Is there much of a market for buying and selling corpses? Would somebody pay a particular amount to have someone who is a fairly famous or notorious player? Would somebody here pay good ISK to have a certain troublesome pirate corpse in there inventory?

I mean you hear about people that like to collect ships but why not a collector of corpses right?

In between people I guess but not to search the market for.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

I collect corpses. I would never buy or sell - that would wreck the integrity of my collection.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Yes, there are people who buy corpses for their meatlockers. And yes, they generally (but not always) pay more for female corpses, as well. Big-name corpses are more valuable, usually, as well, but it depends on the buyer.

Check out the Market Discussions section of the forums, and do a few forum searches for keywords such as buying, selling and corpses.

I used to collect corpses a few years ago. I may start again, but I don't discriminate on price. All corpses are equal.

I am saving up all the corpses I find for the Mordu's supercarrier that is coming out next year. It uses corpses as jump fuel.

The first time we killed Shrike's Avatar we sold the corpse for 500m.

Sadly a Shrike's Frozen Corpse isn't nearly so rare these days.

I sold CCP Greyscale's corpse for 2 billion isk a few years ago. ALWAYS show up to live events when you can is the takeaway. You bet there's a bunch of pods that collect corpses. Several people have done quite well as dead body brokers too... it's crazy lucrative! There's a great market for it. Certain famous EvE players can command a good price for their corpses too... A good demo would be if some of you pods w/ dead body collections posted your inventory. I met a guy last year who had a big chunk of CCP's staff hanging out as frozen corpses in a station can Big smile

I'd buy rare corpses for a good price. I could care less about flavor of the month 0.0 characters, but CCP devs, or other well known players that have been in the game for a long time... sure!

I would buy corpses if we could dress them up and have teaparties with them in our CQ.

I would have a physical relationship with them, but I would like to get to know them a bit first. That and the hot tea would help to rehydrate and warm them up so it doesnt feel like frozen beef jerky.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Why are EVE players so messed up in the head?
