alot cheaper and less money invested. bnut i do like rare goods trading sometimes.
i liked the link u provided very helpful. like everyone is saying. if u don't have the tonnage and a good fsd rares are the way to go but if u have tonnage then bulk is the way. thanks guys.
