So I was doing some inter-regional trading yesterday. One of my transactions involved buying 54 implants that were selling in Dodixie for 650k each (sell orders) and selling them in Rens to buy orders for 710k each. I made ~3.5million isk on the transaction and didn't think anything else of it. Like I said, it was one of several transactions over the course of the evening.

I should add that I bought the implants with two separate orders, one of a single implant and another of 53. I then sold them to two different orders in Rens, one of 28 and another of 26.

I then got this eve mail today:

You will be podded.

If you would have just told me you had 53 Cybernetics , I could have made a Contract.

YOU NEVER CLEAR ORDERS.

You screwed me in 2 Regions +.

I now will happily pay the Pirates 1 Billion ISK to Pod you , Idiot


So I'm not sure what kind of system this guy is running. The fact that a one month trader doing simple inter-regional trading can screw him in 2 regions with a single transaction of about 37million isk doesn't seem to bode well.

I'm sure there is something I'm missing here, so if someone can enlighten me I'd appreciate it.

There's a general truism in trading: The further you get from the busy hubs, the more likely you are to run into some aspie who believes himself to be a local king-pin.

These people tend to be far more amusing than dangerous. For best results, continue doing business in the area, taunt him mercilessly, and save the mails for comic relief (don't forget to post the good ones).

If you **** off another trader, you're doing something right.

More like: if you're not pissing off another trader, you're doing it wrong.

If he actually does hire people paying 1bn isk for your pod, make an arrangement with the hired goons to split the earnings in exchange for an easy kill.

Then with his Isk, continue to **** with his orders.

Hehe, I can see it now, throwing a fit.

If he threatens you, threaten him back. I often find in debates online, those who appeal to force, bravado an insult are as imapcted by their own tactics as they hope you will be. They apparently feel that such attitudes will motivate others. So throw it right back in his face, but use it to your advantage such as "If you do not keep over priced buy orders up, so that I can sell to you, I'll have some guys come kill you!"

tell him 300mil and you will go to another regions space and never return
take money and do nothing, claim you never got the isk and to send it for real

worst case scenario he gets mad, best case you get 600mil or so
