Trusted 3rd Party/Collateral holding service. My rates: Whichever is the greater of 100mil or 1% of the isk value of the collateral/brokered isk.
Background: There are many occasions in EVE where someone needs to transfer isk between two parties who do not necessarily trust one another. There are also situations where folks will occasionally want collateral for a loan or debt but the person receiving the loan doesn't want to just hand the collateral to the person giving them the loan.
In these situations is where a trusted 3rd party comes in handy. The trusted 3rd party is a person who both parties agree to trust. The collateral or isk is placed with the 3rd party in 'escrow' and is held until satisfactory completion of the deal by both parties. If the deal is 'broken' in some way the trusted 3rd party will release the collateral/isk to the injured party as part of the agreement.
For example: If you are buying a super-carrier or titan from someone you can't just dock in station and trade it. There's a lot to transferring the supercap that involves a lot of trust on both sides. In this case you generally don't want to just hand the guy selling you the ship billions of isk before it is in your hands. Likewise he isn't going to want to give you the ship without the isk. The solution is simple: A 3rd party who both people can trust.
The service I am offering is simple. For any transaction requiring a 3rd party I am willing to broker the deal. The terms are simple:
I will charge whichever is greater of 100,000,000 isk or 1% of the transaction/collateral. I will hold the money/items in escrow until such time as both parties agree that the deal is satisfactory, at which time the isk will be paid to the appropriate party (depending on type of deal). In cases of breach the isk/items will, likewise, be paid/transfered/liquidated in the appropriate manner.
Example:
- A buys super from BA transfers full price + 100 mil or 1% of purchase price (whichever is greater) to me.
- I will document the transaction on a shared google doc spreadsheet that both parties will have access to.
- I will hold that isk until the buyer indicates he has the ship he purchased and it is safely out of the system where he purchased it.
- I will be told when and where the transaction is to take place so that I can move an alt there to observe it.
- Once I have observed the transaction take place and the purchased ship safely jump away I will transfer the isk (less my fee) to the seller.
- Transaction is complete.
If the seller attempts to reneg on the deal once isk is held the isk will be returned to the buyer, less my fee and I will also out them, their corp and their alliance on the crime and punishment and eve-general forums as scammers and organizations that support scammers.
A similar process will be available for collateral situations.
NOTE: At this time I can hold blueprints/bpc's/whatever as collateral but the infrastructure to allow pilots to continue to research them while they're being held is not yet in place. I'm working on that and will update this post when that is available. I am able, however, to hold BPO's/BPC's as collateral and research them FOR you.
Who the heck are you anyway? Why should I trust you? Anyone wishing to verify or validate my reputation can find posts by me in Market Discussion where I've been involved with numerous successful bonds, I've bought, and sold, billions of isk of shares/bonds and I've held positions in several of the MD's advisory boards.
Fly safe folks and feel free to contact me if you wish to use me as a trusted 3rd party. I can be reached via eve-mail which I check frequently on EVE-Gate, via my Phone and in-game.

Why should we trust you/Who are you? As I mentioned above I've got some pretty extensive background in the Market Discussion forum. Beyond that I am:
- An alliance leader. Running off with your money wouldn't exactly sit well with my alliance. In fact one of our rules is 'no scamming' (and I wrote it and enforce it)
- I am the CEO of a corporation that's been around for 3 years now. Granted the start of it was just an alt corp but now I have over 100 pilots that rely on me to lead a quality corporation. I would never do anything to hurt them.
- My personal ethics were drilled into me from a young age by my father. His most memorable words to me were: "You are only as good as your word". I feel that's true both in real life and here in EVE. In a world where nobody trusts anyone your word, your good name, is more important than all the isk you could ever obtain.
- I'm not exactly a poor pilot myself. Between liquid isk and personal assets I'm personally sitting on over 20 or 30 billion isk of my own. I really have no reason, or need, to run off with someone else's isk.
- Taram has been my main since 2005. Before then I only played EVE on trial accounts after the beta ended (in which I was also named Taram). My trial account characters were all named Taram as well (feel free to do an eve search. Every Taram that predates Taram Caldar is actually one of my trial accounts that I popped in on. Honestly I still kick myself for not just re-activating the original "Taram" when I finally bought the game in 2005 but that's water under the bridge now.... ahh well.
Edit: No idea who the guy above is, he's not an alt of mine. Any of my corp-mates can verify that. I have 2 accounts and 6 characters. None of them by that name. Anyone wishing to broker through me will be provided with limited api's for both my accounts to prove my identity. I've also reported his post to GM's and requested it's removal.
Thanks again for your time.

If you cant get ahold of me for Noir. 3rd party services, Taram is pretty good I guess ;p
In seriousness Taram is extremly trustworthy. He's the only person I've ever transferred CEO to and when i asked for it back he did it no problems. ---

I've know Taram pretty much since I started playing eve. He was the first person to invest in one of my MD bonds and has consistently been a voice of calm and measured reason within the MD investment market. Taram has provided various services to the MD community, including, but not limited to, sitting as a director on the Audit Fund board with me. Every interaction I have had with him has suggested that he has a pretty solid ethical core and I have never had any reason to doubt his integrity.
I say all this as a competitor in the third-party market.
In short, Taram is a great guy (but my fees are lower ).

Edited by: 1Gordon Gekko1 on 10/08/2011 18:15:28 I flew with Taram in Warped Aggression for around 8 months. During that time, as a high-level director, I interacted with Taram on many the inner workings of the alliance. While we may not always have agreed on the same course of action, I would never doubt his integrity, and would both use him myself and recommend him whole-heartedly for any high-end brokerage needs.

I know Taram since 2008 when i joined Noir and later in WA.
We also happen to be in different situations in between, for example where we were trying to kill each other in Providence.
Over the years, Taram has proven to be a trustworthy person managing numerous situations of assets / isk implication, a player with great integrity and not last a respected leader.
Good luck Taram with your new activity !
Cheers, EEA
