Iridescent Moon Caldari Iridescent Dawn	Posted - 2009.03.10 19:19:00 - [1] Core Launchers were bought out in every region I have seen. Relisted at 25 million to start. Down to 5-9 million so far. Who was the meanie!!!
Chssmius Capital Support House of Mercury	Posted - 2009.03.10 19:35:00 - [2] An enterprising individual, counting on a market blitz to make a quick profit. You aren't likely to find them responding to your thread, as they likely want to not be known, and they probably don't read MD anyway. I have tried a couple of different times with little success to find market manipulators. Take The EvE Personality Test today!
NeoTech Minmatar	Posted - 2009.03.10 19:37:00 - [3] Edited by: NeoTech on 10/03/2009 19:38:27 hehe, the probe launchers were the first thing i ever produced in eve in my 3-4 years playing. Hilarious to make probe launchers that cost 150.000 for 20 and sell them for a 100mil, wish i could manufacture more when the price was at 20-10mil... (only 6 of the launchers got sold when the price was at 10m, rest is 3.5 which the market is at atm) ownt anyway.
Kazzac Elentria	Posted - 2009.03.10 19:38:00 - [4] Most of us have an army of market alts, so pinning any one order to any one person is usually pretty hard.
Iridescent Moon Caldari Iridescent Dawn	Posted - 2009.03.10 20:57:00 - [5] Less about who is doing it then getting other people to come in and crash the market. already had a report of launchers going for 8 million dropping to 3 million in about 10 minutes.
Roarke Grasby Gallente Blacksteel Mining and Manufacturing	Posted - 2009.03.10 21:25:00 - [6] I did a little earlier, I also had some probes put on the market. Made a good bit of isk for a little bit of work, heh. I feel kinda bad gouging prices as much as I did though.
Clair Bear Perkone	Posted - 2009.03.10 21:34:00 - [7] Speaking of market alt armies, I had to use a bunch of mine with 0 ranks in PE to cash in on this craze. I'm shocked the manipulation is standing -- costs about 50k to build a launcher with PE 0 and an unresearched BPO and it takes 8 minutes to do it. I've produced over 200 so far. Simply amazing.
Zora Gallente Concealed Intentions	Posted - 2009.03.10 23:56:00 - [8] Well I had some really weird stuff happening. All the Scan Probe Launcheres I bought before the expansion were converted to Expanded Probe Launchers - I thought they should be Core Launchers now? Anyway they are cheap to produce... Also all my buy orders on the launchers got magically filled and never even went to corp hangar. they appeared right in my hangar.. hmm... let's see how this will play out
rubico1337	Posted - 2009.03.11 01:11:00 - [9] must.... produce... faster...
Galactic Tycoon	Posted - 2009.03.11 02:05:00 - [10] I'm the guilty party I'm afraid. I was one of the first to get into Jita when the server came back up. I produced the first Core Probe Launcher shortly after and put it on the market at 49,999,999ISK. It sold in about 10 seconds. I then proceeded to **** all the BPOs in Jita meaning you had to (at one point) travel 14 jumps to get a BPO and compete with me. by the time the next two market orders appeared I had made 340M ISK, then many, many more BPOs became available in jita and I was competing with several more orders. Reports of the price dropping from 20M to 3M are 100% false. The first sale was 45M, dropping to something like 25M, then 17ish then levelling off at about 10-12 for an hour or so. Then the price starting jumping between 3-5M until Jita died. By this time I was well on the way to making 1 Billion ISK....fun times. Sorry if you got trumped by my bastardising tactics but it's business after all. It seems prices were at 3M at Jita's death so you could make some money tomorrow but now more people have downloaded the huge 1GB file.....everyone is mass producing right now thinking they're going to be the only ones making zillions tomorrow. Competition tomorrow will be much, much worse. Opens Champagne
Clair Bear Perkone	Posted - 2009.03.11 02:15:00 - [11] Thank you, it was a very perceptive move. All the producers set multi-day queues so weren't able to jump out and churn product in time. As I said I had to use my untrained trade and cyno alts to produce launchers as quickly as possible. I'd produce 3-5 at a time every 8 minutes and put them on the market. They'd be snapped up instantly at prices between 1.5 and 3M even away from Jita 4-4. Covops, like inties, warp at 13.5 au/sec. So distributing hundreds of BPOs didn't take me that long. Not sure what the totals were, but well below your well-timed manipulation. I'm guessing around 300 launchers produced during the chaos time. Still making some and moving them at a million + each, with a cost of 50 k for 10. I'm hoping tens of millions of units hit jita tomorrow. It's a good time to be a reprocessor.

Opens Champagne well played, good sir :) I was stuck at work, else I would probably have at least 500mill more by now... was starting production way too late in the game.
FreddyMac	Posted - 2009.03.11 02:20:00 - [13] Market Pvp at its finest. My hats off to you :)

Opens Champagne well played, good sir :) I was stuck at work, else I would probably have at least 500mill more by now... was starting production way too late in the game. Thanks. For what it's worth I maintained my stance on keeping the price as high as possibly for as long as possible, for all the other traders. It was a really exciting few hours and a lot of the competition made poor decisions regarding production. When there's serious isk to make you only have a limited profit window. People were buying 1 BPO and producing 5-10 off that which would take 8 minutes x 5-10 The correct decision was (imo) to buy 8-10 bpos at 45k each and utilise all build slots. Build one launcher per probe ment you'd get 8 launchers in 8 minutes and milk the peak insane profits. (20M ish). Though I realise not everyone has 8+ production slots. It was really funny to announce in local I listed some core probes. People were like WTF 45M!
Ahro Thariori	Posted - 2009.03.11 02:33:00 - [15] tis was fun
Iridescent Moon Caldari Iridescent Dawn	Posted - 2009.03.11 03:27:00 - [16] Thanks for the info. Was fun to read. One thing though. there are more markets then just Jita. I was watching the same thing happen across Gallente space. I had to log but we will see how my small part in the core probes went in a few hours.
Zora Gallente Concealed Intentions	Posted - 2009.03.11 03:30:00 - [17] The probes look pretty interesting right now. Someone must have made a ton of money with those already, too bad I won't be able to try my hands on that market today. fun day though for traders of all kinds

Opens Champagne very nice :) i unforutnatley was not on at peak times, however i did make about 50 mill and about 1.5 mill a pop across 3 regions, undercutting with a quantity of only 2 on sale to get other sellers to buy it up before listing another 2
Aricaan Gallente Playboy Enterprises Dark Taboo	Posted - 2009.03.11 06:11:00 - [19] Edited by: Aricaan on 11/03/2009 06:11:38 Made almost 125mil tonight. Most fun I had trading in a long time. Now im going to go blow it all on Boosters and Exotic Dancers. ISK rules everything around me.
