Now all implants have rapidly dropped down in price and well the rewards arent that great either... What manner of profit can we make from this now?

All implants? OI!
Willpower, Intelligence and Memory still bring in quite a healthy sum, but of course.. courier missions might not be your taste?

Maybe the implants wasnt intended to cost that much in the first place? Supply and demand drive the market. If it doesnt sell, lower the price. If it does sell good, up the price ;-)

Exactly .. so more people need to get PODDED for the prices to skyrocket... so starting ganking more !!!!!!!

In addition +3 implants which are becoming common will be replaced with +4,+5,+6 etc implants, which of course will be less common. Sure agent payout is nothing to write home about now, but Shiva and lvl4 agents will change that. I completed the lvl4 'The Blockade' mission last night on Shiva. After the 3 waves I had collected bounties on 7 Arch Angel Commanders, 1 Warlord and 7 Arch Angel Scouts. Bounties alone came to +5 million isk, that's not including mission bonus and the named modules I looted...and it was fun.

Which, for many people (me included) is a key factor for choosing to take a particular career path - including doing missions.

Perc is the only one that has dropped so far. Even if ALL the implants dropped in price, there would still be construction components, which, I think, provide a larger portion of agent runners' income than implants.
Auction your items for isk, works sort of like ebay. |

And these are cruisers? BS's?
Unsure as I do not do missions against Angels?

If they've dropped...I wanna know where!
I can remember much lower prices than the current ones, even if I couldn't afford them then (although I wish I had tried to get them then). Now, perc is actually affordable for me, and the others are becoming so, as I run missions.
And yes, I'm having fun, too!

I remember back in the days, when +3 implants were selling round 5 mill max and some even for 2.5 mill or lower...
Damn I'm feeling old.

Yeah Capt, I remember those days.
I still have my +3 will and perc implants installed which cost me 4.2mil and 4.5mil respectively in those days. A guy actually made a 20 jump round trip to deliver the willpower one, that's how hard it was to make a sale in those days!
It's all supply and demand. Loads of people work for security agents which drop perc and will implants. These are the more exciting missions and (not including implants) are certainly a lot more profitable than the delivery agents. A few months ago there was a bug that security agents didn't give the implant mission (in those days there was only one implant mission, a delivery mission involving transaction logs) as they got changed to only give kill missions. As a result, the supply of perc/will implants got dramatically lower and the price rocketed. In those days I looked out for perc implants for 15mil or less as I could easily sell them quickly for 20mil+.
Nowadays I'd guess that at least 70% of the non-R&D agent runners are working for security agents. This means that there will be a relatively large amount of perc/will implants introduced onto the market compared to mem/int implants. The demand for perc/will stays the same, the supply increases. When supply exceeds demand you get lower prices as everyone scrambles to sell their implants for whatever price they can get.
Change your agent and work for a school or something like that. It'll be boring delivery missions, you'll make less per mission but you'll get mem/int implants that are worth an awful lot more than perc/will implants as they're in a much shorter supply and are actually in higher demand. Science/industry characters always want them as they help shorten their chosen skill training. PvPers also want them as many of them have maxed out perc/will attributes and find that the important electronic and engineering skills all require mem/int to learn.
