I think there was a little debate a day or two ago concerning 'Starter Money' for Starter traders. I think it's important that traders get a little jump-start with the size of their wallet so they can actually be called traders.
If a trader has too little money, he / she will be very limited to what he / she can buy and sell.
This trader will probably be frowned upon, and will be dominated by other traders who have much more money.

Who would you go to? A big-time trader who can buy or sell anything you want to buy or sell for reasonable prices, or a small-time trader who can buy your items for cheaper prices and sell for extortionate prices.
I certainly know who I would go to ICly. Every rouble counts ICly in the Zone. Of-Course in the real world I would support the small time businesses instead of supporting the big-time corporations; but remember, this is the Zone. If your character's a bleeding-heart carebear then sure, I can see why you would support the small-time guys.

Trader Ranks.
My second suggestion is that traders have ranks, one star to five stars. Each star depends on what the trader's capabilities are when it comes to trading. Each trader would have their 'Star Rank' in their title so players can see what the trader's capabilities are.
Well, there go my suggestions.
Thanks for reading, comments? Discussion?
You have to build up your network of trusted buyers.
No one said i was easy to be a trader, you need to fight a little bit for it too.
I would go to a bigger trader if it meant getting what I wanted.

That sums it up.
I don't see a reason for ranks.
I started with 270 RU and got to 90,000 same day so I don't think we need starter money. Note: I had a big buyer.
We could have ranks to limit what new traders could sell, a new trader in the zone wont have instant access to be able to sell exo-skeletons but a experienced trader would have contacts and all, we could limit the items new traders could sell, then again this could cause a bunch of angry protests.
