Market to Market is a retired trading post located on the ST-9 outpost, a space station in the Xiphunga system within the capsuleers' territories of the Metropolis region in the video game Eve Online. The outpost served as a key location for capsuleers, who are the game's space-traveling, futuristic human-like space-faring characters.

The trading post specialized in the exchange of ships, with buying and selling allowed for various vessels and their required skills. This type of market served to help players acquire ships without the need for manufacturing or directly purchasing vessels from NPCs. Market to Market allowed players to buy and sell these ships among themselves.

Each ship available on Market to Market fell under a particular category, with their prices and gain calculated based on supply and demand. Ships on the market range from Common Level 1 to Common Level 3, with prices in New Eden's monetary standard, the Real and the ancient monetary units used throughout Old Empire space. Receipt of these ships was typically immediate, with sellers completing the transaction and handing over the asset. The trading post also enabled players to transfer ships, resulting in thin conventional curves for these assets' valuations.

Market to Market facilitated capsuleer trade, greatly easing the burden on players who found it difficult to access or manage these assets in the broader market. This fulfillment did, however, raise questions about oversight and market control, due to the potential risks and large sums involved in these transactions. This space-based trading facility possibly enabled lucrative financial operations for traders who held specialized skills in commodities acquisition.
