I.) Bond request
Serra Industries Corporation [SERRA]
1.) Overall information
[SERRA] is a one man trading corporation. I am looking to raise a bond of 1B ISK for duration of one month (31 days). I will be buying back bonds in one month at base price + 15% (total payback of 1.15B ISK).
2.) Background
I am playing EVE for around 2 months now. Initially I was playing a combat oriented character but I soon realized that I could find better "PVP action" in other games. Trading however was very appealing to me and I enjoy being a trader a lot. I terminated my other account and I am now playing exclusively on this trader character. As for trading itself, I started with a capital of around 40M ISK and I managed to earn over 400M profit in a couple of weeks. I don't have any alts on this account, nor do I have any other active accounts - I only trade with this character. I do a mix of station and region trading without hauling cargo around.
3.) Why bond request?
There are two reasons for this. Main reason is that I bought a GTC with ISK today which reduced my budget to roughly 100M ISK. And the second reason is that I will be able to raise much better profits with larger capital.
4.) Risks
a.) Scam. I cannot provide collateral since I don't have any assets. At this point I can only give my word that this is not a scam. I tried to cover everything in as much details as possible, along with corp signature so you can see that I am serious about this.
b.) Burning out / getting borred. I am trading for some time now and it's still fun. Furthermore I have a decent amount of free time in upcoming days, I also recently returned from holidays so I will be active for the duration of this bond.
c.) Risky trades. I don't do any market manipulation and I trade with many different items so there is almost no risk of losing money.
d.) Losing cargo. I don't haul items so there is no fear of losing any items or ships.
5.) Security
If needed I am willing to provide my full API key of my account to a trusted auditor of investors' choice.
6.) Back-up plan
If for any reason at any time something goes wrong I will sell all the remaining items, cancel orders and return ISK back to investors.
7.) Additional notes
My main language is not English so I hope I didn't make any severe grammar mistakes. I will also be glad to answer any question either here on forums or via in-game mail or convo.

II.) FAQ
Can someone vouch for you? Sadly I haven't made any serious friends that could vouch for me.
Why so low amount (1B ISK)? Mainly because I currently don't need more ISK and profits from 1B bond will be enough to get me back on my feet. The second reason is that I can't offer much security so it would be harder to raise more capital.
Can I transfer my bonds? You can transfer your bonds freely. However - keep in mind that the person who sends me back bonds upon venture ending will receive the ISK.
Can I sell bonds back prior to venture ending? It is possible to sell bonds back to me prior to venture ending. However I won't be buying bonds within first 10 days. After 10 days you can send me bonds back and you will receive full base value within 48 hours. If you owned shares for 20 days or more you will receive back full base value + 5%.
Your portrait is still "!"?! Are you sure you have the skills and experiences needed for this? This character is about 2 months old and I have 2.5M SP. Needless to say there is 1.6M SP invested in trade skills. I have currently 81 max orders (until venture starts the number will be 113). Furthermore, an auditor will be able to confirm that this character is indeed more than capable of trading.
Do you have enough time for trading in the next month? Like I said, I have enough free time in the next couple of weeks, also I can log online to update orders several times per day so I am positive that this venture will be successful. I also don't haul cargo so I don't need to spend a lot of time online.
Will you be posting any updates of this venture? Yes, I will post short weekly updates so investors can see how am I doing.
Can you tell a little about yourself? I am 21 years old student from Slovenia. Currently I am on a summer break so I decided to start this venture. I enjoy reading books, drawing, cycling, swimming and of course playing some games on computer.
Will you be doing more ventures in the future? No, I currently don't have any plans for future ventures - this will most likely be a one time thing.

Just because you diversify doesn't mean you cannot lose money. Furthermore, trading is almost always 'market manipulation' in one form or another. That's why you make ISK from it.

Well you are right, but still - from 2 months of trading I always managed to make profit from every single item I traded.

Maybe today is noob's day or something but each of the first 3 people that posted reservations doesn't have more than 5 posts so far in their record. Isn't that funny as hell? I won't say more but I'm eagerly awaiting your expansion whenever it will come.

There, posting a small "proof" that I don't have any alts on my account. My first account is frozen so I can't post a screenshot.
Also, everyone above has bonds reserved.

Well, don't get me wrong the above reservations seem a little funny, and YGR likes to stir things up a bit some times. However I do understand where he is coming from!
The post of the screen shot really does not mean anything in the long run, I mean you could have a billion other accounts each with 3 alts in them. So where as its a pretty nice effort, its not really one that's going to convince anyone here!
Good luck and Fly safe

Well I understand people fear for their money and want to be sure.
I am willing to provide full API keys from my retired account as well as this account to an auditor.

As far as I know trial accounts can't post here so if I would have more accounts I would just buy some more GTC and sell those - I wouldn't bother writing up a 2 hour essay for a 1B bond.

I know I promised not to say more but did anyone tell you that you have a very nice signature? 
And that you're learning things very fast? After 2 months playtime I was still running missions / daytrading. You're already into the industry side of the game.

Just checked it out and my first account was created 5/13/2008. So it's more like 3 months I guess. And name of my corp is a bit miss-leading. I only trade, not much industry involved. 
Anyway I'm off for today, will answer more questions in the morning. And hopefully we will be able to find an auditor.

Irrational Exhuberance is still strong after the last scam. Not saying this is a scam but exclamation marks should not be asking for anything in the billions vicinity unsecured.
I don't care if they can make that much isk on their own or not, but it's incredibly easy to build scam characters for precisely this purpose. The OP should be maybe looking for 400m or so not 1b. |

It is clearly a scam aimed at providing the OP with some quick money for GTCs. I am a little sorry to say this but the MD crowd has gained a reputation of being too gullible otherwise such events would not occur so often.

Edited by: Naya Sky on 10/08/2008 01:13:26 Well that's it - I am closing this venture down. After some long thinking I decided that I will take a break from EVE.
I expected that I would be flamed for this but this is just a bit too much for me. I know that people don't want to trust others with their money - especially in MMO games, I did play a fair share of them and I know how it's like out there. But still, people are jumping to conclusions a bit too fast and we didn't even have an audit and I am already "scamming for some GTC's" and investing in my own venture with alts.
As for exclamation mark - my first char got portrait after 10 days of playing, whilst this one was created on June 13th and I am still exclamation mark (after 2 months).
Too bad I bought GTC today, a waste of playing time. Anyway I have around 70M ISK still on my account and another 10-20M ISK worth of items. I will sell them cheap tomorrow and send equal shares to John Agrippa, Zaqas, Genius Eyecandy, Mike'P and Calgorac. It should net you for about 16-17M each which is like you would really invest. I'll send money when I wake up (11am probably).
And Genius Eyecandy I'll write you an EVE-mail tomorrow as well - I am to tired to do this now.
And YouGotRipped I'll contract you a brand new Apotheosis - never flown for free. It's in Minmatar space so you will have to go there to pick it up.

tbh you got off rather lightly as far as the probing goes. If you couldn't stand up to this then chances are running an IPO wasn't for you anyway.
But why quit the game over it? I mean 100mil is more then enough to get back on your feet with trading, you should know that because you started with less yourself. Just do it on your own.

No, it's either 1B isk in small unmarked bills or he'll quit. We have to choose now. TBH I think that "deleting chars" would have worked much better in this context.
