Requirements
- Clients shall have the ability to request broker contracts for the purchase, sale, or transport of items at any time using the same information available using the in-station contract system
- Items shall be secured such that only broker staff and the intended user have access to them
- Funds shall be transferred prior to the acceptance of a brokered buy contract with a specially formatted note to link with the request
Use Cases
- Client requests to sell an item or items for market price ("loot conversion")
- Client requests to purchase an item or items for the market rate plus the negotiated fee
- Client requests hauling of an item or items (can use a 0 isk contract to accomplish this)
Considerations, Risks, and Thoughts
- The the number of GSCs that a staff broker can anchor will limit the number of simultaneous in-flight transactions. This means that there must be a limit on the amount of time that a client can claim an item from a can
- Passwords for cans will have to be shared among all staff brokers
- Passwords for cans will have to be shared with each client for the duration of an exchange transaction
- Broker staff can use spreadsheets to track requests; however, WHC can make requests via mail
- Clients can probably use well-known EVE market sites plus a fixed percentage to provide escrow ISK for goods. One issue will be the risk involved in seeking the low price vs the inconvenience of the current HS static
- Broker staff should have a fair amount of trade skills (Accounting, Broker Relations, standing increasing skills, etc)
