Take a limited amount of isk and through market trading increase that isk over time. With a very small amount of skill training you can be working the market quiet effectively. At first you may only be trading a few million isk, with patience your isk pile is going to grow. If your trading in bulky things like minerals your going to need an industrial, other wise I stick to a simple frigate, they travel much faster. For example, implants are extremely small. Though be careful and don't fly afk or carry really expensive items other wise someone could suicide gank you up for those expensive implants.
The Skills:
Trade - Knowledge of the market and skill at manipulating it. Active buy/sell order limit increased by 4 per level of skill.
Broker Relations - Proficiency at driving down market-related costs. Each level of skill grants a 5% reduction in the costs associated with setting up a market order, which usually come to 1% of the order's total value. This can be further influenced by the player's standing towards the owner of the station where the order is entered.
The Equipment:
The Tools:
