Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but it's to do with market prices so IĘll carry on regardless 
I have a couple of cosmos bpcs and even though they aren't better than their t2 variant I wanted to build them partly because the slight pg saving will let me fit a bit more freely and secondly because they're not t2.
However on a trip to jita I priced up the parts to build my module and it came in at over 100m (for a large shield booster) this doesnĘt just put it the wrong side of stupid it puts it the wrong side of a faction booster, this is the same for allmost all the bpcs I have priced to build.
Why are the parts so expensive, surely after 3 years cosmos parts still can't be that hard to come by that they justify that kind of pricing? |

I decided to put in some effort and look up the outlaw bpc.
One part of the problem is the interface alignment charts that're needed as they are consumed by invention, but that only accounts for 29 m at Jita prices.
The other components will be expensive because very few people run those complexes since they were nerfed.
All I can recommend is find a cheaper method of purchasing them or gear up and obtain the parts from the plexes.

Your first paragraph explains exactly why people will buy COSMOS ("Storyline") items and BPC's. However, many of the items are, just as you realized, basically not worth making. I would say half, maybe even a third of all the COSMOS items in the game are actually profitable when weighed against T2 and Faction counterparts (and the price of each).
The reason why they're so expensive is simply because the modules to make them are so rare. Some are upwards of of 30M, just for one widgetłand sometimes the BPC will require two of them, besides other things. Archaeology is still a side-profession (some would say "dead end" profession), so supply is fairly low.
There are people who build them. But it's a niche market, and those people know their market very well.
Your thread belongs more in Science and Industry. You will probably get better answers there.
