So you only play SC? How about some free gold?

Then your 10x hardcore auction slot which is rotting in the corner is worth money to me, and I'd like to contract you as a commission agent.

If interested PM me here or in game at finalgenesis#3946 with any questions.

Relevant figures:

1) A choice between a generous 50/50 or 40/60 split. Eg. an item sold at 100k, after AH fee = 85k, you keep 42.5k which is 50% of the profit, or 34k if you choose the 40/60. The responsibilities are different between the 2 sturcture and I currently have 4 agents, 2 of them 40/60 and 2 are 50/50. For details and differences refer to: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MXZ6_Hug8UXdr2SvLIlMB0RLyx4pVNhq4IevveZhVf8/edit

2) You can swap HC to SC gold using that "other" forum. I can also provide HC > SC money changing service for you, current rate is 1 HcG : 2.5 ScG, subject to change at all times based on market changes, you can always keep the HC gold to use if you play HC or convert to ScG yourself (you can likely get better rate, just take time and hassle :crazyeyes:). An example: From the 50 split you've saved up 1m HcG, with which you can conver to 2.5m ScG from me (subject to current rate).

3) Items to be sold are Hardcore inferno farmed stuff that can sell for 25-200k gold. If you choose 50/50 you have even more control, the record is 400k on a single item so far.

4) You owe me nothing until you sell an item, and you can always return an unsold item during our weekly gold clearing/restock game. The arrangement is consignment based.

Agent requirements:

1) Experience with googledoc or at least excel, or willing to learn/use and especially to update it periodically. This will serve as the "whiteboard" and the main communication point for us. I will walk you through this doc before we start the arrangement.

2) Experience with taking screenshot and uploading to image hosting. I myself find imgur.com to be the best and easiest to work with, it's as user friendly as it can possibly get. You will need to take 1-2 screenshots every week (either Fri or Sat would be perfect, preferably before gold clearing/restocking) of your auction log which will show the details on all items sold during the week and add the upload link to the googledoc. You only need to do this once a week before clearing.

3) Deposit, since I will be giving a batch of HC items to you and be trusting you on various point. You need a solid and verifiable history on this site, or any solid supporting you can provide to me, plus a 2M SC gold deposit. If you lack history, I can hold a deposit of 3M SC gold instead of 2, refundable on request at any time after you return my items to me. For my reputation you can check my history on this site (and the trader's comment section), I also have history over at that other forum, pm me and I can link you to it. This point is non-negotiable.

4) Enjoy messing around with trade schemes (which this is) is a bonus plus.

Others:

1) I will provide you with a Start bid & buyout price on the first batch of items, after that it depends on the fee sturcture you picked (read that google link up top. you are free to adjust my suggested price higher but not lower (just update to the googledoc and add a comment for me to notice),

2) If you wish to keep an item yourself for hardcore use, no problem, just pay me half the suggested buyout price I set. This is a great deal if you also play hardcore but couldn't farm high end gear consistently. Though if you plan to transition to HC please let me know, as eventually you'll move on when your own farmed items bring more profit, and I'll need to set up an extra agent in advance to keep up.

3) Gold clearing and restocking occurs weekly (unless one of us have a vacation or weekend project) during weekends. This is when you pay me what you owe me / I restock you back up to 50 items / Exchange your HC gold to SC gold should you wish ...etc.

I keep around 10 mill in SC gold around at all times, so no worries about not being able to exchange your HC gold to SC gold easily.

I currently have an impeccably solid fellow who just started yesterday, and I plan to contract a 2nd fine chap at this time for the pilot project phase. If it becomes a success I may expand on the idea and seek more agents at that time.

With that said, wuteva looks to be the shoe-in for the 2nd slot :yes: Contacted.

Also I work weekdays and at strange times at that, so the likeliest time for me to set things up with anyone would be during weekends.

Some changes and streamlining Edited to OP thread:

Nice idea. If only someone on Europe would do the same :)

Hey,

This is my first post here, but I'm interested.
My one and only Hardcore guy just died yesterday and I had a blast, still, I don't use the AH which seems to be what you're looking for, right? If so, how can I fulfill #3? I registered in the forums only a few days ago, but I read diablo.incgamers daily.

And... Unfortunately I don't have 2m. :(

I'm full at the moment and have 3 solid players doing the arrangement, I'll probably keep it this way for awhile and see how things are this weekend.

3 days in and we're right on the cusp of the 2M Hcg sales mark!

Amended some stuff in OP and fleshed out things more. Particularly on fee structure under relevant figures 1), there are now 2 different fee structure:

A) Agent - 50/50 split
B) Consignment - 60/40 split

details in OP

I may seek an additional agent this weekend for a total of 4, PM me (intelligent PMs that shows you've read and understood gets bonus point) if you think you're a fit for this program!

Edit: all 4 spots filled!

Edit:

HC > SC gold rate change, better rate now (Again, you can still get better rate cruising trade forum given time and getting a honest trader)

what if you provide us with the item and we post it on forums to sell. still at the set price at what you tell us to set it at? or is this strictly ah sale items only?
sometimes the forums are easier to sell on. i do both and also have hc ah slots all freed up.

I've thought about forum sales, and I don't strictly restrict players on their prefer method of selling, though I'd also need to really trust a player to let him do forum sales (more avenue of abuse via multi, frd alt ...etc)

I use to keep a 50-300k piece thread going on that other site, but it just took too much time to maintain even though sales is brisk (I'd rather use that time to farm). And I find the 500k - 1M+ pieces better in AH around 90% of the time, obviously a 50% commission on these pieces are way way out of the question, and I generally find few enough that my AH slots can keep up... barely.

But basically yes I've considered a few things, but figure I'll start with the most basic and get it streamlined first.

aj,
I am a long trusted member of these forums and am considering participating. Just ask our moderator spiffymcbang if you need a character witness. I'm not sure which role would be best suited for me but am certainly open for discussion. I'll private my battlenet tag to you but please keep in mind that I am not home most weekends as I am an avid camper in the on-season. If you are not in a rush, please message me Monday evening and we can talk.
Regards
safetypro

Announcing 1 new spot! I can safely add one more agent to the line-up.

If you're interested be sure you've read and understood the OP and pm me with the relevant info.

Currently I'm working with 4 players, some interesting figures taken from the past 3 weeks of operation:

Record gross sales in a single day (single agent) - 1.02 mil HC gold
Record sales in a week (single agent) - 2.65 mil HC gold, 50% split comes to 1.32 mil HCG, converted into 3.31 mil SC gold
Lowest sales in a week (single agent) - 1.19 mil HC gold

It's pretty volatile and luck of the draw from my observation.
