So, someone somewhere made some idle threats against me. While I don't particularly care about threats, given that I'm a station trader, I also don't like people to think that I won't act on it because ... oh whatever. I know his last known location, and I need someone to gank him for me and leave a message.

So I figured a reverse auction would be in order. Payment will be 25% up front, and the remainder when I get an eve-mail with the killmail in. Chances are that you only need a couple of catalysts to do it (since it might be likely that he's in a mining barge), so include ship costs in your offer.

There'll be a bonus of 20M if he's in his mining barge, but I'll take any kind of ship if that's what I can get.

He's in a player corp, but I'm not interested in the rest of them -- I want a gank, not a full-blown war, and as such the fees should reflect that.

I rarely hire mercenaries, so if I missed any details or anything else that I should have covered please tell me. Character name and last known location will be sent to the winning offer. The auction ends 2 days from now, at 27/07/12 (that's D/M/Y for you Americans) 13:00 EVE time.

I would be willing to offer up a 100m kicker for the podkill just to make sure this 'lesson' is learned.

Will you bring the frozen corpse intact or piecemeal?

I have a lover, her name is EVE. I see her every night and all she asks in return is that I have a pilot's license.

That would depend on the one who podkills. Intact would be nice, with the API verified killmail. My post was simply added incentive for someone to pick this up. I'm no merc, I'm like Kailean, I hardly leave the station much due to trade activities and time constraints, but I'd like this fellow to learn a lesson or two.

Ah! I misread your post and thought you said something something completely different, LOL. For some reason I thought you were the Merc asking for an extra 100m bonus if you could bring the corpse Lol

Why would I do that when I can pay someone to do that for me? Twisted

Somehow I get the impression both of you are really the same person and you're having a delightful conversation with yourself.

I'll do it for 50m.

I used to have a clever sig but I lost it.

We will do it for 12mil, basically the costs of the Catalysts. We get to keep any loot/salvage that drops. We always go for the pod, too.

We will do it for 50 isk.

I mean, come on now. Using alts to artificially alter a forum "auction" is dumb. Especially when you bring the offer well below the break even price for time and resources expended.

You didn't really expect anyone to take you seriously, did you?

Given that it's my auction and I can ignore bids at will (as well as having no idea what Cyprus Black is talking about), I'll contact Daemon Ceed ingame with the details.

I'm afraid the auction has already closed. Not to worry though, things might get interesting (or maybe not) should this succeed. Twisted

dang that cheap - what few of you realize is the high sec gank is quite costly - ships are cheap, but the standings loss you are asking the merc to take is quite high - they keep doing those they will shortly be out of a job in high sec.

Tisk tisk, bad businessmen.

Well, since it was so cheap I added some further incentive for Daemon Ceed and his crew in that if they get the pod they'll receive a bonus payment of 100M (matching CorInaXeraL's offer). This would have been available for whoever got the contract, but I decided that there's no need to play all my cards immediately; better then to hold on to a few, should the need arise.

edit: To clarify, the bonus is in addition to CorInaXeraL's bonus. If s/he doesn't want the corpse I'll gladly take it, but the bonus will be paid as long as I get a confirmed pod kill -- corpse or no corpse.

I want the corpse to decorate my hull. Or the couch and scare visitors. Either way.

Just waiting on that confirmation.
