I recently bought a set of BPOs for capital parts. Due to a delay in the actual production of capital ships, I’m looking to use the set of BPOs as collateral to keep my liquid ISK up so I can keep making my income from market.
Period of the loan will be between 2 and 3 months. The loan provider(s) will receive monthly payouts on their invested principal OR reinvestment, at their discretion.
The collateral will be given to ENorn - awaiting asset valuation
The Borrower needs money and has collateral worth as much or more as the money needed.
If the Borrower gives the Lender the collateral, it may be worth more than the money given, meaning the Borrower is at risk of losing their collateral to an unscrupulous Lender.
If the the Borrower does not give collateral, the Lender is at risk of losing money if the Borrower just walks away with the money.
You also run the risk of either party not following through with returning collateral/money at the end (though Eve contracts could resolve this).
So, both parties agree on a third party to hold the collateral until such a time that the Borrower pays back the loan plus interest to the Lender.
Sometimes trusted third parties will give loans, but if they have no interest in doing so, you still need to resolve the problems above.
