Making ISK from thin air

This is not something new. I've been doing it for years, as have many players. But it never ceases to amaze me how ISK may be easily generated, as if out of thin air.

The secret is junk. Junk will sell. Every once in a while I note a pile of useless stuff and put it up for sale (at an appropriate place). The results are nearly always rewarding. I did this with an alt a couple of days ago at one station- and this is what I saw today. Thought I'd share my amusement :)

Any colour you like.

You aren't generating ISK out of thin air, you are getting it from other players.

To generate ISK from thin air, one must find the agent named "The Bernake!". He lives someplace out in null sec, a hidden system with the lowest security rating ever seen.

He gives tough missions, but once you have a 9.0 standing, he just hands you ISK and pays you interest for taking it.

Reminds me of the Mudcrab Merchant.

Isk out of thin air made me think this was going to be about incursions...

A good old Spring cleaning garage sale is always a great way to make a little ISK on the side :)

Hmmm, maybe we've taken his statement too literally. Big smile

Maybe by 'thin air' hes merely referring to the fact that the loot came from space, afterall, this is a space game.

Abait there is virtually no air in space but there is some, thus it is thin in a way.

Hopefully that clears things up ....we ALL just inferred incorrectly from his statement. Blink

Fly safe. o7

It's broken and it's been broken for a long time and it'll be broken for some time to come.

I didn't think it was possible, but I am actually dumber now after looking at OP's link.

This must be nerfed. It is why everything is getting so expensive. Too much isk can be generated this way.
