Market Discussions

Hello fellow MD readers,

Some of you who many know me will know I currently run a small private bank. Over the last few months I've scaled down my operations. I've reduced the deposits I keep on hand and the total amount of isk I manage through some self imposed soft caps.

In the next few months my currently active public loans will be getting re-paid by the borrowers. With that my public liabilities will be heavily reduced from the 1.1trillion I was holding and managing a few months ago, down to zero public active bonds. (Assuming no new large loans come in)

With that said, I will have time to reflect on by current operation and look for places to improve. I will also be looking for potential new services I can offer that would go well with my current operation. So I would like your input on what you would like to see improved from my current operation.

For any new service ideas they would have to follow some guidelines:

• The service must not take more than 1-2 hours a week to manage
• The serviced must not bring me over my soft cap of 1 trillion isk
• The service should bring me at the very least a little income
• The service must not involve me taking off my clothes

To all past, present and potential future clients:

• Were you satisfied with my service?
• Was my service what you expected?
• What would you like to see improved?
• Any additional comments, complaints, observations are appreciated and encouraged!
• If you hate me and think I should stop posting, don't be shy, tell me why.

Regards,
Grendell ♥

So much for babysitting my kids ....



So much for shoving my wife your way ...




And now you sound like my wife ...









On another note : why not enjoy the freedom you get ?

Show us your boobs.

I would like this as well before deciding to make any serious commitments in form of money or intellectual property.

My feedback is that you should keep some of your current investing activity going.

I am more than glad to keep the >30B or so currently in your fund or bank (or whatever you call it) running as long as possible.

I also have suggestions but those are more wishful thinking than practical (they are about financial things, apparently too specific to gain interest on MD).

I was not suggesting someone walk your dog for isk, or anything like that..

I was merely stating that a sort of 3rd party service for exchanging metagame services and skills would be very useful..

Someone making an EVE banner, or helping create a theme for your website, etc..

These would all be within the EULA, and not break any CCP rules..

There is already things like webhosting for isk and things like that.

I got a rough estimate of ISK/HOUR using mining as the base reference, this is around 5-10m per hour.

So any work done as metagame should fall in step with similar numbers adjusted for complexity and skillsets.

The point is there needs to be a middle man of sorts to make sure that both parties are contend with the bargain.

There could be a range of methods tested and tried to get this up and runing, but basically its similar to what is already done in other 3rd party services.
