Being a owner of one of the BPOs myself, I'm curiously watching this auction. Not because I ever intend on selling my own (even if I could buy a new car with what it's worth on ebay) but to observe human nature at it's finest. I'm not the only one who is curious in this way, I've already had a dozen convos ingame asking me if I was watching this thread.
Personally, if it were me and I didn't have the skills to produce it, I would invest in a character that did and use it myself. The BPO is MUCH more valuable kept than sold in the long run. I may be different than most people as far as what I want out of it though. For me it is just a way to have more fun in the game and explore areas that I couldn't before such as getting another char/account and doing some PvP and larger projects than I could have attempted previously.
I kind of hope the price goes so high that only a large alliance can afford it and buys it based on logistic and strategic value, not isk value. Less competition for the rest of us on the retail market if it is used internally by an alliance.
I have some idea of what he is going through, friends suddenly pop out of the woodwork and scammers see you as a bullseye. Several of you here have already broken his rule multiple times about ingame communications and trying to sway him this way or that. If it were me I'd be blocking people that couldn't respect the auction rules too.
For those of you complaining about the potential price or how the auction is run, you can't expect an investment of this magnitude to be without risk, especially when there is so much competition for it. No harm in trying though and some very valid points were brought up so I'm not bashing anyone or complaining myself. That being said, the seller has every right to run the auction in whatever way he sees fit and if you don't like it, don't participate.
I'd be willing to bet that this is the most watched single thread on the forums atm, pretty cool if you like people watching.

Originally by: Traxman Thank you for reveling the reserve,
Then i bid 74.8b isk and yes, im very_ valid to anyone that asks.
i dont see how this can be a serious bid if you bid right under the reserve so that the next bit reaches the reserve. if it was a serious bid one would assume that you would bid at the reserve and not 200 mil short of it??????????????????? sorry, but i buy alot of stuff off of ebay and the only time i see this behaviour is when sellers try to artificially prop up thier bids with other accounts, or other people trying to disrupt the bidding????????????

I agree. Traxman if you are serious Thank You for your offer.If not please read the earlier posts as I said I would sell at a price near the Reserve so if you dont want to end up with a 74.8 Billion bill retract your bid so that others may bid properly. Thank you

I have known trax for my entire life within eve if he says he has 74.8b isk he has 74.8b isk. Also keep in mind that the guy has puchased other high value BPO's Namely the skiff BPO the Mack BPO and now possibly the Hulk BPO.

In standard auctions if you bid below the reserve you don't have to purchase if the seller decided he will accept the price. You are given the option to purchase at your offer but it is not binding.

So next bid is 75 billion. I need to get drunk before that happens.
Quote: no BPO will go for too much above 50-60bn because of the simple fact that nobody is stupid enough to keep that amount of assets in isk...
Some people are stupid enough to think if their wallet amount is high enough the "You win" window will finally pop up.
I'm still waiting for it.
And hi. Rules are that we aren't supposed to share threads unless we're talking about # of kills Omega Corp had on FA or the inverse.

Im quilified for 75b isk, you told us all that hte reserve was 75b isk, there of my bid and to basicly have someone to bid over me. I cant see anywhere that you state that you will sell it close to reserve either so i assume i can meaby get it cheaper then by retracting my bid and let the auction go on, the only winner here is not you, not me.. but TornSoul.
Bid retracted due to unknown factors as 'selling close to reserve' and due to i might get it cheaper 
Ill be here 5 minutes bvefore auction ends and we will see how will get it

As for pulling because of not being able to find the bit about being close to reserve TRAXMAN its in post 24. And if you read post 1 it says serious bids only All those of you who are slagging me off wait till you have something like this.Its an UNKNOWN Item.NO-ONE except CCP know what it is worth prob. I have never run an auction and as such could only go by what people told me. But its amazing how many people there are too keep giving you advice.Then when you do take the advice they give you ,you get knocked by other people and sometimes by the peple who gave you the advice. Please stop having a go at me and just bid for the thing if you want it

Dear Archmage Raistlin.
Since you're much more educated on the auction rules and general trading now, I wonder if you would find it ok to talk to me in game about certain risk free (for you anyway) arrangement we could make. I hope you can give me a benefit of doubt since I am the highest bidder and at the same time I talked to you from the very biginning offering down to earth good deal with certain trade offer (which in my eyes is still the highest absolute value you received to date, but I understand your refusal).
Since you know the value of your BPO, I think you will find it pleasant to learn about my new option. It will allow you to get most value for your bpo without any inherent risks which others' proposals are certainly posing (down to complete 'give bpo and I make (most likely run)' "deals" you no doubt received to date).
Thank you and please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Why don't you remove the "tentatively" or get the **** out of the thread until you can make a certain bid.
