My opinion- buy them from a service in 100-500 increments!!! It’s simple and easy- but is pricey!

just pay them as soon as you see the events.
it takes some of your time but it's not a huge effort.
also you should write how much you pay for each loss ;-)

About 1-2 years ago I was paying 45m per 100 losses. It was so quick and painless…. Search forums and paying individuals personally for 330k-350k each… not worth it. Yeah you might save 10m per 100… but you have to do all the work. With the services you sit in torn and watch the event and defends(and finishing hits per weapon) roll in IMO

I do find it amusing that the players with the highest networth are so often the ones who seem stingiest when it comes to paying lower-level players. You want 7000 losses. That would be 2.45b, at your desired price.

Buying them at 450k (actually it'd be 410k through Nebula, because we do offer bulk purchase discounts) would bring it to 2.87b. (3.15b if there was no discount.)

So that is a difference of 420m (or 700m without discount.) With your networth of 63b (rounding down) that is .06% (Or 0.11% without a discount) of your NW in price difference.

Most people that I've spoken to who buy losses individually tend to peak at maybe 500 or so a day? Which means it'd take you about two weeks. And I'd assume you'd have to spend... At least 30-60 minutes each of those days to pay people, find more people, and deal with DMs and such. How highly do you value your time?

We'd have it done in probably about 4-6 days, depending on the rate of other business. During which time, you'd get to kick back and forget about it entirely. Remove that load from your mental plate.

But hey, you do what you want to do. With those prices Nebula charges, the overwhelming majority of the money goes to the players, and often helps them get started in the game in a way that lets them remain engaged and interested in continuing to play. The service we offer is one of convenience, not one of necessity.

People don’t build wealth by pissing it away.


Stingy when paying lower level players? I’ve made several newbies to torn very wealthy, without having them sell losses. My generosity is more than fair, I just believe in value for money. A level 5 selling a loss isn’t worth 450-550k to me.


You’re basing off my NW % and not by the market difference %. You’re charging 30-120% finders fee, thats like me bulk buying cans at 2M on the market and charging 2.6-4.4M per can, for the sake of convenience.


I’m in no rush, and I’m playing torn, it’s a pass time, I can spend 5 seconds paying people here and there. Especially when it saves me 30-120%.


With the current stock market, 1% a week profit is nice and healthy, the difference you’re asking for is 30 to 120 weeks worth of trading of the capital spent.

i know it isn’t a necessity, that’s why I politely declined. Sorry mate but your lecture is a load of bollocks.

Your company pays us 450k to sell losses? if you do that's a really good amount and I want in
but if you take 450k and pay 350k or less to us then why are you saying you help us because I already sell at that price and that only helps you with 100k you get for free per our loss we do here!!!
GenShinigami [2664617] Reporter
We pay 350k for standard contracts, and we pay 425k for premium contracts. We also have a proprietary method that lets people sell Escapes through us for 550k, without needing the book or to be in a Car Dealership. (Literally with our method, I could have a Day 0 player successfully perform losses EDIT: Escapes for BodyBagger.)

The largest benefits that we provide to people who sell through us is they know they won't get scammed or short-paid by someone. And that they can sell as many or as few losses as they want, when they want to. While we don't have a 100% uptime for contracts, we do work very hard to make sure there is constantly business available for people. No scraping through the forums trying to find someone to sell to. You know what you're getting when you walk in.

We also run monthly contests and events, which do have some prices involved, usually things like Donator Packs and such. Overall I like to think our community is pretty healthy, and does a good job developing new players towards their goals through answering questions, and developing connections. While it's not necessarily a "perk" of working for us, I do tend to get a bit protective of our members if they appear to be getting harassed, and have stepped in on such situations a number of times to mediate, deescalate, or interject on their behalf.


But by all means, if you're having success selling them your way, that's fine. I have no particular issue with anyone who chooses to do so. I just find it irksome when people are offering less than 350k to people because they for whatever reason think that someone's level makes their Energy worth less. Saying that because you're level 5, your losses aren't worth as much as someone who is level 50 or 100, when they all provide the same statistics... I tend to find it very incongruous.

Loss sellers go to nebula you get payed at least double what this bozo is offering

The down vote is OP assmad that I called him out for trying to charge poverty rates for losses btw, lmao
