Newcomer / Intro Where in the heck are the Material Traders?

Using INARA and searching nearly a half dozen Extraction/Refinery systems listed near WOLF 397, I've come up with nothing. (3 hours of "grinding"). Up to now, I've had a blast playing this sim, even following clues to find terrorists, but this ridiculous searching for material traders is boring as hell. I thought maybe I'd find a material trader and sell off some of the more common materials I've gathered, but the process of finding one is ridiculously tedious.
 

Hope that helps and Happy Christmas 🎅

EDIT: select the 'nearest' tab in Inara, then search for a system, then choose the facilities/faction-states you're looking for. In that order.

Like I stated above. I've been using INARA, in the exact way you described and did it for about 6 systems listed near Wolf 397, visiting all the stations in those systems, no less, and not finding a material trader in any of them.

Ahhh, I suspect that you may have chosen 'Material Trader' at the top, then searched for your system, at which point the page resets to its default 'show nearest Independent Systems'. If you then select 'Material Trader' again you should get to the page I linked, which shows the exact stations and what sort of Material Trader is there.
 
Strange.... Does your list look the same?

Go into the galmap and filter by services, select the type you want and plot a route direct to the station. That information doesn't rely on other players having been there its live.

OK, Doing it that way resulted in the list that "Max" posted above. I wasn't getting it that way before.... Now to actually see if Pirsan Station @ Wolf 363 has something. Hope it works. Thx.
 
They are one of the groups under the Contacts option of the Station Services menu.

Btw... Happy Christmas to everybody doing customer service here... when they should be drinking Eggnog in their underpants :D
Far too early here to be that formally dressed, still warm flannel nightshirt time.
 
Can I just slip a question here? Concerning Inara, I played with this nearest function but failed to find what I search. I am trying to find a way to find the nearest high tech station that is Li-Yong Rui.... am I missing something?
 
Is six hours enough time to barbecue a whole goose or turkey?

Oh.... never tried that before, in the oven I'd calculate 20 min/pound at around 80 degrees celsius, but that's slow cooking... Good Luck with that! ... Raining buckets here....
