Happy Hungry Hippoes(HHH) specializes in exploration. As explorers we have little time to mine the precious hidden belts we find along the way.
Therefore Happy Hungry Hippoes is proud to announce the selling of hidden asteroid belts in high sec space perfect for starting players, Mining corporations, or corporations with wars that need that out of the way spot to make some cash for the next ship to charge into battle with.
How to find our special deals: They can be found by contracts in the Lonetrek region with the title EXPLORATION and a breif explanation of whats found. Exploration sites now are all in high sec and Caldari space only at this time though as we grow we will expand into metropolis and other regions.
Some examples of what you will find currently auctioned
a Large Omber belt in .7 space with and estimated value of 120 million isk. Over 1m silvery omber ore, 489k golden omber and 400k omber in this belt alone (yes we survey the belts for estimated value).
A large asteroid belt comprised of Jaspet, several types of Kernite, and some omber in .6 space
Our pricing is 1.5 million minimum bid with 3 million buyout for the bookmark. 3 day auctions as we do not know how long the belts last. Through experimentation with one belt however it has remained there untouched for over a week.
Only one bookmark is sold.
Be assured we will strive for customer satisfaction. If for some reason the belt is not there we will work with you to reimburse expenses.
We are also selling our exploration services to large alliances, corporations etc.
Is your alliance / corporation really reaping all the benefits of the space you strive to Protect?
We can help you find those hidden sites so you make the most of your space

Looks like several of the bookmarks sold and to be on the safe side i checked the locations and they were still there. Happy profits for those that bought the BMs I checked.
Anyway to clarify some of Exploration Contracts from some of the frequently asked questions.
We are offering our services to find hidden complexes in the space they own/protect. I will also contract to empire corporations to identify resources around their home systems. Pricing will be minimal as exploration is our love.
To do exploration in 0.0 for alliances / corporations we only require access to one local base and one manufacturing site if possible. If you can arrange space on transport ships (industrials, freighters, etc) to the base of operations, the manufacturing slot is not needed as I will have you transport the probes estimated to be needed. Another option is to provide the probes yourself. I will provide the client with probe BPCs if they wish to manufacture them and provide them to me.
Standings are a must to prevent mishaps and local intel on enemies to watch for is appreciated.
Exploration sites will be bookmarked and escrowed/contracted to the buying corporation/person daily for the cost of probes (unless provided by the client) plus the agreed upon price. All sites are your property and will be treated as such, I will only identify what the sites contain and pass that information on.
Basically its up to you how you decide to negotiate contracts. We are here to please the client. In your eve mail please provide a list of systems / constellations you want scanned, how often you want them scanned and you offer for my services. It is better that you provide me with what you think our time is worth and we go from there in negotiations.
We currently have several members all highly skilled in exploration and we work as a team thereby providing fast scanning for large constellations. We are expecting to provide the client with 6 or more sites per day, though since this is new until we get the details down we will not know for sure. Some sites are easy some are hard.

I have been exploring and finding belts as well. I was curious how long the belts would hang around. That's good news that you are able to set up a business model around it  I hope you do very well with it.
I operate in the Derelik region if anyone needs information or help locating belts.
To add to Crystal's info, I have found belts with Hedbergite, Hemorphite and Jaspet in .6 before. This is worth looking at for any mining operation. You will have access to Zydrine from High sec systems.
Also, for 0.0 corps who aren't in one of the few *big* alliances...belts can be found in 0.0 with Ark/Crokite/Bistot in them. You would have access to high end materials that are normally blocked off by NBSI territorial alliances. |

Thanks Crystal for posting this
I concur with Chris. We have seen several bistot fields in the limited 0.0 close to empire that we have explored. Also we found several ratting fields (as we call them) that were very easily 7/10 on up in difficulty. Perfect for the NPCers in you corporationt hat are lookign for some fun.
Im looking forward to exploring your space soon, send eve mails to Crystal Starbreeze with offers.

I bought a couple of bookmarks from this corp and was very happy with the results. The omber belt was completely untouched and still there the next day. Unfortunately the jaspet belt had been discovered by someone else and was being mined. The jaspet was gone, however, there was still plenty of kernite and omber in the belt left and there was only one other person mining it so it was still profitable. A very cool service.

Thank you for the kind words, good PR is well good
Anyway spent last night searching and struck out on new mining belts for everybody that has been asking. Only found 3 hacking sites and 2 archeology sites. I get good nights and bad nights.
Anyway i may be posting the archeology site bookmarks on escrow/contracts as i dont have archeology skills to pursue them.
Continue to check Escrow in Lonetrek region with EXPLORATION as title. There are none there now but there may be some later. I will update this forum post as new bookmarks become available.

My understanding is that they stay until mined OR until a week has passed. The omber belt I saw was found on Sunday and was still there today (Tuesday) but had just been found by a large group of miners so will probably be gone today.

actually i think your prices mite be a bit cheap..
I was kinda thinking of selling what I find for between 10-20% of the estimated value of ore.
I found a large Jaspet, Kern, Omber belt in a 0.8 system so far my corp has pulled 160m of ore out of it.

Sarf you might be right from the overwhelming response i have gotten. However this is a new venture and judging the price for a new service is hard. 3 million to 5 million isk seemed about right for the time it took me, the risk involved and the resources used. I initially though about 10% of estimated value but as i can not guarantee that the site will not be found by others and mined the buyer takes some risk. The omber site alone was estimated value of 120m isk. 5% or less with the risk seems fair and equitable to me. Obviously i may change my mind.
Like if i cant keep supply up i might raise price a little to meet demand but it might be a little time before i alienate customers that are waiting.
However i dont want to kill the market. I want to establish a name for the corp, sell at this price and as i gain popularity for this service, think about raising pricing or offering new and better services. In reality i am an explorer at heart finding the sites, seeing what they are, what they contain etc is what really is fun for me, making isk is secondary.
My ultimate goal is gain enough reputation that I may be hired to provide a service to alliances and corporations in 0.0 at near the same deal. 3-5 million per Bm and if i want to make money i do a little ratting on the side (if permitted).

As far as I have seen over the past 2 weeks the belts do stay after downtime until mined out. I seem to remember a DEV saying two things could happen: the belt will despawn after a set amount of time or when a certain roid is popped.
The belt that Cerberus claimed has been there over a week untouched. Other belts i have found have remained. It might be a good idea to try and lengthen the time a belt stays by refusing to pop the roids if you are going to mine it over several days. Just mine them down to 100 units or so until you are almost finished then pop them so you get the most out of the site.
Another hidden complex that i have not sold is called desolate site. And to be honest it looks desolate, that why its not sold. It has been hanging there in space for over 10 days now. There is one destroyable object that i have not touched as i believe it will trigger its despawn. I am seeing how long these things really do last.
As I continue this service I plan on keeping in contact with the buyers to research how long these belts last.

True, But not all sites are easy to find.
The jaspet belt i found took about 13h of scanning to pinpoint it, and there i only got it down to 373km, which i drove to as i could see it.

oh i agree Sarf...some are hellacious to find...those though are worthy of keeping for myself at this time or go to close friends that give me a cut of the action.
However if i was on contract i may put a clause in the contract that sites like those would be charged a premium. It is my experience that super hard sites usually are very good. I have a corp mate working on one now that is up to 30 scans for, other corp members are going to help him out tonight.
