I can't condone price fixing but I will say that if a corp gets a new T2 BPO, they are fully justified in making as much cash from the print as possible while they can.

This a competitive game, and the wealth of big corporations makes a huge difference in their ability to compete on the battlefield.

The big corporations have worked hard to get where they are today, and put them in a poition to purchase these new T2 BPO's at admittedly crazy prices. So i can see why we are seeing T2 cruisers selling for 100+ million isk. Its all about making the most of your investment while you can, and unfortunately it is always the little guy that suffers.

We were all "little guys" at one time though. I remember forking out 8m isk for each miner II laser and there was a LOT of resentment towards the corps that held T2 mining laser BPO's for the prices. The Techell Corp came along and made out they were doing EVE a favour by lowering their price to 5m isk.

The guys that are small today, will one day become major players in the markets if you put in the time and effort - people should stop resenting those with financial power right now - for one day, even the n00b in his reaper will be one of the big guys.

It's a natural progression.
