Due to the changes CCP did to Industry there's basically not much profit in doing production in this game.
I've spent the past month clearing out loot stashed in well over 300 stations in 21 regions that was gained from doing years of exploration and missions. After comparing sell price to reprocess price and going with the highest one, I thought I had amassed a sizable amount of Minerals to build a Bowhead Transport ship. After researching I realized I only had 1/5th of the Minerals required to build the Materials needed to build the Bowhead.
Since I had already purchased a Bowhead BPC package, I definitely wasn't going to spend the rest of the year mining Ore just to build the ship. I ended up buying the rest of the Minerals from the Market. After adding in the cost of production and the BPC package, the total amount I spent comes to 1.1 bill ISK.
The average Market price for the Bowhead is 1.5 bill ISK. Definitely not much profit to be made there and I didn't even include the time I spent doing it..
So yeah, I agree with the OP, the amount of Minerals required to build the Materials is too much. Also the amount of Materials required to build the hull is too much.
Seriously, I know this game is a time sink but this is just ridiculous.
DMC That's a lot of time for a 400m profit... shoulda just went ratting lol!
You have to say that anyone who mines in this game is a goddam hero...

Now, the fact that the sell prices of T2 barges aren't far off from their production cost simply means that this particular market is overcrowded. More barges are being produed and sold than there are barges getting blown up, supply is higher than demand. For the manufacturer it leads to the necessity to switch to a different item to produce or to move to a different location to sell what he's got. Or the supply is higher than the demand because nobody wants to pay the bare minimum price for one. That one is tougher to put in numbers but not impossible.
I always assumed that members of the Goons had the T2 BPO's for the Hulk and Mackinaw but not the Skiff
