Do you hear the sound of a bubble bursting?
Someone posted a rumor to Reddit that Geckos are dropping in new lowsec sites on SiSi now.
I have no idea of the veracity of this story (it's probably true) but holy crap the price is in freefall. I'd exited this market a long time ago so I'm just grabbing marshmallows amd watching the world burn right now.
If you lose billions in this crash, please feel free to post tears here.

Their price has been in freefall for 6 months, they peaked at 130 mil.

The rumor is most likely true, there are many screenshot on reddit confirming it, so unless it a bug, sell sell sell

Looks like a well planned gecko manipulation to coincide with some new sites, cropped screenshots showing a cargo container with 1 gecko in it and some hype on reddit. Add in someone doing their best to manipulate the price of geckos down with large amounts of sell orders of 10 and 20 geckos in a staggered price range.

Lots of confirmation from different source, if it's a manipulation then it's extremely well played |

The original source on Reddit was Makoto Priano who has a reputation to uphold as an unbiased explorer and breaker of news. The only realistic possibility that I see of this being wrong is that SiSi's loot table just wasn't reflective yet of what will be pushed to Tranquility.
In either case, I've liquidated the rest of my Gecko stock and am leaving this godforsaken market. That item has consistently lost me money due to the worst possible timing on getting in and out. May it burn in hell.

One of the most fun moments I had was in Apanake local when I announcedthat I was giving away free Geckos, and then proceeded to kill them one by one in front of the locals. Good times
Got a HoleySheet1 corpse? I'll buy it for 200m!

Glad I got out of the Gecko game a long time ago, nothing but trouble those things.
Ever since they were first given away, players have been crying out for a reliable source for them because they're just so damn useful. As a result, I've always considered Geckos to be the riskiest of all limited edition assets to invest in.

I'm curious as to why geckos are still in the high 40s for something that supposively has a never ending source now. |

I expect it's a limited duration event like The Crimson Harvest last October, or Operation Frostline in December, also the Geckos aren't dropping in high sec. Quafe Zero will hurt more if it becomes a staple event reward . Blood Raider Halloween, Serpentis Christmas and Guristas Easter.

Thanks, but I've been out of this market a looooong, loooooong time and was never heavily into it.
I'm too sensitive to risk to buy into a market that CCP could (and apparently have) crashed on a whim. Bubble economies based upon unpredictable supply constraints are not my thing to get into.
Bought in in a small way at 13-17m, sold out at 30-35m, no regrets.

Well, Gila blueprints have a never ending source right now and they are more than 45m too.
The decisive factor will be how much player effort goes into farming Gackos.

Even if the Gecko are seeded there is a good chance they will be over that price, imo |

I ran some Gurista Research Facilites on SiSi and yes, they can drop Geckos. I ran 7-8 sites and got 4 of them.

I doubt CCP will remove them from the loot table on TQ, but you can never know for sure.

If CCP follows the pattern here and starts similar angel and sansha events in the future, there will be enough supply of Quafe Zero for years. If you still have some of them in stock, i would sell right now.

Carrier mechanic change is also another, but minor reason for the Gecko crash.
I'm happy about the drop because I like using Geckos in PvP, and paying 75 mil+ for a little drone seemed overpriced.
I am pretty sure at some point in the future, the same thing is going to happen with CA-1, CA-2, CA-3, and CA-4 implants.
