I suggest total a boycott of cap recharger 2
The sellers have made a monopoly out of this, the prices are hillarious, but as long as people buy them the price will continue to stay as high as they are.
I have yet to use a cap recharger 2, and I refuse to use one untill it gets below 2mil isk (probably never but I do not care)
if anyone else want the price of these overrated goods to drop, stop buying them at 10 mil a piece, they are not worth it. !

Actually, up until today I refused to buy them. Obtained a couple of enemy ships which I blew up, but never bought any off the market.
Outfitting my new Raven this morning, I bit the bullet and bought 2.

Step 1) Blow up ship
Step 2) Steal Cap Rechargers
Step 3) Sell em back at cut throat prices

God no... not the whole Miner II thread again.
Why don't you guys dig up that swamp and start whining over there.
It's capitalism boys and girls, not cumminism. The world is not fair. You don't want to pay the price? Fine, then don't. Other have no problems with it and as long as people will continu to buy them for that price and there will not be enough competitors to start undercutting, it will at the current price.
Who cares you're boycotting them by the way? It's not like you were buying them anyway. It's just starting another flamewar.

They aren't many CPR II BPOs around, are there ?
So if a producer sells them at 2 Mio (which is already exagerated), some buy them and put them back on market at 14.
So... the producers don't want to make 'traders' (and that's the friendly way to call them) rich and sell at 14.
The only solution is to give producers more BPOs, or much better, to get rid of that lottery system and give BPCs as reward for research instead of BPOs.

Not really, advertise those things that your are selling them for that price ! Advertise till EVE blows from your advertisements.
Advertisement is the key to all. I'm wondering if ccp could make it possible to make the "this space is for rent" space on the billboards, rentable.. Or a advertisement board of somekind.. And some people are indeed to laisy to look further then their nose.. I spend days comparing prices of modules and all other crap but on the other hand this is the assignment my corp gave me  so don't think every buyer will spend days with comparing prices

Boycott all tech 2 items.
Take a look at the item database and check out how much the materials cost to make a particular tech 2 item, price the components in-game. You'll find that most of the time it costs an absolute fraction of an item's bloated market price.
100% markup I can understand, selling it for twice what it costs to produce. That's a healthy profit margin. Even 200% I can sort of deal with... barely.
500%? 1000%? That should simply not be tolerated at all.

I havn't bought any for 8 months, since they rose above 3m/each. I don't intend to buy them unless they return to it.
But hey if you are super rich go ahead, you will just drop nicer loot.

My profit margin is 25% (see my BYOC deal in my sig) and it's shown a slow but steady interest.

I nevery buy cap II's of market.
On general principal allready.
Bring the price down to 8 mill and I might reconsidder it.
This is an item that should have been a great comodity.
And they **** it up whit extream prices.
You can say it's a luxury item. But so it the t2 damage mods.
And they cost less than 2 mill.
But I guess they get them sold since the price is that high.
This is an item that should have been priced around 4-8 mill in my mind.
I support a total lock out of the cap 2.
If that is needed to bring the price down.

Boycott?!? Heck,,, no need to boycott,, I can't afford them,,, simple as that. I wonder if they would make more money if they just sold them cheaper? I sould think so, but who knows.
Better to sell 1000 at 1,000,000 profit then 10 at 10,000,000 profit. Yes? No?
Whatever

Kapitalism is supply and demand, boikotting something is a tool of kapitalism, has nothing to do with communism at all.
