What's your best ransom, either as a customer or vendor.

Back when i was first starting out in my trusty thorax solo pirating the low sec chain as we sniggles called it(starts in passari and ends in egbinger). I came across a raven ratting in one of the belts, so of course in i went. Was going ok, till i started to run out of cap just as i had him going into armour. Only one cycle left on my med repper and everything would soon be turning off. So open the convo i did and he payed up a cool 50mil about 5 seconds before all my mods went off.

Ransomeing for songs is what i like best.We even got this dude to sing happy birthday to our ceo.Isk type ransoms i prefer the fac bs ones the most.

Best ransom? Hmm. Well, either getting a Rattlesnake pilot to eject, or ransoming a Vindi for 1.5b would probably be around the best I've done in a while.
Because I said so...

Ransomed a Veto Astarte for 500m once, can't for the life of me remember the pilot.
On a larger scale, I ransomed an entire corp belonging to Azumi Blade for 2 billion ISK, a haiku, and an apology thread in CAOD.

How did you do that? And was the haiku good?
Edit: \o/ I got a picture!!
Edit2: My best (and only) ransom so far was when I blew up my corpmates Impairor and proceeded to ransom his pod for 1 isk.

I ransomed a 3 year old Myrmidon pilot for all his wallet while in a Slasher. True story.
All his wallet was 3.4 million ISK ;-(.
It was in a 0.8 system, saw the ship ratting (no joke), stole from a wreck. He shot me. For the heck of it I started to orbit close, scram him and pounded him with my autocannons and rocket launcher. To my astonishment his shield tank didn't handle me and no drones ever came out.
The gist of the story : he hadn't played in years, and in total less than 2 months. He came back and mined his way in a Myrmidon. When I started to flash red he even thought I was a NPC. The funniest part was that he got a small neutralizer but he stopped using it because he saw no obvious effect.
His comments after the fact "LOL it has been years I hadn't my lunch money stolen".
Gave him most of the ransom back (had to pay for the ammo ;-)) and promise of equipment and fitting advice but he didn't stick to the game...
Biggest wtf moment in game so far.

I havent had any GRAND ransoms but...
I was happily roaming my private sphere of lowsec when I noticed a Harpy and Enyo roaming around and harassing the locals. As I was in my Drake I suspected I would be able to handle them quite nicely, but I also suspected that they wouldnt dare crossing my path... However, as I warped into a belt where I knew a newb had been mining before the Harpy was sitting there looting a rat. Or the miner, can't really remember.
Anyways, I promptly locked him, webbed him and started pounding him with HAM's. As the Enyo joined the fray seconds after I noticed to my horror that my shields were dropping fast and I was using the wrong type of dmg. As I switched to Torrents I also noticed that I had forgot my shield hardeners...
I quickly turned them on, and the fight seemed to turn for the better. By now the two fles were already past my peak regen though, and being a kind of experienced lowsec dweller I quickly saw I was on the losing side of the battle.
So I typed in the calmest way possible in local "Any chance of a ransom?" (My Drake was rigged with three shield rigs and was stuffed with T2 goodies. Of course I wanted to save a ship I had spent 150 million isk on ) and just as I was about to press enter, I noticed the enginetrails of the Enyo growing long as he warped off. I then pressed enter in disbelief. The Harpy pilot obviously misinterpreted (sp, anyone?) my intentions, and answered: "Sounds fair. How much do you want?"
Luckeye!! Because of the Enyo warping off, whereas I was prepared to pay as much as 100 million to save my ship, I could now ransom a Harpy for 15 million isk. 
Later that day I encountered him again, but this time he attacked me solo. I was prepared this time around however, and offered him freedom in exchange of 10 million. This time he chose to spread his assets though, and I got about 7 mill in loot from him.

Hehe, similiar thing as with the other poster, we got paid for a ransom that didn't exist...
Me and a friend in a Brutix were camping the Harroule gate in MHC- in our respective Brutix when a Hurricane and a Cyclone jump through. I slapped a point on the Cyclone, but the Hurricane appeared to be stabbed and got away from my corp mates point.
I quickly opened a convo with the Cyclone pilot, but he seemed quite unrealistic about the amount of isk I was interested in taking...
[ 2007.02.13 05:29:08 ] Nidhoggur > 20mil. [ 2007.02.13 05:29:16 ] Cyclone > ill give 2 mil all i have [ 2007.02.13 05:29:30 ] Nidhoggur > not really good enough, sorry.
We proceeded to pop him, and lamented our loss of the Hurricane on vent. To my surprise, seconds later the Cyclone pilot convos me again, demonstrating a seeming lack of comprehension...
[ 2007.02.13 05:31:25 ] Nidhoggur > were you unsatisfied with your experience? [ 2007.02.13 05:31:26 ] Cyclone > i got the 20 mil if u let him go [ 2007.02.13 05:31:33 ] Cyclone > ok [ 2007.02.13 05:31:45 ] Nidhoggur > dont worry. your friend has gone. [ 2007.02.13 05:31:50 ] Cyclone > ok [ 2007.02.13 05:31:50 ] Nidhoggur > i dont know where. [ 2007.02.13 05:31:55 ] Cyclone > we good [ 2007.02.13 05:32:03 ] Nidhoggur > but he managed to warp. okay. goodbye. [ 2007.02.13 05:32:13 ] Cyclone > ok [ 2007.02.13 05:32:33 ] Cyclone > let him go i got the money [ 2007.02.13 05:32:47 ] Nidhoggur > okay. send the isk. [ 2007.02.13 05:32:56 ] Cyclone > i did [ 2007.02.13 05:33:02 ] Cyclone > stop fiering [ 2007.02.13 05:33:12 ] Cyclone > check ur wallet [ 2007.02.13 05:33:12 ] Nidhoggur > its okay. we let your friend go. [ 2007.02.13 05:33:55 ] Cyclone > im on ts with him let him go take the dorns off of him plz [ 2007.02.13 05:35:07 ] Nidhoggur > i think you have the wrong idea. [ 2007.02.13 05:35:14 ] Nidhoggur > you friend is gone. we let him leave our camp. [ 2007.02.13 05:35:38 ] Cyclone > u poded didnt you
After splitting the isk and spending some time shaking our heads in disbelief that someone like this could actually be playing eve, we quickly realised what this odd convo meant.
We started up our MWDs and jumped out just as local started to explode with the blob that had paused on the gate of an adjoining system to pop the Hurricane. I sent the Cyclone pilot a quick Evemail of thanks, and warped us to a safe.

think the best one,if not at least the most dipressing ransom we ever had was a freighter we caught in annunen,we spend a good 20 minutes talking with the pilot trying to get him to pay,came down to we give him money after he gets out of it-alt comes picks it up-ransom done.he gets out of it finaly only to have it blow up cuz it had such low structure :P what a waste of time
