hell a can of what i assume is soda costs about 45-50 isk. The quafe you buy as a trade good is .1 m^3 in volume. That's 100 liters of soda. If we assume (bad assumption, but bear with me) that soda costs the same relative to everything else in EVE as it does in real life, we can assume that our 50 ISK of Quafe is roughly equivalent to, let's say, 50$.
So a shuttle costs the same as a cheap car.
If we assume our pilots are buying in bulk (I don't know about you, but I don't go down to the store for 100 liters of coke), we can assume that the value of the Quafe is, say, $20. That makes our shuttle $4000.
Alternatively, let's say that the value of soda has gone up relative to everything else. Let's say that, because Quafe is so addictive (it's got what plants crave, after all) that they can sell it for the equivalent of $2/liter. Now our shuttle is suddenly worth $40,000. |

spaceships, start at ~10,000 , pants like ~500,000,000 replacement eye, ~1,250,000,000
In the future, why can't we replicate organic, normal eyes? If we can make clones? Why can't we have some simple class and dignity consisting of a single piece of glass on a gold chain which we can tuck into out breast pocket? |

Actually if you work it out, the density of Quafe is 5000 kg/m^3. That of water is 1000 kg/m^3. Quafe is probably concentrate, so it costs more than mere Coke. |

ISK is a capsuleer currency. A small amount of ISK is worth more money than most regular people would see in their life. Just because capsuleers don't want to have to type in 90,000,000,000,000 every time they buy a frigate. Ferox #1 |

well everyone says 1 isk is a fortune to the lesser forms of life we endlessly trade, smite, and cart around in our cargo holds apparently the joy of ownership of a liter of quafe and a unit of frozen food would set them back about 16 years pay so I'm still a bit unsure just what the regular joes of New Eden eat, because it aint quafe, frozen food, or genetically engineered beef
unless.....
OMG!!!!!
SOYLENT GREEN IS FROZEN CORPSES!!! The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

No we are sponsored by a corp, they pay for our cloning and capsuleer implants at least that is how I understood it.
/edit
Q. How much does the Space Shuttle cost? A. The Space Shuttle Endeavour, the orbiter built to replace the Space Shuttle Challenger, cost approximately $1.7 billion.

Like Kietay said, there are different currencies. I haven't read much of the fiction on the matter, but I imagine there are thousands or millions of 'currencies' on any of the given planets in all the hundreds of systems. Not all the denizens of the EVEverse are capsuleers. In fact, it's kinda rare even though there are thousands of us. All these planets and moons we fly by, are populated. You can see lit-up cities on the Temperates.
Only the big Empire factions or super-corporations hire capsuleers, and they can deal in ISK. It's basically a universe run on as a corporatocracy. The haves and the have-nots, it's like a nightmare world, tbh. |

1 PLEX = $19.95 1 PLEX = 3500 AU 1 PLEX = 450,000,000
1 AU = $0.0057 1 AU = 128,500 ISK
1 Monocle = 12,000 AU 1 Monocle = $68.50 1 Monocle = 1,530,000,000 ISK
1 Monocle = 153,000 One Hundred & Fifty Three Thousand Shuttles

With the billion of isk you can have in the wallet or assets, pretty sure we are the .5% or maybe even the .01%. |

Shuttles bought where, though? I occasionally pick up a bundle cheap/make them in highsec, and haul them down to a known pvp area in lowsec and sell them in bulk at a hefty markup. Shuttles: Extra armour and speed for your pod! |

If you consider how many people could actually be living in the whole of new eden and how many pod pilots they are I'd imagine there would be many many more noughts between the 0. and the 1
