Quote: It does seem like people don't understand the time investment involved in these high-end BPs. I don't know the corp mate's skills at the time the research was done, but I know it took 6-8 months to get the Nyx BPO to ME2.
Prices for everything, from BPs to completed ships, seem to be dropping lower every day. A ME2 Nyx BPC used to be worth a few billion ISK.
It's not that people don't know, it's simple math :) A ME 1 BPC gets sold for 500 mil The ISK you save by getting an ME 2 BPC instead of a ME 1 is 200 mil Thus people will not pay more then 700 mil for the ME 2 one, no matter if it took you a year to research it. People will buy it at 1.5 bil when a ME1 is sold at 1.3 :)

Well, what you're saying is logical enough, but my point was that prices have dropped (on everything) regardless of the investment involved. The BPOs cost the same on the open market and take the same amount of time to research now as they did any time in the past, but their products are worth substantially less (again, with the ME2 Nyx BPC going for under 1B when it used to go for a few billion.) The research on the Nyx BPO took, say, 7 months; keep in mind the game is only 5.5 or so years old, and the research was completed further in the past, so 7 months is a long time in terms of the entire existence of the EVE universe. --- *BPCs for sale; see character's bio in-game for details.

I understand what you are saying, As an owner of 3 cap ship BPO's as well as a few cap component BPO's I hear you., However something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. A babe Ruth Baseball card is worth nothing to me cause I don't give a shit about baseball, however some rich guy paid 2 million for a tobacco rookie of him from like 1919 or something.
You have been trying to sell this print for weeks. It is worth 700 million to me expecially now that MS are selling/trying to be sold at an ever increasing rate. If fact there is a lot of debate relating to how useless the ship has become. Since they took away mineral compression and the ability to store anything inside a hauler it has even lost it's logistics ability. I too remember when the MS was selling for 25-30 billion but now if you get lucky you can buy them for as little as 13 billion built.
You can hold on to this bpc for a few more weeks to get a hundred or 2 million more isk or you can have the isk I am offering now and use it to finance another project. Of course thats up to you.

Fair enough. From what I understood, my corp mate was going to accept your offer. I will contact him again and see if we can complete the transaction. --- *BPCs for sale; see character's bio in-game for details. EVEMail if interested. **Nyx Outpost Platforms |

BPC, you mean. Although, while you mention it, the BPO may potentially be available for sale, but I'll get to that in a moment.
In the meantime, thank you for your business and for dealing with my obnoxious sales thread.
Now, most of our high-value BPCs have been sold. We still have the Fighter BPCs available, a bunch of lesser BPCs, and those outpost platforms, but nobody seems to be interested in the outposts. We're interested in parting with not only the BPCs, but the BPOs as well.
We're going to keep the Thanatos BPO, and of course all of our BS BPOs.
The Nyx BPO is another story. It's not exactly easy for someone to build a mothership, and selling the BPC was time-consuming and not as profitable as it used to be. There are still parties building motherships and selling them outright, but at the moment the corp member who is the actual owner of all the prints has expressed a desire to sell the Nyx BPO. Now if someone's interested in it then feel free to drop us an offer, but does anyone think we should just continue to run off copies and sell those? We don't have any real attachment to a Nyx BPO, but if people are interested in only buying the BPCs we could facilitate that in the future.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome, as always. --- *BPCs for sale; see character's bio in-game for details. EVEMail if interested. **Nyx Outpost Platforms |
