If you don't feel like lugging ore around all the time, there's also the official interhouse trade route.

Valley Forge, Pennsylvania --> Renzu Shipyard, Shikoku --> Versailles Station, Ile-de-France --> Freiburg Station, Stuttgart --> Birmingham Station, Manchester --> Planet Erie, Pennsylvania.

Pick up and sell the commodities without icon at each. Their infocards also tell you where to go. It makes good money, almost on par with ore hauling, and provides plenty of variety in locations.

Rightyo, you mean the big expensive event item? Missed that first time round.
