Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest at 0% interest. Maybe you should offer -1%? You could pay the borrower 1% per week for the privilege of lending the ISK, so you can "make a name" for yourself again. |

I'm considering getting a 0% interest loan from you as I have quite a few unresearched BPOs that are going unused at the moment, how much ISK do you have available? |

The other thing to remember about MD is that it is, in the end, a bit of an RP forum.
We're here to simulate the market in EVE as close to reality as possible. As such, people who come in attempting to make no profit on a loan are effectively not playing along. That makes us generally suspicious. You have to at least pretend like you are attempting to treat it as a business.
Additionally, just getting noticed is not a terribly useful thing. Posting 0% interest offerings will get you noticed, but won't give you any help. I would like to think that I am at least slightly known in here, but if I were to suddenly ask for a few billion based purely on my 'rep' in the group, I would be laughed at. What exposure I have here is mainly as a gadfly and poker-of-holes-in-arguments. In fact, I would generally guess that I am the poorest 'regular' poster on this forum. As such, I may be noticed here, but that an a dollar will get me a snickers bar from the vending machine. |

I understand the principle of emulating the market as close as possible. Much like in RL, every nowvand then a new "dog" comes along with a bonified offer just to get in on the market scene. This usually lasts a little while, long enough to get the ball rolling then things go back to normal, or die off in flames, which I will do my best to avoid.

You also have to remember that this a market without regulation besides what we provide ourselves. As a result, we have to be extremely suspicious as any scams or frauds are completely consequence-free. This leads to a very strict adherence to 'if it looks to be too good to be true, it is.' |

So, four days after my I first raised this question, can you name 3 of the "old dogs" who are your competitors?
