Market Discussions

Today we launch the NSA IPO.

~The Details~

I have finally managed to broker a major supply agreement with a nullsec alliance. It has taken me years to make the agreement plausible.

The alliance in question has just settled into a new area & are expanding rapidly, and is busy defending it, they simply haven;t the time to be in jita shopping to fill the markets.

It works by using a Kanban system, developed using the new api & the local nullsec market. (Secret)

The kanban system automatically updates a google doc that i have access to, so i simply check the document, place orders & Have my freighter alt (No corp, no risk) ship it to the jump in point (highsec), contract to nullsec alliance jump couriers & away they go.

The payments are made to me via the Jump courier, i mark up 5% on top of what i buy it for, the jump courier pays me, i pay investors.

* IPO total = 25b
* Matched by my assets/liquidity = 25b http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1518564&page=2#50
* Amount of Shares to be issued = 500
* Amount of shares held by Techfree = 500
* Price/face value per Share = 50m
* Term/Share buyback, max 2 months, the nullsec alliance has agreed to a minimum of a month's worth of supply.

Payment Schedule:
The profits are to be 5% minimum per batch (as stated in the OP), the profits are then split 50/50, 50% of profits goto the share holders, 50% is held by the business & re-invested in products, less expenses of course. (there maybe upto 20 batches per month)

the first batch for e.g.
- 10 fitted rapiers,
- 10 fitted lachesis,
- 100 fitted abbadons. etc etc.
- faction/tech 2 ammo, drones.

the kanban system is setup to match the alliance's fleet doctrines, to ensure fitted/unfitted ships are available to match the doctrines. so they get into a fleet fight & everyone buys a new abbadon, the kanban system red flag's abbadons & i supply them next batch, then dispense profits via the dividend system

Happy to answer your questions & laugh at the trolls.



Investors/General Public are welcomed to join my Mailing list ( " iCandy " ) for constant updates on the bonds.

HI TornSoul,



This was 4 months ago, At the time i was getting my bpo library researched by VV, and sold some of it & re-bought some. I do have some collateral available, however it is going to be liquidated in order to maximize profits of my new venture. Expect to see a new sales thread with some Battleship BPO's in it soon.



Yes, im aware of the rate is very low but if im going to do this publically, i want to make some isk out of the 5% mark-up



yes it is an IPO, when the "term" is over, i will initiate a share buyback. the flexibility of a IPO is what appeals to me, in particular the term.

I also put in a term, as some may not know that an IPO, wont give isk back untill a buyback in initated.



updated payment schedule in OP.

Cheers for the gesture, i hope I have answered your questions. if you have any more please ask

I think you should reclassify this as a bond to save confusion. There is no equity growth and no profit sharing element to what you are offering.

It looks like a very big, very low interest, uncollateralised loan to me.

Fixed term is a common property of bonds, granted, but it's not what makes it a bond. However the key thing about IPO's is selling ownership of the business and its profits (whether distributed or retained). As you are not doing this, I see no reason why it should be referred to as an IPO.

Good luck anyway. I have some ISK burning a hole in my pocket but the rate combined with lack of collateral doesn't suit me.

correct the offering is as per the OP.



50b is a drop in the ocean, a 100 Vs 100 fleet fight usually tops this amount. given its a new area for these guys, the whole market needs to be seeded.

No-one in this nullsec alliance produces/manufactures anything other than supers & titans. it all comes from Jita.

the players that do the jump freighter runs are all corp ceo/director alts & they simply haven't the time to goto Jita every other day to buy things.



Nothing, the products on the kanban list can easily be sold at a profit margin in Jita/other hub, in fact if the mark-up is less than the margin i will likely just flip the items for profit untill the margin closes.

Other avenues are to produce as much as i can using my production team will increase margins further.



I will require shares to be returned before payments go out. will likely engage a 3rd party to handle this.




Actually i am doing this, the profits are to be 5% minimum per batch (as stated in the OP), the profits are then split 50/50, 50% of profits goto the share holders, 50% is held by the business & re-invested in products, less expenses of course.

the first batch for e.g.
- 10 fitted rapiers,
- 10 fitted lachesis,
- 100 fitted abbadons. etc etc.

the kanban system is setup to match the alliance's fleet doctrines, to ensure fitted/unfitted ships are available to match the doctrines. so they get into a fleet fight & everyone buys a new abbadon, the kanban system red flag's abbadons & i supply them next batch.

Splitting the profits at the end of a delivery would probably make more sense to you finance eggheads.

Hey, 750m a month is a lot to pay for rep-grinding up to your big cash-in scam at ~40b, especially if it all doesn't go as planned.

3% seems like a perfectly reasonable number in this case.

Yeah, I'm just "trolling" here. Keep telling yourself that.

Too bad your greed got the best of you here I suggest waiting a bit then cashing out at like 20b with a nice fat % to draw everyone in with. I doubt you'll ever make that coveted 40b+ scam now, though ~20b is nothing to sniff at.

Best of luck.

I've got far more than 25b.

You must think very little of your marks here if you hope that such a weak deflection would work. Probably best to just pipe down or you'll ruin any chance at coming away with a noteworthy scam haul.

I retract my goodwishes.
