No I'm a little confused. You just said:

That's a hundred billion. Not yours?

You'll come out way ahead spending a 10th of that on some pilots that you can 100% trust because you own them. Or am I missing something?

Mr Epeen Cool


The 20 billion is paid after I get paid. My risk in this whole thing is literally under 10 billion.


That twenty billion (times five) gets paid to you if they're your inexpensive sitters. And since you sell them again when you're done with them, your risk is near zero.

So I see some convoluted scheme where you are taking 80b deposits and making pilots run through a route that you tell them at a time you set for them (total set up) compared to a simple do-it-yourself and come out 100b richer. I think I see it was a waste to think this might actually be legit.

Maybe I should teach a course on this. It's pretty easy stuff, but clearly many don't understand. Your proposal causes me to spend many times what I am upront, which is unnecesary. The whole point is leverage. If you can't understand that, then I don't know what to tell you.

My friend recently lost his titan and might be available for this service.
please mail me in game and we can work out a deal. then confirm on this thread.

If he wants to confirm through you on this thread that is fine, but for his own protection and mine, I do not want the pilots posting here. Otherwise we'd have hundreds of guys running locators on them daily.

yeah that i why i posted and not him. i will confirm any deal between you and him. Needs to be in public though. In this thread or he is not interested. He has lost enough recently without more bad luck.

So is this one of those "If you didn't read, you funded those who did." things?

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

You could buy five Titan sitters for 25b, with zero risk of losing the titans, which by your math secures you 400b isk. If just one Titan gets stolen, you say you are out 80b. 25b initial investment on character bazaar, which you can then likely turn around for even more profit, is the only logical way to do this.

So yeah, obvious scam is obvious. Like, kinda sad obvious.

I see a common Jita currier contract scam here, only on a much larger scale >.>

What is preventing you from setting up ambushes along your route, pocketing the 80B collateral.

You can simply do this yourself by buying sitters for 20 or 30 billion isk at 0 risk to you, costing you no additional isk. Then after the sales you resell the sitters at cost. You save a 100B by not having to pay someone else to do it for you, and of course there is no risk of you being scammed yourself.

The only way I would even consider this is if I put the collateral with a 3rd party. And even then the titan will be held at one of my POS's and when the time for exchange comes, that exchange would be via said 3rd party. Oh and I would be expecting payment at time of transfer, not when you feel like it. Of course you won't go for this, because your chance to pocket my collateral after I get ganked will be gone.

Also wrong forum.

Specifically, I need 3 that can fly an Avatar and 2 that can fly an Erebus.

A little over a month ago I purchased options to buy these ships, thinking I'd figure out the rest later, kind of like those real estate "gurus" promote on late night infomercials. The purchase prices in the contracts were very reasonable and the options only cost a few billion each.

I know a good number of titan pilots covering all 4 races, but the problem is they are all sitting in them now, other than one guy who is on vacation.

I just sold the fifth one, and delivery dates range from February 7th through the 14th (yes one is a Valetines gift for her husband lol.)

I need 5 guys that can sit in these ships for up to 2 weeks until the delivery dates. I will also need you to move them from various POSes in lowsec and NPC null to my alt corps' POSes.

I know from experience that most Titan pilots are honorable, but I have to protect myself of course, because this is a large risk by anyone's standards.

If you are interested, I will need an 80 billion isk deposit for each, which covers half my sales prices. Based on my cost, I can still turn a profit if 1 scams me and break even if 2 do, which are reasonable odds.

This offer pays 20 billion isk per pilot upon successful transfer to each buyer.

Thanks.


I'll have a pilot ready in 26 days. But I can't cover that deposit. So if you get desperate hit me up. He'll be trained into an Erebus

Lol, had I seen that post earlier I would've tried to scam 80bil out of someone, learned to fly a titan and signed up for it. xD

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

If you were serious about this, you would have considered the Market Discussions subforum, where this kind of large lumps of money/items change hands regularly. The investors are in position to have had bought Titan capable pilots and trusted third parties have long post histories for others to review.

Knowing erotica1's history ingame and in the interwebz, well..

edit: Posting this in General Discussion, and not with your alts? C'mon erotica1, you used to be craftier than this!

Tried that with a freighter train I needed and everyone said it was the wrong forum. Luckily I found the people I needed elsewhere. As I said, serious players will get the list of escrows, and I ask titan pilots not post with those characters or other known alts of them. If it's your fault the titan is lost for being stupid on the forums or elsewhere, the deposit will be held. If it's my fault or random, then I'll eat that loss.

I've heard from 3 guys and 1 sounds pretty close to closing the deal. Still time left and need 4 to 5.

I'll pay a finders fee of 2 billion isk if you hook me up with a serious titan pilot and all goes well. So go ahead and link this forum thread in all your alliance and corp forums.

Thanks.

You're looking for the Want Ads & Trades subforum. Please repost this there if you're serious about it.
