OKàso I jumped back into the game for a few minutes and I immediately got a chat requestàguess who? The guy who borked the contract.

He admitted that he screwed up the contract, he meant for it to be a private contract to one of his alts and was asking for me to return it to him. He even offered to let me keep 1 million ISK if I returned the rest with all the modules.

HereÆs the brief chat log, I changed his name to Bob because I donÆt know if IÆm allowed to post names here:

Bob > Look, I screwed up the contract and just want the items back. Just send it back as a contract and keep 1m for yourself for the trouble.
Alota Iskies > I dunno, IÆm prettyhappy with how this contract worked out for me.
(slight delay)
Bob > How about you contract all the items back to me and keep the ISK? ThatÆs 4 million isk that you get for just creating a contract.

At this point I started wondering about the items, when I looked at the list originally it seemed like just junk and there wasnÆt really anything of value. So I hoped over to the station to take a closer look (3 jumps) while heÆs keeps chatting at me about how it was a simple mistake.

It turns out there were 3 small cargo containers in the contract, I just assumed they were empty. They werenÆt.

Container 1 had a few BPOs in it. Nothing major, one of each shuttle, Mining Drone I, and a few other ship components. I did a quick tally against the local market and discover that the Mining Drone I BPO is selling for 17 million ISK in the region. The other BPOs in the container a probably valued at 2 million ISK total. So 19 million ISK in BPOsà

Container 2 had a few T2 ship components (Shield Power Relay IIs, Cap Recharger IIs, and a Heat Dissipation Amplifier II) û approx 5 million isk value. But that wasnÆt allàthere were also skillbooks: Laboratory Operation, Mass Production, Mining Barge, and Production Efficiency. ThatÆs about another million worth.

Container 3 was indeed empty, I guess that's the one I saw originally and just assumed the other 2 were.

In the loot itself, I also see 7 Small Tractor Beams. ThatÆs about 10 million, plus the other stuff which I havenÆt sorted through yet.

So my original valuation of this was way off, I thought it came out to about 4 million including the Wreathe. But it seems to be closer to about 50 million isk worth of stuff in it.

So I go back to the chat window and he keeps asking me to return the items and our chat turns into this:

Bob > Come on man I just want me stuff back
Alota Iskies > You know thereÆs some interesting stuff in these containers
Bob > à
(another dramatic pause)
Bob > What do you want?
Alota Iskies > Well, by my estimate thereÆs 50 million worth of stuff in here. So how about we say 30 million and call it a day?
(30 seconds pass)
Alota Iskies > Hello?
Bob > **** YOU!!!!!

He then leaves the private chat lol.

So IÆm sitting on about 50 million worth of inventory when I originally thought I had much less than that. I honestly didnÆt know it was worth this much, most of it looks to be just mission loot. Lots of ammo, some projectile turrets, shield/armor hardeners, etc. ItÆs pretty random, so I just thought it was junk.

Yay? lol

Screenshot, anybody want to buy some of this stuff? lol
