Hello guys & gals.
Last week I announced a 1 Billion ISK mining contract in Korama which was awarded to 20-25 different heavy-mining corps and individuals. This week, I can raise that to 2 Billion ISK.
This is all for my battleship production. I sell around 15 battleships a day, give or take, and my incredible volume requires a massive number of minerals. Korama has many belts for you to mine so there is plenty of profit to be made there.
I sell Ravens, Scorpions, Apocalypses, and Megathrons. I am very familiar with market prices and I will beat any of them, thus my volume and repeat customers. I prefer to deal with bulk BShip orders but am also happy to do single customers. Convo me any time if you are interested in getting details.
I currently have about 40 BShips in stock of all the above types that I have to move ASAP. They are doing me no good sitting in inventory... I am also looking for more salemen to work with me on this venture.
I do ask that all mineral sales are in at least 10 or 20+ million ISK chunks. There is so many minerals/bships changing hands that we have to keep the number of transactions to a minimum.
My prices WILL fluctuate through time. I must maintain a balance of all minerals (1 billion ISK worth of Isogen does me no good). Please check here daily for the latest prices or send me an evemail.
Starting out, my prices will be the following:
Trit: 1.7
Pyr: 4.5
Mexallon: 16
Isogen: 62
Nocx: 235
Zyrine: (Convo me for bulk 75K or more)
Megacyte: (Convo me for bulk 50K or more)
All will be for Korama 3 Moon 10. I am also buying ore there for those of you with poor refining skills.
Thank you.

Kind of low on the old minerals payout... If your making BS's in mass then you should be able to pay your miners the prices those minerals are worth.
1.5 - 5 - 16 - 64 - 256 - 1,100 - 8,000
Just my opinion, and thats what I sell for to a lot of large corps... You would think TTI could afford to pay their sub-comtractors a little more.

Thank you Stone.
Last week I did a 1 billion ISK mining contract for prices lower than I am currently offering and I cleaned out the fund in about 6 days. So while you might find my prices low, they are high enough to make Korama miners a billion a week in profit. You will occasionally see my prices shoot up to NPC or above when one of my 7 mineral buckets gets low. Thank you.

They could, but why pay more than market price?
The market is flooded with mex/nox/iso, which is why he pays so little for it. It's too abundant, and supply exceeds demand.
15.5/62/230 for mex/iso/nox are some of the best prices I've seen in a long time for large-quantity sales.

Thank you. All deliveries to Korama 3 Moon 10. I also have about 35-40 battleships in stock for your cheap-buying pleasure.
Feel free to ask me how YOU can make 5-30 million ISK a day reselling my ships without carrying inventory.

Congratulations, your members are very kind.

Please do not throw my sales thread under the bus of your war propaganda. TTI enriches many people. In the last 2 weeks I have paid 2.5 billion ISK to many miners and I am quite sure they are happy with it. As TTI gets rich, so do our friends. Thank you.

Whether you agree with TTi's policies or reputation is immaterial in this thread, Roark is offering to pay 50% over the price of NPC cost on trit, if you can all make that much profit doing something else, great - but there isn't much in EVE at the moment that has that kind of profit.
It's a good deal for miners.

The fact that many of you have replied to this thread simply do discredit Roark is laughable. He is simply the best seller out there on the market. My experience of buying a megathron from him could not have been easier. Not only are his prices already cheap to begin with, he was kind enough to let me pay for the few minerals i was missing at a more than reasonable price. All in all, my buying experience could not have been easier, and it really is a shame that some of you folks are too busy flaming him to see what a great seller he is.

Well, I can't speak for TTI as a whole, as I've only dealt with 2 of them (to my knowledge) Roark and Golden One.
I'd like to say that every interaction I've had with them has been a positive one. To date, I've sold them 1.5 million Isogen, and almost 2 million Mexallon, and been satisfied with the price, and the professionalism that was shown overall.
Also, I'd like to note the benefits of having a corporation that stocks large numbers of Battleships, and is willing to sell them at fair prices. With the current instabilities in the game, (CTD's, lag, etc), many people are losing ships as a result of crashes during battle. I recently lost a Scorpion due to such circumstances, and was able to replace it at a fair price, as fast as I was able to travel to their location. I'd also like to note that Roark called Golden One up, and had her log on to expedite the transaction, so that I could be on my way. It's rare to see that kind of service in a MMOG.

Those miners who deal with TTi would do well to read the following:
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=29558
There are other manufacturers who buy minerals for the same prices, and sell battleships and other items more cheaping. In a few days they will also have benefit of not having teams of bounty hunters attempting to shut down their operations. Maybe enough miners will get through to keep TTi in business - but do you want to be one of the ones that don't get through - for no benefit? Think about it.

