I bought 3 traders last year. All of them came with intact API data but no current open orders.

Most interesting was when I loaded my new guys into EMMA, she could identify most of the previous market orders! Free market research!

I'm not sure how to purge orders from the API.

Delete all agents is wrong, simply because it helps the new owner to know what agents you used.

Moved to Market Discussion.

May I recommend looking into adding this to the EVElopedia as a suggestion for Character transfer? Some people won't think about all of these issues before selling or buying and may regret it later.


I was going to report this for being in the wrong forum. Should clearly be in Character Bazzar... Obviously, I'm wrong. Rolling Eyes

This topic is for people who are selling characters.
It is meant to be more customer friendly, and it's not in the rules.

Before selling your character or characters please do this:

- Remove all your evemails
- Remove all your bio's
- Remove all your Buddies
- Remove all your Agent's
- Delete all your bookmarks
- Delete all your Medals
- Delete Notes in the Notepad
- Reset all standings (Likes & Dislikes)
- Take down your contracts
- Take down your Market Sell Orders
- Take down your Market Buy Orders
- Cancel all your Manufacturing jobs
- Cancel all your Research jobs
- If possible, Destroy JumpClones
- Trash Ibis's, Impairor's, 1 Tritanium's, Civilian stuff

*That takes me way too much time, it is trash anyway.*
Often in Evemails and Notes you have personal stuff written. Like, 'sorry to hear your grandpa died'. Or, 'Jim cheated on his wife with Janet!'.
The new owners are not interested in that. Unless they're sociopath's and harass the people who cheat in relationships.

*The new owner can do all that*
Thank you for the Free ISK via the Contracts and Market orders, you just sold a 80 mil Raven in Jita!

*The bookmarks don't go anywhere anyways*
Thank you for the anchored Giant Container in Motsu. Oh, what is the password? Never mind, I see it in Notes. Thanks for the Faction Ammunition!

*Those standings shouldn't be such a problem*

Dude! You destroyed my Tengu, I'm blue to you!
Tengu, you were red on my overview! Oh, this new bought character doesn't like your corporation...

And so on and on...

Why would you remove all your agents and bookmarks? Removing agents devalues the character, and removing safespots also devalues the character. Removing medals also arguably devalues the character. Removing jump clones also makes the character less valuable.

I wouldn't want anyone knowing what systems I use, where the SS are, POS locations, staging areas, ect..

Thats valuable intel the enemy can and will use against you.

Again, would you want to give an enemy access to a station in 0.0 where they wouldn't normally be able to dock at?

You know, it's too bad someone hasn't thought of bringing this up as an automatic feature of a character transfer...

Oh wait, I did.

Too bad it was shot down by our loveable CSM's. (How do you get 2 CSM's to support it on the forums, but only one CSM to vote for it at vote time?)
