EVE Museum is a public non-profit company and hereby proudly announces its second public share sale. EVE Museum has the function of buying, preserving and exhibiting legacy ships and artefacts.

The first share sale was in July 2015 with 1000 shares for 20 mil ISK per share. With this new share sale, 1000 more shares will be sold, while the sell price and buyback price for ALL shares is increased to 30 mil ISK per share.

CistaCista (aka Cista2) is ceo of the museum. The museum is public in the sense that all transactions are publicly known. Assets are however in my control and shareholders have no ownership over the assets..
Public api keys of both CistaCista and the corp can be seen on the webpage.

Finances of the company: please see latest financial report. The artefacts have an estimated worth of 150 bn. The total sum liabilities will now be 60 bn ISK for 2000 issued shares. Dividends have been paid out since the start in July, growing from 1.1% to 2.2% for November.

When these 1,000 shares have been sold @ 30 mil isk per share, there are still 8,000 other shares in the museum that are not on sale. Dividends are paid in the beginning of each month after the financial report from the accountant of the museum.

Send the money for shares to the EVE Museum corporation. You can buy any number between 1 and 200 shares. If you already bought shares in July, you can now buy again.

As alternative to buying shares, you can also donate money to the museum, or give the museum a loan with no interest rate.

Would like pledge 20b

So ive been away a while so missed the roll-out of this endeavor.

I have a observation though if you'd be so kind.
Reading back through your previous threads the basic idea behind the museum is you sell shares in the corp to finance the purchase of rare items in the eve universe to players/investors for a small monthly dividend return.
All items can be viewed by anybody by joining corp and viewing via trade window or whatever other method is applied, all purchase and transactions can be viewed via the API provided thereby making it a very open and honest endeavor in the eyes of investors.

In your own words, all items donated/purchased are, and always will be, the personal property of the corp ( in other word you, via your char cistacista )

So essentially what your doing is getting other people to finance the purchase of high value and rare items for your personal gain under the guise of 'anyone can totally view anything at any time so its for everybody and not for personal gain'

Whats stopping you, say in a years time, to offer the last 1000 shares for 1b each based on the reputation you've built and then closing the corp? Thereby obtaining trillions if isk and possibly many trillions more in assets at absolutely no risk to yourself, while costing peanuts in monthly dividends?

Im not sure weather to call you a genius, or all your investors complete morons for making another player ridiculously wealthy without actually realizing what they're doing. Bravo man lol

Monies sent to EVE Museum

Wait,.. EVE Museum is a public non-profit company.. what?

I see how that is confusing. I have created a chimera with this corp structure..
The thing is that the museum itself does not create any sort of income, since it is just a vault for things. So yea, it is non-profit.

But since I want people to Invest their good money in the museum, I need to offer something. What I have chosen to do is back off from making more bonds on the Cista2 character and instead channel my current and future profits on the Cista2 character through the museum shares. Those profits go into one of the two museum wallets and are used both to pay out dividends and assist the museum in buying stuff. That's how investors get actual dividends although the museum itself creates no profits.

Shares are still available, next dividend payout is beginning of January! Dividend history can be seen here.

Sounds great - it might be 24 hours from now before I can transfer the shares, I will let you know when they are sent.

This thread even comes with a wall of shame
