I like to haul on my freighter alt while I'm off doing PvP on this toon, and public contracts are a pain in the butt since I have to be in the same region as the contract.

I'll haul your cargo free of charge with up to $1 billion isk collateral. Unlimited jumps, unlimited trips. I'll never turn down a reward on the courier contract, but it's not required - I will haul for free. The long hauls (many jumps) are my favorite. All high sec of course.

You may think this is a scam because it's free, but if you know anything about courier contracts, you'll know you have no risk as long as the collateral is more than the value of the cargo. No assembled containers or plastic wrap, as that causes a hassle for me. I will then blacklist you and your corp, and will not take anymore contracts from either.

I have a public channel if you'd like to stop on by - "Free Freight". Otherwise, just mail me, private convo me, or just issue me the courier contract.

How is this any different from public contracts? You still have to be in the same region to accept the contract.

If the courier contract is made directly to me, then I don't need to be in the same region to accept it. If it's a public one, then I do.

It's funny that you can't even give away your service.

But if it isnt in the same region you still have to fly to it to pick it up.

I've had a few contracts already, but mostly been dealing with the hassle of public contracts. People are set on Red Frog and have it ingrained in their heads that if it's free, it's a scam. If you know contracts, you know this isn't a scam. I'm keeping busy though. But you always have to keep up on the marketing!



Indeed I do, but that's done with my freighter alt - not with this toon who is an outlaw. This toon is off doing PvP in low sec, while my freighter alt galavants around high sec hauling stuff.

Same as me. My HS freighter alt autopilots all over. I started just getting contracts from the hauler channel. Now I do private contracts exclusively for a mining company which is extra nice because they are all in my local area.

Oh come on guys, it's not that complicated. She's already given you all the hints a monkey would need.

She's a collateral error exploiter, a perfectly valid and profitable business. Tons of people scour public contracts for courier contracts where it's possible that the cargo value is higher than the collateral. Think of it as the bargain basement of Eve.

Problem is, there are enough people doing this that it's hard to compete. Solution? Offer haulage for free, and suddenly you have your own private collection of contracts to sift through at your leisure. All it takes is 1-2 collateral mistakes per month, and the toon is making vastly more than through honest hauling.

No plastic wraps, no containers. Let me see what I'm hauling so I can easily decide which contracts to fail.

No creativity, but the fact that no one sees the play is even sadder.

You give me too much credit Vincenzo. Though there's no way I can prove this, I can assure everyone that I most certainly am not doing this. It's too much work! Lol...I have a hard enough time keeping track of my jumps / m3 / collateral stats. This is just something to do with my freighter alts while I'm off doing other things on this toon.

So that my alt doesn't just sit around while I pay for the subscription. I need the alt to bring me ships and such every now and then, but the rest of the time, he sits around. I can haul things for other people for free to be a nice person and make others lives easier.

Take 30 seconds of my time to do something nice for others that shouldn't cost me more than a few thousand in contract fees...why not?

Price isn't everything. I'd like my stuff moved for free, or at least cheaper than the rates PushX offers, but some months ago, I contracted with first one solo hauler, then a different solo hauler, to move my stuff for cheaper than Push X. It didn't work. Often my stuff sat unmoved, and my 3-day contracts, even 7-day contracts, expired.

I'm a trader. I need my stuff moved. It's not "hey, I'd like this moved from A to B". No, it's "hey, I need this moved from A to B". I don't need fast, but I do need it moved within the agreed-upon time frame, usually 3 days.

PushX gives me that. Unless there's a Jita congestion problem (like most, I often need stuff moved to or from Jita), they almost always move my stuff within 48 hours, and often within 18-22 hours.

PushX is a corporation. They have a reputation to protect. If they suddenly start failing to accept lots of contracts, so that customers sit there grumbling over stuff not moved, that reputation will become damaged, due to the public voicing of legitmate claims about service unreliability.

You're not a corporation. You're a sole individual. You basically don't have a reputation to protect. If you start failing to deliver service on time, e.g. because you lose interest (possibly because of lack of motivation), and your reputation suffers from it, you can just dive under the surface, and stay down, forever or at least for a couple of years.

That's the real collaretal involved here. Not the ISK, but the reputation.
