[WTB] Corpses

Well, through Interstellar Correspondent's first article, a follow-up regarding me was also published.

As stated in the article and from my Bio:

Will Buy Corpses for 500K ISK (Male) and 1M ISK (Female). ALL THE TIME, ANYTIME (Please Contract in Highsec, preferably at trade hubs).

To keep unreasonably large and numerous contracts from devouring all my ISK some rules/guidelines:

1. As I stated above, highsec systems are where I want to accept corpses. This is why I pay a large amount to people, so they basically bring them to me. Also, If they are in trade hubs; Jita, Amarr, Hek, Rens, Dodixie, I am more likely to accept them quickly as I won't be flying from Lonetrek to Khanid and back to Molden Heath for a dozen corpses each.

2.a. Please keep contract sizes small, absolutely under 25Mil and preferably 20Mil (I may allow exceeding this rule on case by case basis, convo me in-game if you want to setup a higher one).

2.b. As a sub-clause give the contracts max time at two weeks, and limit the number to a max of two concurrently.

3. Dupes. This is a big one, what this rule entails is that I won't pay the same price for multiple corpses of the same capsuleer. Afterall someone could just keep self-destructing themselves or podding if they had an alt and gather up corpses for the ISK. How it works is simple enough; I pay half for every corpse that is a dupe. I.E.- Someone has three corpses of the same female capsuleer: 1st corpse is 1Mil, 2nd is 500K, and 3rd is 250K, down to 100K at the fifth (for females, males will drop to 50K). You can always expect 100K or 50K for them, just note that continually podding that poor fool won't get you millions of ISK, lol.

I do manually check the contracts and see if they have Dupes (I've had one with four of the same female capsuleer...-_-, but had to let it go cause I didn't have this up). If they show up (after this posting) I will be rejecting the contract and EVEmail why to the person, if it is re-upped and fixed I will accept it. I've had plans to setup a list online for reference since some corpses continually keep coming in (I know I have Jita bomber way more than a most any other corpse), but as it currently isn't up it is not an issue that I can track of though if I notice the name repeating from multiple contracts I will decline them.
Quote:
Till CCP fixes the contracts I can't check them until after I accept so that is how I will be doing it. Same basic premise remains, if I find dupes I won't be accepting contracts from the character if the price was wrong.


4.a. Special Corpses. I will pay more for unquie characters corpses. How much depends on actual fame/notoriety/infamy they command. Example: I paid 40mil for T'Amber.

4.b. New Sub-Clause to this section. Rather sadly someone who had actually started providing me with unique corpses decided to be a spaz and scammed me. *cough* Santo Trafficante *cough*
Quote:
Well played sire; you could have made good ISK from it, but you are a poor popper.

From this point on if you want to sell me special corpses it has to be done with third party involvement. Blame CCP for screwing with contracts so corpses have no names.


This pretty much covers everything I can thing of atm...Expect possible editing to happen in the near future.

TL;DR- If I reject your contract, see one of the rules above because You're Doing it Wrong. I'll explain it to you usually through an EVEmail.

Bump.

It seems that CCP in some kind of bizarre psychosis removed all names from corpses (SO GLAD I PAID 40MIL FOR T'AMBER...). Completely destroying the purpose I had in this endeavor...if they don't change it back to the old system (return names of pilots) I will probably stop collecting.

So please help and go to this thread and voice yourself: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=62621

Bump.

Current Corpse Count: 9928 (Edit: Big thanks to Gukumatzz for donating a huge collection of over 1K because he is leaving the game, It is very much appreciated.)

Names are back now, thought only after contracts have been finished, so if I will check them in hangers after accepting and if I find dupes that weren't counted I won't take contracts from that pilot anymore.

Sorry that I didn't respond to this in a timely fashion, I usually just stick to convo and mails for special corpses. If I can look them up in game and there is some history to the character I definitely will pay more, but as I said in OP 40 mil for T'Amber was an extreme case and it's likely I won't go that high unless it was a CCP dev/GM or Chribba. As it is I could only find two of those characters when I searched out of game, I'll check again to see the others in game later and hopefully convo/mail you.

Bump.

Current Corpse Count: 10,203

Also, updated rule set as CCP still hasn't fixed/rolled back the contract corpse name issue.

Unique corpses acquired:
Loren Gallen (Rank 4th on BC) and Jyren's Rage (Top 100 on BC).

I would have more like this but the guy providing them had to be a dink and scammed for some other high ranks on BC but exploited the broken contract system, so no more uniques through contracts. See the new rule set.

I'm going to assume this White Tree lost at one of the election runs for CSM, from my quick look at bio and online. I don't know much about the character so maybe 10 mil?

I'm interested in the ones you have as well Jude, if you find that Lukka one I would love to get it separately. I need to find a good third party peep to handle this stuff.

He was successfully elected but didn't do anything because he's fat and irish. Most of his CSM duties wound up being delegated to Prometheus Exenthal
