I have no idea who would be such an idiot to do something like that. I've just wondered. It's a question that I thought a few days ago and it's been nagging me since.

The buyer would amke a nice profit for re-selling it.

Obviously, but will it completely annihilate the entire economy or something?

Since you cannot sell them on the market or by contract, how would that work unless it was intentional?



There's a million angry citizens looking down their tubes..at me.

Why would it ruin the economy? It would only change ahnd as if it was given for free and no one would care about the price.

I've heard of people who sell things worth a billion for a million and somehow that messes some things up. I don't really know how, though.

It does nto unless you can actaully feed the market in a large quantity to really move the average price. And even then, it would come abck to the original place after some time.

It is an effective way to launder ISK.

Oh. So nothing would happen but people laughing at the guy who sold it. That's kind of disappointing. I thought it would somehow screw everything up.

A few people might suffocate from the laugh if it's proven to be a misstake but thats pretty much it yeah.

Then a trustworthy 3rd party would have to hold that 1 isk for you.

If someone were silly enough to sell me a titan for 1 ISK, I would feel compelled to spend a few bil on a throwaway Titan pilot, jump the ship to an Amamake undock, and batphone PL. At that point, that ship is so tainted with tard, I wouldn't even want it.

I sell expensive ships from one of my characters to another for next to nothing all the time. I have yet to see it affect the economy in any way whatsoever.
