A liquidate assets function,

simply put pay per use of the function @ 10 bucks or

if you wanted to complicate it

10 bucks = for each 500m worth of liquidated assets.

I offer a service like that. Contract 500 mill worth of assets along with a plex to me. I'll accept if I log on eventually.

NO.

Why would you want to bypass the market?
What are you trying to accomplish?

Those of us who have assets that are no longer accessible would have the choice to pay to have the asset value returned, asset raw basket placed back in the system.

Its a simple idea - whats the alternative,

run around for months trying to place all your assets on the market, joining corps that own stations in null sec where assets are locked away, or have the choice to $'s to have the isky returned.

Its no different then paying for a timecard and selling it for isk on the bazzar.

I can see why Morans have recruited you!

Sounds like a good idea, and the only thing i would visit nex for as im not into dressing up dolls.

The alternative is don't leave assets in outposts that you are going to loose access to.

And in the event that, that does happen - or in the likely hood you cnba spending months trying to haul it and sell it etc etc,

I dont understand what is with the flaming, trolling and completley useless contributions to this discussion - its an idea and one which I think most people would find useful should they want to liquidate their assets and have the isk returned.

Nobody is gaining any advantage from it.

I think this would be a great idea...

At the end of the day you choose to pay for it or you take the time to go pick up all your stuff, same model as:
Paying for a Game Time Code and selling it for isk in my opinion.

Liquidate assets would be a fantastic button if it was for free but in the scheme of "Greed is good" they wont do that -

I can see Himler licking his lips at this one =>> and with this service actually being useful to the player base it may have more backing and notthe dressing up dolls route.

Liquidate at what rate?

Base mineral value at some price that CCP decide at some point?

It's another isk faucet. Plex, on the other hand, doesn't create isk. it just moves it around.

Ugh Can't support.

Woo! CSM XI!

Removes an aspect of action = consequence from the game, so -1 from me.

This isn't the same as $ -> PLEX -> ISK as it creates/destroys in game assets.

Not 100% on this, but I think you can sell your stuff without docking with the Marketing skill? At least stuff that doesn't need repackaging.

While your suggestion could perhaps be workable, the previously mentioned items make it extremely unlikely. Also, it is totally unnecessary and would be a bad investment for anyone to make:

Assuming PLEX is worth ~350,000,000+ ISK at any given time,
350,000,000 ISK / ~15$ = 23,333,333.33 ISK/$
10$ * (23,333,333.33 ISK/$) = 233,333,333.33 ISK
500,000,000 ISK - 233,333,333.33 ISK = 266.666.666.67 ISK
(Return) - (Sacrificed Investment) = (Real Return)

In the end, you might as well have contracted your stuff at ~53% of its value and used your extra $ to just buy PLEX. I have no doubt someone who lives down in that area would be glad to take your stuff for a quick "Double Your Money" deal. I bet you could even sell your stuff pretty quickly for ~70% of its value, and actually come out ahead of what you suggest.
