To the OP, it can be very rewarding sometimes on escrow camping, however I find you have to be VERY quick on the button to claim the ones that come up. I also find weekends are the best to get some nice freebies, Booze 'n' Escrow = mistakes ------------------------------------------------- AWMCorp is Recruiting

Except there are people running escrow scripts, which will make the average joe have about zero chance to claim before them.

You very rarely get freebies. There are however, more common and more profitable mistakes that people make.

you can make a lot of ISK on escrow. you will never get the free escrows - they vanish amazingly fast (escrow scripts?), but you can easily get decent deals. a lot of people put good faction things on for 100-200mil less than they should, and you can whack em straight back on at a more "correct" price. You should be able to claim things put up too low within 10-20 seconds.
only problem is it is as boring as hell, and if anyone else is watching at the same time as you, you will have mere seconds to react. You've also got to have a good knowledge of the prices - if something goes up, you have to decide whether its worth reselling instantly, or someone else will get it.
i did it a bit, but i hated it - it is the most boring thing imaginable

i've had some luck to get 0.0 isk escrows,they are rare indeed. But i don't think a lot of people run those scripts that are mentioned above here. From my experience i'm not the only one getting 0.0 isk escrows occasionally. and as stated aboVe here somewhere,they are indeed most common during the weekends Ö Sig By Brother Benthor Solarflares is recruiting,contact ingame!! |

Camping? Boring and sad. But keeping an eye open when you browse escrow for some stuff? Good idea. I missed a Cap Recharger II for 1.65 mill by a few seconds the other day...

It's totally lame and the people that do it need to be spanked hard on the bottom with a Graham Gooch cricket bat. Honestly, you are basically relying on a ****e interface tripping up the unwary to provide you with an income. If you can't get by any other way, I'd say you were playing the wrong game.

I made roughly 20b from escrow mistakes. Not much, but helps you getting started. Thanks for making my day :)

Oh god Burnhard is back.
Its not really a "****e interface" when it warns you about 57 times before you place an escrow.
But back to the point, I prefer finding really good deals on escrow, rather than 0.0 ISK deals. Those are boring--I like the 6.5m dominix and the 300k carrier BPC.

What is this? Like macro miners on escrow? Gosh, how many lamers are out there trying to gain an edge sinking to such low degradable levels. Escrow scripts? No idea what it is, but it sound like another out of game mechanic to gain an advantage... such lameness.

Escrow scripts can claim 0.00 ISK escrows within a fraction of a second. There are ways to combat this, and there are people who do it.
Real escrow scripts have not been comfirmed yet, most likely because the people who know the mechanics well enough to create them know that they are easy to detect.

20billion from escrow mistakes eh? Unless you found some T2 bpos for 0 isk, I find that hard to believe...

It makes me very sad to think that people are even using scrips in game to get the best bargains from escrow.
Whatever happend to people just playing the game for real, and maybe just stumbling on somebody's mistake?
Where will it all end I ask? Where will it all end?
