The TT Project
What is it?
Everyday thousands of items are sold to the trade terminals even though they have held a markup value, which means tons of potential PED are flushed into them as well. This is money that one way or another could have been used in the player economy and that puts a terrible strain on players’ PED Cards and is a major money sink that nearly goes un-noticed unlike others such as decay and fees. However, this is one that can be avoided.
What I propose:
“Don’t TT, sell to me.”
Selling these items to me at the TT value allows the potentially lost PED to remain in the game and in the players’ hands. You’re probably wondering about my plans with these items, well, I would act as a temp storage.
My plan is to save up bulk items until they are in large enough quantity to sell to buyers, who would use them for crafting or whatever purpose, at a bit below average markup because I might as well give some deals while I’m at it since it would have been lost anyway.
What items do you buy?
Anything you want to sell at TT value, provided I have the funds to acquire it at that price. I’m not asking for things like Ore/Enmatter or something of major trade, just the random things you get that you’d normally just chuck in the Trade Terminal.
What about the profit?
Profits would be broken down into two parts, probably something like 80/20 or 85/15, still undecided at the moment and I want to wait to see what it generates.
The larger percent would be used for community events and depending on how much business this project actually gets, I’m hoping for four quarterly tournaments with cheap buy-in’s and over the top prizes or I’ll just save until that goal is possible, mabye semi-annual events. I’m sure I can come up with a number of other uses including sponsorship for other events. I’d also be open to suggestion.
The smaller percent would taken by EnCompany, which would be used to buy more goods and improve the business. Since I own EnCompany and get to use what it buys, there is no reason for me to take a direct percent. It all gets recycled.
Philosophy:
It’s the customers that drive the business so I want to give back as much as possible.

Tell me what you guys think. I believe it could do the economy and players a world of good.
