Careful what you say about PI... You'll have loads of people troll for a week about it...
I guess being first and right rubs people the wrong way  
But I'll tell you why... Attention Span and Instant Gratification. People where spouting off for near two weeks about things like Guidance Systems and Robotics hitting 100K. The third week the story changed, as these items never hit above 30K long enough to make a difference (Apart from some mad manipulation that lasted only a few hours). The magical price was then changed to 50K, reality has set in for these people and they are dumping which is causing a market crash. Most PI is down from what it was, how far it'll crash is related to P0/P1 prices believe it or not..
A P2 Item at 3,000 ISK a unit means the P0 item costs 1.25 ISK each P1 costs 187.5 ISK. With these prices it means things like Guidance Systems and Robotics cost 10K.
PI believe it or not, is really all about the P0/P1 price. Despite be pointing this out over and over for two weeks in the face of a mountain of trolls reality has finally set in and these people are FLOODING the market with excess stock getting out while they can at the best price. Now they've still made profit sure, just not what they where toting.
Just remember that folks... P2 at 3,000 ISK means P0 costs 1.25 ISK each and P1 costs 187.50 ISK. P3 at 10K means P0/P1 are the same prices. Keep that in mind as these markets come crashing down. As some P2 items are knocking on 2,000 ISK a unit. At 2K the P0 would cost 0.84 ISK a unit. P1 would cost 125 ISK.
It's clear not all P0 and P1 items will be the same price. But it's a good rule of thumb. Any P2 below 3K ISK in my opinion is under valued.
Bolded the important part.
And ppl thinking 100k for p3s before was overestimating quite a bit imo. When I did research on SISI before investing into PI mats I estimated p3 at around 80k. But this was before they made some time saving changes with routing when restarting extractors.
With PI as it is atm I would say between 40-60k for p3s depending on how common the raw mats are.
However with the current stockpiles, which in some areas are quite huge, it will take a long time for prices to get there. And crashes are just to be expected. Atm, even though the "sell, sell, sell! DO IT NAOW!!!" crowd are really ****in useless at posting doomsday posts, some idiots seem to believe them and are therefore panicking.
