So, what did all that work get me? So far, 451 bookmarks. Lots of fun copying them to cargo too. Five at a time. Woot! Now to see if this will sell. I need the money. I keep envisioning my bank account overflowing with billions of ISK from bookmark sales. I'm likely kidding myself.
I just posted my ad on the EVE-O forums:
Travel Stain quickly and easily with the STAIN TRAVEL BOOKMARK COLLECTION.
Includes bookmarks for every system in the region of STAIN.
Each system includes an observational bookmark (180-225km) on every gate. An instant dock bookmark (at 0km) on every station. An undock bookmark (650-1250km) for near-instant warping from a station undock.
This collection contains 451 bookmarks.
COST: 250,000,000 (250 million) ISK
EveMail POETIC STANZIEL with the character you wish to receive the contract. I will then send you three contracts (contracts are limited to 200 items each). Two contracts for 100M ISK, and the third contract for 50M ISK. (250M ISK total.)
The contract will be based out of Jita.
(If you wish me to place the contract in any other location, that can be arranged for an added fee. An extra 25M to 50M ISK depending on the location.)

It's certainly an interesting idea to sell the bookmarks. I have to be honest and say that personally if I were looking stainwards I probably wouldn't take up the offer - even despite it being reasonably priced. But that is because for me creating the bookmarks isn't just a static thing I "must do" but rather a part of the learning process when moving to a new area. Those few days darting around systems are the first steps in the process of getting to know about the local players, alliances, market economies, trade routes, bottlenecks etc. Without that experience I'd have a folder full of bookmarks but no strategic understanding of the local area.
ReplyDeletePut those BM's in small containers to fit them inside 1 contract.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I still have two sets, and they're sitting inside shuttles.
