Market Research

I'm not a fighter in Eve, but doing NPC battle missions brings easy and fast money. So, it is a good way to build some starting capital for my future full-blown production and research.

According to my experience, I've found that ammo is constantly needed for players who run these missions. So, I've narrowed down first few choices that I will take a stab at. I will produce 3 types of ammo, and sell at the station that contain battle mission agents. I also noticed that those stations don't sell the ammo locally. And players have to fly elsewhere to buy more ammo.

This is a chance to make money on. However, I need to know what players need. What ammo do they use? In order to answer this, I have started a program: I will pay 50k isk to any player who will give me answers to what ammo they use. This way I plan to acquire market data that will allow me to make good choice of ammo to build and sell.

I would have liked to pay 50k remotely without having to actually be online and talk to players. For example, they could leave a note in my container with their name on there. Once I verify that the information they left is what I asked I would have transfered 50k isk to them.

This would require less work for my future clients and me. However, I have not found a way to achieve this yet.
