Anyone else see something wrong with that signature on an auction like this? :)
Bump for a friend that helped me when I first started the game...wish I could buy it from you.

the reason why i put some of my bpo's up for sale(i have given away several command ship bpo's to friends so i am not greedy) is that i dont see any future in eve. ccp dont listen on us producers, i think i can say that i have been one of the most dedicated players in eve since retail release. i think u and the ones who really knows me in eve can vouch for that, what me and giz have done in eve no-one can take away from us. what we have achieved is more then most other only dream of
edit: these bpo's is just a p*ss in mississippi as we use to say when it comes to isk for me, but its what i want to let them go or they wil just collect dust in my hangar incase i will come back to eve ==================

It's a damn shame that it's come to this point for you. You have never ceased to amaze me with what someone can do with a lot of dedication, hard work and a few accounts...and a spot of luck...something I have been hard-pressed for recently, it seems.
I understand your frustrations and have all but given up on production, as it seems that every single print that I ever got, reduced in product value so much that it just isn't really worth producing much more than personal needs (I still stand by the conviction that even if I had the most popular HAC BPO in the game, it's retail price would drop so far down that it would be selling for a mere 50% over cost, at most). I'm hoping beyond hope that invention won't be just another skillpoint and ISK sink, but I don't have much hope of that. They should have gone with a different model a long time ago...a directed (and player led) research, instead of trying something like this. The agent method for T2 was a disaster...to put it into perspective, it would be like a PvP player saying "I want you to find a suitable target, eliminate it's defenses for me, and hand over the outpost to me as a NPC station." and then the agent going out after a period of time, and delivering an NPC station to you.
But, I digress...hope you come back soon. I have a lot of fond memories of you and your RB and Vodka nights on Teamspeak  ------------------- |

jesus..your full of yourself.
and if it is "just a p*ss in mississippi"(wtf?) and your quitting the game. why would u need such high prices if, after all it is nothing compared to what you have, your quitting, and most importantly isk isnt everything.

some people just get bored and burned out and need to do something different. no matter what you do in eve if you do it to much it will go from being fun and turn into a second or even third job. most likely he has put his sweet and blood into eve the last few years into eve and does not want to see someone else who is a stranger get it without a little work themselves. support BattleClinic buy gtc's from BattleClinic |

Maybe you need it in smaller words, - He's leaving - He accepts the possibility he might return - He'd rather not take T2 prints out of circulation, therefore he's trying to convert them to ISK to leave sitting on his characters
Now, what I smell is people sitting there behind their screen, looking at these numbers, and trying to come up with a way to misconstrue the situation such that they're the beacons of morality and perfection in an otherwise corrupt word. A+ for trolling. F- for realism.
CCP needs to create a high-rollers forum if this is what an x0B auction is going to mean.

Wow - lots of Green Envy potential here from a few people.
Just admire the guy for what he achieved and let him do with his BPO's what he thinks is right for him!
Sheesh ...

Some of you need to quit your b*tching in this thread and try to accomplish the same Whiskey has done. After you've done that, give out your BPO for free if you can. I'm waiting.
There's nothing wrong with getting proper profit from what you've worked hard for, regardless of whether you're leaving the game or just selling the BPO to accumulate ISK for some new purchase.

Let the man run his auction the way he wants to. For whatever reasons he wants to sell his item(s) for it doesn't matter.
You either bid, or you don't.
Either way keep your comments to yourself

He does not want to sell. He's only showing his muscles. He knows nobody will pay the prices he's asking (125 bil for a sleipnir and 40 bil for a sabre: LOL).
If he wanted to sell and retire as he claims he would have tried to get the best price for them at this point: a loooong auction without a ridiculous reserve. Beside that, he has tried this same bull**** 2 months or so ago.
I dont know why he feels the need to "show himself" (i can speculate that is because he lacks the capacity to do so in RL, but i wont ) but is it what he is doing.

Wiskey, if there is any way I can come to an arrangement with you to get Laendra loan of one or two of your BPOs until you come back (and you WILL be coming back :) ) let me know. He could do with getting back on his feet again. |

You mean newer players need to have played since the game was released, instantly signed up 4 or 5 accounts stuffed them full of missions runners with 5 lvl 4 research agents each and then sit back and wait for untold riches to come pouring for zero effort.
Cos that is how the majority of T2 cartel BPO owners did it. 
Thank heavens for Kali.

Edited by: WhiskeyDP on 31/10/2006 13:39:11 there is a difference in starting bid and reserv
lap: last time i didnt have an auction. ofc i could have put an hidden reserv instead of an high one, but now atleast ppl know what they have to aim for if they want to buy my bpo's
bpo will be pe5 when auction ends btw
sab: i might come back but dont count on it. u never know tho, afterall i have been an eveaddict(13h/d online for 3years time while i was active). if i do it i doubt it will be with productions as we have been doing today. our entire capital production set will be up for sale also(capable of full 24/7 freighter+carrier+dread and component bpo's to support that production ofc) in about 3-4 weeks ==================

Laendra,
Not exactly on topic but the thread is already derailed. Despite your assertion that you would bring the price of a given HAC down to something more sensible, your action would simply create a very lucrative market for the hundreds of t2 resellers in EVE. In simple terms, you would sell your HAC's for say 60M ISK. Resellers snap them up and put them back on the market for whatever the market is willing to pay for them (150-220M?). End result is that players still pay huge money for their HAC but it's the resellers and not you who pocket the massive profits.
This is not conjecture, this is what happens on a daily basis in EVE. Supply and demand I'm afraid.

You misunderstand what I meant. I meant that the prices would surely drop on their own because I owned it, not because I wanted them to. I think it's written in the code somewhere.  ------------------- |

By the looks of things this BP will not be sold then. However I am open for a discussion IG, but for it to be actual I think it should be clearafied that even if you sell 100% of your output in Jita at highest market price you still only make a little bit more than 1B / month if you build the ships in a POS. I find it hard to justify a 3 year payoff plan for it as the reserve states. ---------------------------------------
