Confirming that the concept of opportunity cost is just a lie told by the rich to fool the poor.

Just another form of supply, cleverly hidden from the main markets to keep prices high.

Although, it just might be legit

some people rather sell everything in one shot for half the profits instead of sitting there penny bashing newbies and trolls in Jita on like 6 characters or something.

8-12 days delivery time on 18b/piece supercapitals

At this point, I could guess exactly how the rest of the page would be written out (like every social engineering scam ever). And I was right.

So for me, not worth looking into this after a cursory glance.

Good luck, folks.

- First step is to register on the website. Which is very easy and can be done on this page: Registration.

- Once you have registered you will be able to deposit ISK into your EVE-BAZARR.COM Account.

- You'll need to deposit enough ISK to cover the price of the ship/item you wish to order.


I'm thinking not legit. Unless we're talking Corp/Alliance/Whatever mates, Cash and Goods change hands at the same time.

Also demonstrating a lack of understanding of mechanics with which they should be familiar if they were legit.

You need to pay before you get your ship without any game mechanics protection. You need to trust that they (he/she) will in fact deliver a few days after you have sent the money. And all of that out of anonymity, no names mentioned. They pay out no insignificant money for registering (didn't look at that via ingame browser, probably a phishing scheme as well?), and hand out up to hundreds of millions of ISK for referrals. They are not out to sell ships, but to collect ISK. It's either a blatant scam, or a Ponzi scheme.

They claim that they're capable of building and delivering capitals and supers within days, sounds legit!

Well, i took a risk and though i would try it. Here is my findings,I deposited 80m to buy there lowest ship to test then i spoke with the guy representing them during the process. He told me they don't deliver to any other station other than jita (when it says on there site that they deliver to any corner of the universe).

Once i asked about this he said sorry and said they can deliver to amar. So that was my first hint they might not be squeaky clean. I waited a few hours and got my contracted ship to amar and sold for decent profit. So still a little skeptical i decided to up the anti and got for a ship at 180m, i waited 48 hrs and nothing i got ignored from in game reps and my emails ignored.
The site said 4-6 hrs for my ship, so i have accepted the fact that it's not legit.

I'm thinking high probability of phishing and key-logging. Personally I literally wouldn't click on anything on that page.
