What do i offer

I offer to buy PLEX for you either directly from market sell orders or via buy orders i set up on your behalf


How much do i charge


For non urgent orders i will place a buy order on the market on your behalf for an initial fee of 5MIL, and additional 1MIL for each 10 MIL difference between the lowest sell order and the highest buy order.

For example if the lowest sell order is 480 MIL and the highest buy order is 467MIL i will charge you 1 MIL on top of the 5 MIL brokerage fee. If towest sell order is 500 MIL, then i will charge 2 MIL.

This is to cover the likelihood or price rises in the initial buy order

I am based in Amarr, so the price is PLEX is based on the Amarr market.


How does it work


I will ask for 400 MIL upfront as collateral, and then contract the PLEX back to you once it is purchased. For example if a PLEX is bought at 467.45 MIL. I will contract it back to you @ 67.45 MIL (price difference) + 6 MIL (brokerage fee) = 73.45 MIL.


How much do you save


For PLEXes bought through buy order, my service can save you10-30 MIL per PLEX on the price of direct market buys plus I will save you the trouble of spending time to babysit your buy orders and updating them regularly


What other services can i provide

I am currently training my Retail skill to level 5. Soon I will provide additional services such as Retail Space for hire, and investment opportunies.

Once trust builds i will glsdly act as a broker for any other items you wish to purchase off the market.


How often to i update my market orders

When i am online i usually update my market orders once every half hour to an hour. I am usually online each day.


Why not move to Jita

I have better standings with Amarr, once my standings rise with Jita and depending on demand, i will naturally move the business over to Jita


What collateral can i provide

The only items i can provide as collateral are trade goods. But in business reputation is everything, I would not wish to jeopardize my reputation over this.


If anyone is interested my services or wish for me to help them broker the sale of other items or would like to hire my retail space, please contact me in game @ Zendo Akuma


Updated services

I am now able to offer retail space up for hire. The brokerage fee for putting up buy orders is 1% or total cost (the same rate as the default CCP fee), and i will update your oder regularly.

For sell orders I will charge 2% of the total cost of the item.


I am looking for manufacturers and industrial players who wish to work together and have a stable an readily available retail space to sell and purchase their goods

Why would people use a brokering service? Unnecessary risk, for minimal savings? Really? I mean, they can just set up their own buy orders with a market alt in Jita or Rens &c.

something smells fishy about the whole broker thing...

I think the merchants are having trouble finding actual consumers and well, to be honest im pretty annoyed.

Im beginning to suspect that plex and plex alone will be the catalyst to spawn the inflation spike that might or might not happen.

i guess i would just like to put my trained trading skills to use

I dont have enough capital yet to go into big time trading, but i can offer brokerage service and retail service to manufacturers and producers, even missioners looking to sell their loot for a better price.

PLEX was just something i occasionally traded in, and since PLEX market is moving with high volumes, i thought it would be one product i feel confident about buying and selling

If you can "occasionally trade" in PLEX, you have the capital to start trading. About 500 million is a good start. A billion is even better. You can make fantastic profits with those quantities, no need to start a brokerage service which has scam written in giant red letters all over it. (Whether or not it is a scam, that's how MD will see it).

IUnforunately I spent all my capital on the power of 2 offer and fitting my new alt with +5 implants :(

So im trying to make some capital for myself.

Don't really see the point of this - if I have to wait until the PLEX is bought/sold I could just as well set up my own order.

If you were able to give me the price instantly independent of when the PLEX order fills I would understand the concept.

I'm confused. How could I save anything when you charge 3m more then the sell orders? If I was to buy from a sell order without your service at 482.45m like in your example, I would pay 482.45m. Using your service I would pay 485.45m. 3m ISK more. Where does the 1.5 to 2m ISK savings you claim come from?

It comes from not getting Jita Local scammed, because you're the type of simpleton who would fall for something like this.

The saving comes from tax

If you buy straight from a Sell order you will pay 1% in Sales Tax which is going to be around 4.8 MIL

My accounting skill is at 5, so i only pay half of that sales tax

That is incorrect. When you buy from a sell order, the seller pays the sales tax. You pay zero taxes and zero broker fees when you buy from a sell order regardless of any skill level. In Eve, the seller is always the one that directly pays the sales tax.

updated my service

Sorry for my noobish mistake earlier on the sale tax.


Now that i have Retail trained to 5 I am able to offer retail spaces up for hire

For buy orders i charage 1% of total cost (final buy price)

and for sell orders i charge 2% (final sell price)



I work on the Amarr market, so the prices are based on Amarr prices.


For buy orders you will need to forward me 75% of the cost of the items (based on the highest buy order) and once your item is purchased i will contract it back to you for additional price difference + my brokerage fee

For sell orders, you will have to contract the item to me (in Amarr station) once sold I will forward you the ISK - my brokerage fee
