EVE-Online: The Covetor BPO, Part 2
So, if you read this, you may want to know what eventually happened.
I happened across someone selling a fully researched Covetor BPO in high-sec, for 2.35 billion ISK. That means I pay them 350 million for researching it (which takes a month), and delivering it to high-sec for me.
Before accepting the contract, I had to be very careful to make sure the item I would get was what I thought it would be. There are a lot of contract-scammers who do things like post a Tech 1 variant of a ship (worth 900 million), but they put the Tech 2 variant (worth 4 billion) in the name of the contract. If you're not very careful, you get ripped-off. Over time, CCP (EVE's developer) has made the contracts clearer about what's in them, but apparently many people are still fooled.
I wasn't fooled. We got the BPO, and it's now happily turning out BPCs so BM2 can start to make and sell Hulks.

Ah, another of EVE's amazingly exciting features. The careful reading of contract fineprint. Well I never.
