Terms of the bond:

Amount: 1 Billion isk
Time frame: 1 month
Interest: 10%
Total to be repaid: 1.1 billion
Time frame: June 15th to July 15th
Coll: none

Loan reason: Newer player looking to expand current trading.

My account started with the 15 day trial which I then expanded with a 30 day term. I also bought at the time 2 Plex which I sold to start off with some more isk. I do some mission running but mainly trade. I am completely happy to answer in game most questions about my trading practices to a serious lender. To be honest it is nothing original but again will be happy to discuss it with a real investor.

Experience: In RL I am involved in Risk management and also trade in RL. RL trading is different and I understand that but it is somewhat applicable. (where the hell is my MACD!! lol) I am able to apply RL knowledge of risk management to my trading, again nothing new to the game, just want to be clear I understand risk/ reward. About as far as I want to discuss RL in a game though.

My overall goal is really to use my isk to make more isk with the goal of creating a steady flow of about 100% returns in a month. With the isk amounts I am thinking I do not believe it is setting my goals to high. The whole reason I bought my PLEX was to create a revenue source so as to not have to pay out of pocket for the game. (I count that as a victory!!)

I started with about 800 isk (I bought some ships, gear and several + implants for my toons about 200m worth) and now have about 2.3b isk. (that is based on orders+cash+items) so I believe putting a little leeway in there 1.9 - 2.4b is a little more accurate.

My ideal investor would even be an experienced trader with whom would be willing to work/teach me as I grow in the game, I understand this is less likely as people like to keep their methods "secret" but I have to ask. :) Even some guidence based on previous experiences would be nice.

If somehow I did lose all my isk and am unable to repay the loan I would just buy 2 plex and repay with those or the isk from selling them.

Again, to anyone who is seriously considering this I am happy to answer questions in game. I would prefer 1 single investor. If more then 1 is involved I would like the contributors to be known to each other and both help me if willing as I asked above. (in which case 2 would be great!!)

*** I started with about 800 million isk*** left out the million in the above statement!

If nobody else is interested I can provide this loan under the following conditions

* You will provide me with a full API key (all boxes checked) for all characters on your account (and any other accounts you might have) before I send ISK.
If I find anything that doesn't match your story or looks otherwise suspicious I will post about it here (without disclosing unnecessary details of your business) and retract my loan offer.

* You are welcome to ask me any trading questions you might have but the likelihood of a useful answer is low; I don't do serious trading.

I'm sorry if that is not quite what you have been looking for but it is the best I have to offer.
Feel free to contact me in-game (usually online as Avensys) if you have any questions rgd my terms (which are not negotiable) or MD offerings in general.


PSt: You can export an item's price history either manually or through a cache reader. Import the information into a spreadsheet or financial software of your choice (might have to guesstimate some missing data for the latter) and you should be able to calculate your MACD without problems.

I am newer to the game and have seen API key discussed, I have seen a limited and full talked about.

I am not disagreeing with your offer, I just need to find out what exactly I am giving you access to in my account and if it is somethng I can block later, once you have checked. I will try to get back after googling this as soon as I can.

Thank you for making an offer and hopefully we can come to an agreement. bbl

If you give her your full API, you are not giving her access to your account (just your past trades, skill points, etc.).... Do not give your account password to anyone.

It's fairly standard to ask for the full API.

You can change it later, and block all access.

Holy ****, Pinkerton. This is a great idea.

I'm totally going to start up a trade alt then "audit" him myself to build credibility.

Very clever.

Bond repayment sent 1 day early since I am not sure if I will be on tomorrow.

Bond went well.

I made enough to buy a plex for my account.
I spent some and gave some isk to friends and corp.

The Bad
I had 2 trades go bad for me. (minmatar ship datacores...and another item)
I shipped a few times but just got ganked so I will hire out shipping in the future if needed. Small price to pay and if the shipment does not pay the costs, the trade is not worth doing.

The Good.
Made the Plex
Have more Isk then when I started the bond.
Learned a lot about trading. This may in fact be the most valuable to me long term with


I may do another bond in the future, am going to think about it for a while.

Confirming that I received principal and interest.

Working with Drago was a very pleasant experience, he did a great job at keeping me updated about the state of his business throughout the duration of this loan. I wish he were my alt Twisted
