We here at Grooly Company Inc. wish to inform fellow couriers that there are pirates in High-Sec who WILL take your contracts shipment. Sadly, this happened to one of our customers. We would also like to remind fellow capsuleers that all conversations are recorded.

I thought this was stupid until he petitioned you. It's still pretty stupid, but that guy is stupider and I enjoy laughing at him.


What did you get, anyway?

200k stack of mexallon, 100k for each contract. Valued at 40 mill each, made up the entire collateral and got a nice reward of 20 million isk. (Collateral set at 20 million for both contracts)

Such an evil thing to do. Taking the poor man's mexallon, and undermining his faith in the courier system.

Well done Smile

Maybe next time he'll set a proper collateral.

Woo! CSM XI!

That was hilarious.

I do love a good courier contract lucky dip.

Only a few dozen mil? Pretty cheap for such a valuable lesson, if you ask me.

Always remember, kids:

A few percent above the market value is a good rule of thumb. You can also use a service like PushX that might be kind enough to reject your under-collateralized contract.

Thank you for never giving me a reason to regret placing you on my voting list.


Also, nice jacket.
