Capsuleer Express is a loan company where we front the ISK for the item you want, we will hold the item for you and then you pay it off to us over time! Once you have it fully paid off, you will receive the item via contract.

Addressing the discussion part (of Market Discussions) rather than the sale thread part, I see one potential fly that you'll need to be aware of to cover your own back.

The "I buy the thing you want then sell it to you later when you can afford it" model is going to be susceptible to people trying to say "I want that one!" whilst pointing to their suspiciously overpriced tags/crystals/other low volume junk that's easily manipulated, paying the 1% setup fee, letting you buy said junk and then disappearing off into the sunset leaving you trying to sell said overpriced junk.

Yeah that is a risk that is taken, but that risk applies to almost any and every loan service

Hi,

There is already a thread in Sell Orders on that subject; you are welcome to use this one to discuss the specifics of the service you provide, but I would ask you to change the title and text of this thread accordingly.

Thanks!

This seems like it will be very rarely used because the item purchased is locked up until the loan is paid off. You might have more success if you allowed the item to be released if the player hands over an equivalent value of items to be held as collateral.

Of course the down side ends up being more hassle to collect collateral and verify its value and the possibility of people use your service to exchange junk they're having a hard time unloading for something else and not paying off the loan.

Why would anyone use this instead of just saving up the money and buying the thing for oneself?

This would be for the players who want to secure an item that is for sale and not wish to worry about the risk of it ending up being sold to another player while they work on getting the isk for the item.
There are plenty of other avenue's (more expensive too) for a player to get a loan either secured or unsecured to get the item. If a players wants an item right away then I would suggest that they look into those options rather than my service

To protect themselves against price fluctuations and/or the item getting sold out.

I.e. I have a reason to believe that Widget II is going to rise in price due to a patch which boosts Widgets. So I want to buy a couple hundred Widget IIs, but I don't have the ISK to do it right now. I could use OP's service to buy them, and once I get enough cash to actually get them for myself sell them at a profit.

That makes since however i don't see this as a scam BUT i don't see this as a service that will really be needed Per say.

that instance i quoted is the only time i can find that it makes sense to use said service, however i guess keep an eye on the updates :)

ok idea, but i wonder if it will take off
