I am a member of a new corp and want to buy my way into co-owner. The corp is slowly getting new members and I want to buy into the corp before it gets much bigger. How do you set the price of shares of a corp? Corp assasts/# of shares = corp share price? I have been playing eve for 8 months but never started a corp or bought any shares of any corp I have been in so don't know any of those aspects of the uper mangament dealings.
I was going to post this in the corp forum but got a message my corp need to have 10 or more members.
Sorry for the noob questions but thanks for the help.

you arrange it between the owner and yourself, but nothing is to prevent him from screwing you over in 1 of many ways so you have to be able to trust him, or consider your investment as a gamble.
Also shares by themselves do nothing unless you have a majority.

Any majority vote can issue new shares. Those issued shares will be in the hand of the corp for the CEO to distribute to whoever he wants.
So, yeah, one of the millions of ways you can get screwed, like the poster above said.

Don't waste your money is my advice: in-game shares are worthless. Few corps issue shares and those that do often regret it and end up closing and reforming once they lose control of them. Obviously the same applies if they sell a load of shares to members and don't want to pay dividends.

I would never give anyone any sort of power in my corp just because they paid for it. In fact, trying to do so just screams "corp thief". Especially with a name like that. If you want to get in corp leadership, work your way up like everyone else.

Just remember that your shares mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING unless you have 51% of them. Sadly, this is one of the broken corp mechanics. My advice: don't do it.

There are actually corps in the game run by people who trust each other, though you won't hear much about that in the forums. If you trust your CEO and corpmates, invest in the corp. If you don't, keep your isk. But you're not really buying ownership in the corp in any meaningful way unless you have a clear agreement with the CEO about that. The CEO may not pay dividends or give you any benefits for your ownership.
