AGAIN, that is buying the standings from the USIA, thats where im getting that pricing from.. and unless you are spamming distribution/storylines, or doing all the career agents/cosmos/epic arcs it will take a while to get to that point yourself.
I respect that you are some what of an EVE vet and just giving friendly and helpful advice to someone.
Ultimately, Ham Rici is entitled to accept what he feels is right for him as I am in my power to stop bidding at any time, sort of goes without saying. I just feel it will take me a long time to make 45 billion, so I am likely out (yes I am kind of broke).
(not disclosing my final price, but it wont be 60 billion although my offer of 23 billion stands for now)
