I know they’re normally picked up in the region locally - but when areas are burning or people are in a rush to leave I’m surpised there isn’t an investor who offers, say, 80% Jita Buy value via evepraisal if the capital/mods/battleships/whatever else goes on the list is contracted to them…
I honestly thought this would be a thing… so just saying
Have a nice night all o/
It happens. Unfortunately, if you’re not a part of the people “moving in” for that area, you’re going to be without that stuff for nearly 3 weeks at worst anyways.
It’s usually materials and subcaps that you can find the more worthwile deals on. With the “death” of outposts though, it’s a bit harder to find the good deals.
Your banking on people who are losing items in player owned stations not to be retards?
They are dumb to be in the position in the first place, they are dumb to list assets 115% Jita prices in contracts & 110% local price and CCP is dumb to offer such stupidly low contract list price’s. You are dumb for browsing contract market looking for bargains.
Until CCP introduces sensible fee’s for contract system say 15% commission (which is more or less real life fee’s then CCP’s system will always be full of junk).
TL;dr We need 15% at least fee’s on public contract listings.
My experience with the few times I tried were that the turnaround time was huge and a good deal of the value was tied up in fitted rigs which are hard to sell.
I agree, contracts needs some looking at specifically the fees portion. Afaik, CCP stays away from it because it’s such a convoluted codebase that any changes would probably break something else.
