I guess I should explain how I work. Pricing is almost always between the Jita buy and sell order prices. I require a threshold income per slot. Probably 3/4 of the items that have been suggested to me have been turned down as unfeasible, as often it makes more sense to simply buy them from sell orders. If you're willing to pay over the Jita buy price for quantity/aggravation reasons, I am of course fine with that as long as it's over my threshold income.

There is no up-front cost, though on large orders I may request an advance in order to not cripple my daily finances (as noted previously in this thread I won't be taking orders large enough to need an advance until my current loans are corrected), it also guards me a bit against flaking.

I do not have an extensive BPO collection, I make them once I get orders for them; I have my own facilities so it's usually reasonably fast. I also buy researched BPOs sometimes and I'm a big fan of BPCs.

And I don't carry stock unless someone flakes. I guess I should mention the flake policy: if you flake on an order all future orders will require a non-refundable 50% advance. So far there have been two flakes, both quite profitable for me as the prices shot up right away XD

Things will be a bit slow right now due to a griefdec but I don't think production will be hurt substantially. At the moment I'll be slow getting back to you due to RL, as well.

That griefdec is unfortunate. If you need a neutral 3rd party to provide transport and freighter services until the dec expires then send me an evemail ingame. We may be able to make a deal to keep you reasonable operating until the dec resolves.

Okay, the wardec's been taken down. But school's still a little crazy so it'll be a couple days until I address everyone.

The 2 billion forward is no longer the case so my only debt is 1B.

I'm thinking about putting in a deposit for both security and cash-flow reasons; opinions?

I've decided to institute a 50% advance policy on all orders; it can be returned only until I've purchased the goods. It looks like I have enough buyers that I can afford to alienate those who don't trust me.

Update: removing advance requirement.

Exceptions:
a) if you have canceled an order in the past
b) if I can't break even on selling the item myself if you don't take it

The maximum amount I can accept is 100M over all advances, for loan security purposes.

Also bump ^_^
