Hello fellow EvE players, sorry to disturb you on such a fine day but may i borrow a moment of your time to read this idea (which may or may not be new).
An ingame channel where 2 sorts of people can meet and do business (of a sort).
I am constantly wanting to find certain players during hisec wars and i don't always have access to a locator agent that has the ability to find anyone who could be anywhere in hisec.
I know other people suffer from the same problem from time to time. Sometimes the person who usually locates for you isnt online and you just cant find that man who you want to kill!
so i propose a channel where two types of people can meet, the people with level 4 locator agents and those wishing to find a certain player.
the person wishing to find the person pays the locator agent fee (and a little extra if he is nice!) and he finds the target he wants. the person who has the agent gets a little extra revenue!.
i made the channel "locate him" to trial this idea.
C&C please

if the channel grows big enough you wouldn't even need the agents. could just go with the people.

What if the player you want to locate is/has friends on the channel?

I can see a brilliant business in giving out random locations in exchange for isk..

Make an alt, and grind missions til you have high enough standings with an npc corp to use their L3 or L4 locator agents. Then, when you want/need to find someone, transfer a little isk to the alt, find your targets, and go on about your business.

This would be the main problem.
Though this sort of agent service re-selling is an interesting idea, and a new type of contract could sort out the trust problem. The buyer would specify the character to be found, and enter how much they are willing to pay, and that money goes into escrow. The seller then accepts the contract, and specifies which agent in their current station should answer it, paying the agent fee as normal. When the agent comes up with the result, the result is sent direct to the buyer, and the isk deposited from escrow to the seller's account.

mmm...there are clearly lots of flaws with the concept as pointed out by the posts above.
the giving out of random locations is indeed a pesky problem, hard to get around it tbh.

Make an intel channel to be shared by your corp and all your friends' corps in the region(s) in which you do business. Explain to all involved how useful this will be in your various war-decks. Every corp in the channel should set each others' war targets "red" (and not use "red" status for other purposes) and report on the movements of reds when and where they see them.
