Hey all! So I have been given a bunch of blueprints by my friend who left game. I really don't know much about the science and industry portion of the game. I am pretty sure that 1 blue print in particular is fairly valuable, but I'm really not sure.
The 1 blueprint in particular is a large trimark BPO.The general information is as follows:
Material level= 300
Wastage factor= 0.03%
Copy= no
Productivity level= 0
Licensed production runs remaining= infinite
Max runs per Blueprint copy= 300
Is there some sort of general guideline or formula I can apply to these blueprints to get a general idea of what they are worth? I'm also trying to see if it may be worth the time for me to try making use out of these. I really appreciate any help and/or advice you all can offer. Thanks for your time.

Unfortunately your friend did a lot of wasted research. Perfect Material Level is 15 for that BPO. Meaning the other 285 levels of research did nothing.
A brand new, unresearched original sells for 1,125,000 isk. Since you could only (honestly) count the first 15 levels of research as investment cost... your not looking at much more than original MSRP.

Search contracts by clicking "All Regions" then putting your BPO name in the items box. You should get all BPOs of that type on contract in Eve and what players are asking for them.
From there you can determine what you want to sell it for. At least Large Trimarks are an armor rig for battleships, one of the most popular for armor tanks.
As the other poster said, it may not be worth much more than the unresearched NPC station available BPO.

Unfortunately I doubt anyone will pay more than market value for it, seeing as they can just buy one and research it up to 15 themselves. If you find somebody who is really adverse to researching it themselves it might be worth a couple mil(going off the price quoted above).
If I were you I'd just hold on to it and build some rigs.

I would like to expand on the original question in general. Is there a standard, general figure for an hour's worth of research on a blueprint?
I would think that a unit of time is a much better way of determining the value of a researched BPO, since certain items take longer to research than others. The value of 1 ME on a Titan BPO would be worth a lot more than 1 ME on an ammo BPO.
Also, I would think that since there's diminishing returns as research increases, that the value per unit of time would also decrease as it accumulates.

Their are standards for one hours ME and PE research, however this are based on the cost of running a pos lab.
The value of the BPO is dependent on the amount the buyer is willing to pay and how long they are willing to wait to get one. It also depends on how many people are producing the item and how popular they are. SO are only worth NPC or below NPC as supply exceeds demand so people only buy due to it being a bargain.

Could you point me to those numbers? I'm just looking to get a very rough estimate using that as a starting point to try to value my current set of BPOs.
I would also imagine that the price of researched BPOs overall will have a downward trend. There's only so many players in Eve that do production, and researched BPOs are an infinite supply that isn't really consumed (aside from the occasional ship kill).
Or, am I completely wrong here? I would just like to note that I rarely post in MD because I always end up feeling stupid afterward.

have a look in the sell forum for people offering a research services. There was also a thread about setting up a POS to rent research slots out on this section a couple of weeks ago which had the fuel costs.
There is a stick at the top of sell forum with a list of people selling services. For example: Selling research BPO's and BPC's
One example is 50k install and 15000 isk per hour for all jobs. However some charge more for ME as there is more demand.
As for price, while there is an infernet supply not every one buys BPO's due to the cost, some are sitting on inactive accounts, some are sitting in storage (I have a lot currently in storage as its not worth the effort to build from them).
