Ok at first I was going to shut up but after selling my fifth Pandemonium BCS for the stupid price of 30mil I have to ask you people why the hell you are buying these things. Let's take a look:
'Pandemonium' I Ballistic Enhancement Rate of Fire bonus: 10.5% Missile Damage bonus: 9.8% CPU use: 42 PG use: 1 Avg Market Price 'Forge' Region: 29m
Ballistic Control System II Rate of Fire bonus: 10.5% Missile Damage bonus: 10% CPU use: 40 PG use: 1 Avg Market Price 'Forge' Region: 6.7m
Both mods are active on the market and plenty are sold each day.
People are paying three times the price of a BCS II to get a mod which in absolutely no aspect is better than the BCS II.
In fact, it's worse! WHY?!

For a serious answer, check their skill requirements and you will understand.

It is the same with basic named modules. They are worse than their tech one counterparts yet go for a much higher price on the market.
People just equate best named with being the same as the tech two version but easier to fit. ___________________

I think I will! I've been breaking my head over this for weeks. Every single time I throw another Pandemonium on the market and it sells within an hour I cry inside.

Hello. Most best named modules have a clear advantage like 20% less CPU use. Pandemonium BCS is one of the few best named mods that actually has increased CPU use over its T2 counterpart. And even then its stats aren't up par to its T2 variant. It's insanity

WE DIDN'T LISTEN!!!! LOCKDOWN!!! STAN GET IN THE CAR!!
*sigh* Best video ever
Well an average price of 6.7m per BCU II vs like 2m per gun dmg mods is stupidly high too... Thank god I just use 8 stabs instead, it's much cheaper. --------------------------------------

Thanks mate I appreciate it.
But seriously I don't get this. I can handle a lot. I can sit in empire, scan passing ships and laugh at people's crappy setups. I can go in low sec, kill a Vexor and find out he had lasers, shield tank and gyro stabs fitted. I can handle that. I can understand why someone might shell halve a bil for an officer mod even though it's really only marginally improved.. some people have that money and tricking out your faction battleship to the max can be fun.
But this.. this is just stupid. This is like being an used cars salesmen and you're just repeatedly selling 3rd hand cars for more than their new price. And you watch people enter and leave your store all happy with their new car, thanking you in blissful ignorance.
And it just keeps on going.
And it has to stop.
From now on every single time someone buys this mod off me I will personally convo him and just ask: WHY?! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?

I hope its because they dont want to skill for the tech 2 version. Everything else is too scary to think about. --- The Eve Wiki Project |

24 million isk extra for a skill that you can have trained in two days. A skill you want at IV anyway since it helps a lot with fitting. My god.

LOL. And you all can wonder why T2s are so expensive. Maybe try selling at 40M, you can make more profit that way. ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT! Corporate Consultation Services |

I know it's just stupid. It's like..
Imagine this beautiful park at a spring day. People letting out their dogs, young couples making out in the grass, some guy running across the field yelling 'HEY THATS MY BIKE', just an average city day. Now in the middle of that. There's a lovely free water sprinkler you can drink from. Hell, for all intents and purposes they've even added a cup dispenser so you can get a cup of water and drink from the cup. And there I stand. Next to it. Selling cupped water for a dollar a cup. And all I do is just take a cup from the public cup dispenser, filling it with water from the free public water sprinkler, and selling it to a long LONG row of needy people. People thanking me saying how I work hard to provide this service and that I make the community better. Babies smiling at me and majors giving me medals. MAKE IT STOP

Why?
Historical inertia. No named BCS for quite some time, then no T2 BCS. They HAVE fallen considerably, and will likely continue to slowly fall.