If all EVE is to TTi is money and power, they've got 1 our of 2 guaranteed. Personally, I'm not planning on *working* for them. But they may have capitalism on their side, cuz every time I've got a few mil Trit/Pyr (most of the rest I sell NPC) I'm going to be looking around for best prices, and if they've got it (they're in the neighbourhood ATM, but not THE best) I'll sell to them. Similarly, *if* they have the best price on a Dominix in 10 days, I'll be buying from them.
However, I'll shop around. Ultimately they'll continue to be rich just by hanging in carebear space and selling Battleships. It doesn't sound like they'll be *powerfull* tho, as long as they don't have sole control on new technologies...
In any case, they don't sound like fun to work with or be allied with. But then to be honest, I think the whole "we own this region" thing sucks no matter who's doing it :)

We may not be prepared to handle the volume TTI does, but we will do what we can to offer corporations a safe alternative to working for them. We should be able to beat their prices on purchased minerals and sold ships. Please see our post (attached below):

Techell industries has every bit the resources TTI has, and are far easier to work with. I also have had positive dealings with members of Playboy Enterprises.
Hell, even when we were allies with TTI, Techell STILL gave us better pricing on ships. If TTI was unable to offer deep discounts to their own allies, do you really think YOU are going to get a better deal from them?
Look elsewhere. It's a free market and TTI is poison candy. The money tastes good, but it rots your soul.

Also, all you people that come to throw my sales thread under the bus, all you are doing is bringing more attention to me. I have gotten more inquiries and sales from people wondering, "Hell maybe he does have good prices." So please keep it up guys...

I would invite anyone to read the posts under the Scope forums about the Venal Wars if anyone is interested in learning a good deal about TTI, and the pirate corps they have allied with...one astute reporter even observed people purchasing a ship from Roark, only to have it blown up minutes later in a nearby system by TTI allies.
There are many corps out there with a better reputation, and better deals than TTI. I produce every ship Roark does, for quite a bit cheaper. Other corporations, such as Techell and Doped Players, also offer better deals than TTI, with atleast the same level of customer service if not better. Hell, I can usually deliver a ship for a byom deal and haul the minerals myself on my own time...how's that for customer service?
If people would spend a little time looking around for the best companies, they are out there...most of them arent nearly as obnoxious as TTI though, so you have to look a little harder to find them.
By the way Roark, I was checking out your corpse last night, it was almost as ugly as your new clone. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we're taking out you and your little pirate buddies like yesterday's garbage...i'm glad you have that stockpile of ships you like to brag about, a lot of you are needing some replacements

JEDI don't believe in the propaganda that opposition to TTI is spreading and fact is that I don't see THEM offering good mining contracts close to where we live.
I will soon be able to think about 3 billion reasons why you as a miner should deal with TTI. If you are honorable they will stay true to you, but talk **** like that about a corp you know nothing about is bull..
I am no super TTI fan, but their ISK for our minerals surely convince me. |

So you say that i know nothing of TTi?
Guess you don't find it amiss that even though we were allies with tti and defending their asses, they didn't offer us any good deals, but kept spouting byoms? (Yes, lets mine that much tri, pyr and others in a 0.0 system, while fighting a war)
So I, with many others, went to Techell with our isk and recieved better deals there than with our allies TTI?

Well duh i'm going to plug my own corp.
As far as you JEDI folks, I will buy as much low ends as you can produce, at the same prices Roark was paying. However, unlike Roark my corporation is actually respectable, doesnt keep company with pirates, thieves, and bandits, and doesnt have to take a break from buying minerals right now because it's getting it's butt kicked...i'm sure Roark wishes he could say the same.
Additionally, im almost always around to help with hauling if you guys need it...how many times did Roark offer that?
Bottom line is, a lot of decent people got snookered into supporting TTI just because they were the biggest, so therefore it was assumed they were the best. This isnt propaganda. This is fact.
Fact: Roark/TTI actually paid LESS than a lot of other companies for low ends...they just made the most noise so they stood out more.
Fact: After attempting to take over the Alliance they were supposed to be equal members in, they were removed and are now allied with Space Invaders and Paladins of Red Skull, both notorious pirate corps.
Fact: Many people have come to me to purchase a battleship, after buying one from Roark and having it lost to a Space Invaders or Paladins blockade minutes later.
The way I see it, any corp that allies itself with pirates is just as bad as the pirates themselves. TTI has always done dirty business anyway...paying pirate corps to attack our operations in Fountain, for example...they are a bunch of thieves and scoundrels, and eventually any honorable person doing business with them is bound to discover that.

Eh, don't place SI in with them as allies, I don't think they are, but were lumped in as a 1 shot vote deal.
Anyways, they HAVE hired pirate corps. One of the foremost of those being m3g4, whom i think many of you know.
As for TTI buying minerals, i think that they'll be buying them again soon, losses need to be replaced.
