Dear all, thanks for all your wonderful ideas.

What you guys did sent to me

Have gone through them and want to thank you for your great ideas. There were also many ideas on market manipulation (PLEX, LP, low cost items, etc) and many ideas requiring foresight (e.g., ICE items going up in price soon, etc etc). These are undoubtedly great ideas - but I do not feel at ease with these, as I can't verify them and might get burned.

Selected 5 top ideas contesting for the 3 prices. These are the 5 front runners (in alphabetical order , not in terms of best idea to worst idea, so all 5 contend equally):

Arrow Hiver Chanlin - renter brokerage, renting alliance, 0.0 infrastructure
Arrow Morikar - Complete supercap packs with 3500 arties and the like
Arrow Shockwaves2009 - jumpfreighter packs
Arrow Wescro - buying/selling PLEX
Arrow Zakarumit CZ - informed pre-patch stocking

However, have made a shortlist of 5 ideas that are going to compete for the top 3 prices (or more if like last time I deem them all worthwhile) . I will send the originators of these 5 ideas a mail and ask them to elaborate their ideas in terms of:
Arrow margin potential ("what can you earn on these items?")
Arrow volume potential ("how much of them could one sell?")
Arrow investment requirements ("what do you need to spend to get into the business?")
Arrow explaining me how it works technically (e.g., buy XYZ BPO, lock them down via mechanism ABC, rent out via 123, etc)

Announcement of the winners will be done December 1

what became of the chosen plans from the previous contest you had? Did they make you rich?


Forgot to answer this one, I selected 3 ideas out of the 9 and I invested over 500 bln ISK in them making a great profit (and still going strong)

Have decided to up the ante, total price money will be at least 2,25 billion for the 5 shortlist candidates. New ideas still welcome of course. Closure on Dec-1

One more remark: if somebody has a good idea for me, just send it to me in game, even if their is no contest running. Will handsomely reqard good ideas and dont worry about not getting paid for a real good idea; I also pay out more in these contest than I originally promise
