Market Discussions

Why bother with sell orders ?


1400 mails sent every 4 month

great serv ice use it much!

My thoughts:

The plus: This is the largest list, a place that cant be ignored.

The basic: It's just a mailing list, when issues arise, the place is floating nonsense, no moderation, just afterwards banning.

The bad: It's regulated beyond official rules, you may not **** others off with your offers, if your price is to high, you get banned, if your therms are to bad, you risk banning or chaos, if someone manipulates the market afterwards, you risk getting banned.

I use the list to purchase, because of the above i sell my stuff somewhere else.

My wishes would be that the list rules did not regulate the content of the offers, but only the usage of the list, i'm sure professional traders can separate the good deals from the bad.

My problem is that i trade in bulk, so if i have 25.000 rifters in stock, they will be sold for a premium price compared to the market, simply because the market do not supply more than a few thousand rifters...

However i don't expect the traders to purchase them, but someone might actually need them for other reasons than to resell them...

Bulk Trade, don't forget the Bulk in the name....

Can anyone tell me why i got banned from the list?, seems i followed every rule on the wiki page.

i answered to your mails both

i answered your mail not even 6 minutes after you sent it ..............

Hi guys,

Amusingly, I got banned here as well. I relay this information only to inform other casual players.

I'd not previously paid much attention to this list as already working in the Legit Trade channel, I thought 'bulk' was to do with very large quantities of stuff and I wasn't in that league.

But when I read that 'bulk' was 5+, well I had a couple of station cans of BPCs that met the criteria. So I joined up, lurked on the list for a few days to see the form, and then followed with a couple of posts putting my unloved BPCs out there. One got a lot of interest, the other got zip.

Then today, finding out I wasn't in the club anymore, my fee for finding out why I got banned is apparently 75m - so obviously something in my two messages was veeeery verrrry bad.

Full marks to W3370Pi4 fpr policing, but zero marks for communication. Fortunately for me, I actually can quite happily not ever use this list again.

"if you pay the fine i will tell you why you were banned"

Sorry mate, not interested.

Here's my two mails: I only include the info in case anyone else thinks they might send similar missives into the Bulk Trade universe and get similar dismissive bannage. I can only assume my crime was either not mentioning location or not offering a 'per unit' price for the coercer BPCs in message number 2, but none of the responses to my first message asked me about per-unit pricing because - DOH - it''s the BULK TRADE mailing list.....

It's a funny old Eve-i-verse.

i will put this here for future ****ups and other zombie retards wandering about

"when joining the mailing list you will receive a welcoming mail containing an explicit list of rules : by using the mailing list in anyway you accept to abide by these rules by default. "

the fine rules have been there for a while never enforced them but i found that its the only way to make people actually read the rules

so yeah i don't really care if you don't like my "pay up or stay out " administrating scheme because it is very effective and is really helping to keep a standard on the mailing list because words gets out and people know how to behave.



" it isn't my responsibility to know why you were banned" is just a poor choice of words from me ( i apologize for that ) i do know why you were banned what i should have said and will say in the future is " i will only tell you if you pay up"
because by doing this is I achieve the following
1st you read the rules if you don't pay up because even if you have an army of alts it's annoying to get banned
2nd you read the rules if you pay up as well because giving me free isk hurts in some kind of way around your lower area on your body you know the "sensible bits" and i know it.

some people do read the rules and i have to make sure i make it worth it for them ( and for me )
most people have been on this mailing list for quite a while and have never heard of me you know why because when i look at their mails i have nothing to say.

i have worked hard to make this mailing list what it is today if you are not happy in anyway please i beg you check my lovely Ecard at the beginning of this post
