Will be in touch!

Thank you all again for such a constructive thread. My BPO guy and a few others have a meeting scheduled tonight in which we will decide exactly what we will have to offer for collateral and give you guys a good estimate of what we will be looking for when the bond launches (yes I said when!).

Thanks again.

Edit: If there is anything else you guys have any questions about please let me know!

Sounds good thank you for you're interest Genoir.

Hello Sasha,

No worries, if you present a well thought out proposal, I am sure you will get good proposals back later, I am definately interested to follow up when/if you are ready :-)

What this guy said.

You want to raise 1b.

and you are sitting on 2 plex.

lets put 2 and 2 together here.

sell the plexies.

either your trying to gain reputation. or you are making things more complex and crazy than they need to be

Let me see if I can clarify a few things for you.

The PLEX as collateral was my initial idea. 2x PLEX = Over 1Billion ISK, overcollateralized bond = gets filled by almost anyone who has any decent business sense. Claire Coffee brought up a good point about PLEX being a pretty unstable item and the chance at revaluation throughout the bond.

After asking what others thought would be a good standard source of collateral, Candy Oshea listed an incredible post filled with questions, many of which I had never even considered. The idea of BPO's as collateral was born (well not born but a big light went on in my head). And so it came to fruition that we would be using BPO's as collateral.

As to why I don't just liquidate my PLEX and use the 1 billion ISK to fund this operation...
-I have stated before this is on behalf of my corporation and the PLEX don't belong solely to me, they were just the first idea we had of something that could be offered as colateral and would be widely accepted.
-When the idea of BPO's being collateral at NPC prices came up we all sort of "why the heck didn't we think of that" and realized the potential of offering a BPO that could be researched during the length of the bond.
-At the end of the bond, we receive a researched BPO, the investor receives the initial capital + all incurred interest and both parties are happy. I underlined that text because it took a while for even my BPO guy to understand the idea behind it..

If this doesn't answer you're question please feel free to respond again with a more specific question, or rather something that wasn't previously answered.

Yes, I am fully aware that you can see my NPC corp on my alt.

Scam.

Well to each his own Varius. I came here looking for advice, attempting to answer any questions before even attempting to launch a bond. Calling an overly collateralized bond a scam before it even launches seems silly to me, but again I am an unknown face in the MD and I understand people will deface any decent proposal they deem fit.

With this said, should you have any questions or feel the need to post something with some actual content, please feel free. Otherwise enjoy you're stay and thank you for the post.

I told myself I would respond to every comment in the thread, wether it be positive or negative, in the best way I could. After 6 hours of class and 8 hours of work I do apologize if I missed the "sarcasm" in a one word post on my thread.
