Why are you lot so lenient? I've just spelled out for you how much a regular trader makes in the space of twenty minutes, have some self respect, pirates!
Seriously, if you consider a demand over 3 mil to be lame on a character that makes that much in 5 minutes flat, you need to reconsider who's being the tight-ass. I had one trader run from me when I demanded 2 million. I chased him all over Kusari space for so long, he could've made 20 million in the mean time safe in the knowledge I wouldn't hassle him again. But instead he proceeded to run and hide and eventually log off just to stiff me.
