Edited by: Julianus Soter on 17/04/2011 05:34:57 Edited by: Julianus Soter on 17/04/2011 05:33:55 Good evening pilots of the Placid region, and across the broader frontier systems. I'm pleased to announce the formation of a new market for you to purchase the latest and most advanced ammunition and combat drones, to fill all of your combat needs.
This new lowsec bazaar is located in the Agoze IX-2 Center for Advanced Studies School, centrally located between the Verge Vendor and Placid lowsec routes.
This is just the first iteration of the establishment on the market, but if successful, our analysts predict an expansion to a much more comprehensive lineup of equipment and products, ranging from laser crystals to advanced combat boosters.
Moira. Corporation is not operating alone in this endeavor, and we thank our enthusiastic and entrepreneurial partners for participating in this initiative.

Low-sec huh? Good for avoiding CONCORD, but bad for business.
Piracy is a big concern. I don't think many people are going to risk hauling stuff to Agoze when there are other, safer markets.
Low-sec prices are usually high compared to safer high-sec markets. How much of a mark-up are we talking here?
Is this a free-port, or Federation only?

The market services are listed on the SEC NEOCOM market, and are, of course, available to all. Our target market is the growing number of lowsec and combat-capable capsuleers that need a more accessible market for their day to day needs. We're also expanding to the exploration base, with probe launchers and assortment of probes.
We have faith that as pilots become more comfortable dealing with combat threats in lowsec, they'll rely on the market hub to resupply and rearm. Humanity needs capsuleers outside of highsec, as well. And lowsec remains depopulated and untamed in many constellations. A significant opportunity for a savvy pilot.

Thanks for not answering any of my questions.
Good to see Moira helping out the pirate community.
Savvy?

The dynamic of lowsec often pits highsec capsuleers versus lowsec capsuleers. Pilots, seeking to resupply to continue anti-pirate operations, must often return behind the highsec gates. This provides pirates and the like the opportunity to camp these gates, thus creating a defensive perimeter few feel comfortable in breaching.
If a market is established in lowsec, and non-pirate capsuleers be encouraged to populate the area, then a more advantageous strategic situation may emerge. Highsec gates can no longer be the sole defence against anti-pirate patrols, and the pirate's main advantages are neutralized.
If I was unclear earlier, I apologize. The market is a free port. Not only because it's impossible to regulate who supports the federation and who does not, when placing items on the open market, but because we see the value of independent capsuleers and the opportunity they bring to improving the economy of the Placid region.

The development of trade in the region can only be a good thing. I hope the opportunities inherent in the low security market graciously provided to you by the Intaki are wholly taken into account. You can sell stuff out there that's hard to come by elsewhere. Indeed, for too long this opportunity has been overlooked by capsuleers or any parties outside of the Serpentis, really.
Also, the nasty pirates roaming around push prices up. Convenient for you. Glad to be in business with you, sir.

I don't know how many times I'll have to say this, but station markets are free ports, available to all capsuleers, and all goods. You can sell anything, buy anything on the market. Moira. takes no responsibility for any goods offered at the Station, besides those we are selling on our corporate market orders.

Namas Mr Soter.
This is good news for Agoze and the Viriette constellation as a whole. I applaud the efforts of your corporation and partners in seeking to improve the local economy.
I'm hopeful that the ongoing success of the Intaki 5-5 tradehub will spread to this venture in neighbouring Agoze.
With these two systems the focus of commercial and trade projects I'm confident the local economy and population will benefit greatly.
The Intaki Prosperity Initiative has learned valuable lessons during the months of hard work and investment fostering the Intaki 5-5 trade hub. During this time solid trading relationships have been established with a number of Placid based corporations, both industrialists and merchants themselves. I strongly recommend you look to our experiences so that an Agoze trading centre can flourish in the same way.
I wish you good profits and safe trading.

Yes, sounds eminently sensible indeed! I appreciate how you have embraced the region's prevalent morality.

This commendable effort proves that trade does not need high public investments to fourish. Large areas of Placid have been left to develop by their own accord for a long time and now we see how this far-sighted Federal policy is starting to bear fruit. New trade hubs and other economic activities are constantly spawning into existence.
It is good to remember that historically speaking almost the whole volume of space currently known as the Federation has once been a low security area. The early expansionists were brave and courageous men and women, always ready to face the unknown. This is the spirit our country needs, and it makes me proud to see that we have not yet lost the qualities that once built up our greatness.
It would like to offer my sincere approval for your enterprise. Agoze is probably an attractive location for this kind of business, as the traffic from Loes and Ostingele merges there. The next time I have official business in the Viriette constellation, I will certainly visit your shop.

Good business sense. People getting their knickers in a twist over the fact that you're selling to "bad people" as well are invited to fully engage their grey matter.. unless you're in some unlikely kind of monopoly position, your enemies are going to arm themselves one way or another. They might as well pay you for the privilege, yes?

This is good.
I'll be watching how the trading goes in Agoze to see if it's worth me expanding from Intaki or not.
Will you be releasing trading figures and statistics so that an informed decision can be made?

Present value of all Agora buy orders, 32.5 milion isk.
Value of sales thus far executed in Agoze, 9-2 station: 414 million isk.
Thus far, market has proven to be a significant success. Profit margin of 11% on average for all goods has been recorded, while still beating the regional average.
Moira will be expanding this initiative in the coming months.

A pirate market... hmm.
Is there a demand for this sort of thing? Like, are there -10.0 security pilots who *can't* source core empire goods reliably?

They do somewhat, despite being such adorably tiny numbers, however I can't help but think that your profit margins could be improved with a bit of creatively applied aggression.
Problem: Pirates with -10.0 sec can't get empire-produced goods reliably enough.
Solution: Create a market accessible to those who cannot enter empire.
Better solution: Identify all other suppliers of empire goods to low-sec, and either strangle or co-opt them.
Hmm, I'll give this some thinking. I smell profit here.

Edited by: Julianus Soter on 03/06/2011 03:04:44 Considering the volume traded monthly in the Placid Region, the Agoze Agora market has achieved remarkable market share in such a short period of time.
Our purpose is to provide high quality equipment to pilots who simply don't operate in highsec. Those that wish to make use of the less colonized territories. As always, Moira has no corporate policy on the security status of any pilot purchasing equipment from the Agora market, and sales to such individuals in no way condones their activities.

Feels good to wash your hands, doesn't it ;)
Hmm. A thought occurs.
90 per cent of the capsuleer population active today still retains their self-preservation instincts from their pre-ascension meatbag phase, to a sufficient degree as to completely avoid low-sec systems. But, a handful still clearly brave that terrifying CONCORD warning about entering 0.4 to deliver their goods, and another handful produces goods in low/null regardless of fear.
Now... with a few centrally coordinated groups of malfeasants stationed at critical empire > lowsec junctions, and truly dedicated to their task... one could engineer the specter of certain death to hang over that 90 per cent plus change, ensuring fewer and fewer of them dare to cross the border where CONCORD will no longer hold your hand. Theoretically, you could achieve a near-total strangulation of goods between empire and low-sec.
Now, a dumb businessman would use such a stranglehold to jack up prices. A smart businessman would use discounts to get all those lovely pirates, now hopefully more dependent on your goods than before, to do what the businessman wants them to do. Expand chokepoint operations, for example...

Unfortunately, you assume there are sufficient pirates with the desire to stare at stargates all day, at all of the crossings.
The theorycrafting is nice, but not very applicable to the current dynamic.

That's the difference between you and I, my friend.
You adapt to the current dynamic; I merely create a new one.

See this is actually a worthwhile use of Moira's time and energy. If you concentrated more on this kind of thing and spent less time interfering with and baiting against NRDS freespacers in the course of their business and activities your corporation would be in a considerably better position in the Placid region. Pure free-market commerce is something I can definitely applaud.
I'll take the opportunity to suggest you add some additional product lines to the Agoze market while I'm here:
Drake class Battlecruisers Heavy Assault Launcher II Large Shield Extender II Invulnerability Field II Stasis Webbifier II Warp Scrambler II Ballistic Control System II Damage Control II Power Diagnostic System II Caldari Navy Faction Terror Assault Missiles Terror Rage Assault Missiles (T2) Hobgoblin II Light Drones Hornet ECM light Drones Medium EW shield resistence rigs Medium Thermal Shield resistence rigs Thermic Paste
If you feel up to the tast of supplying this equipment to the Agoze market I'm sure you'll be able to report a significant increase in your throughput and profit margins in the next update.
The Free Captains of the Star Fraction are always happy to buy from our enemies!

400m investment over 6 weeks and all you take home is 40m?
That is pretty atrocious lol.
In our minmatar arms campaign I was turning over ~600m a week with 15% profit.
