~27 units produced every day. Limited number of BPOs in existence. Cost of manufacture ~100,000 isk. Unlimited demand.
The market sets the price. 12-15 million per unit. The only way to lower this price is to make more - and that can't happen without more BPOs in game.
The market sets the price? I'm not so sure. This is a monopoly item that does NOT sell at max capacity. I see the same ones day after day on Escrow.
Want proof the price is not market driven? Simple, the price hasn't gone up. Or Down. Correct me if I am wrong but it seems pretty price fixed to me. The great thing about a monopoly.
I suggest you give/sell 'cheap' this item to BIG or NAGA and let them pump them out at minimal markup. And guess what,, that will force the rest of the monopolizers to rethink their pricing structure.
The problem is that some idiot will buy them all up at the new low price and within 3 miutes put them right back on the market at 13 mill.

There's an easy fix to this. Stop selling them for a month, then list 810 of them at 5mil a pop. If someone wants to buy 40 billion in chargers to try to control the market, I'd love to see it. Next month list them for 3mil. Eventually the price goes down to 2-3 mil (which is reasonable for such a high demand item).
People who claim to want to lower the price but don't do the obvious are probably just rationalizing :)

Dream on .. 810 x 5 = 4,050M
4 billion not 40. They would disappear instantly.

Despite my poor extemporaneous math skills, the point remains. No one is going to sling 4 billion around even to keep the cap recharger market up. Slow it down and list them for 10mil, then 5 mil, et cetera. Or make it two months of production. Whatever :)
The point is there're things that could be done to lower the price, even doing it more slowly, say starting with 800 of them listed at 10mil.

Why not? They invest 4b, and make 8-10b back selling the rechargers at inflated prices.
You just handed someone a free 4-6b isk. Smart.

i encourage everybody to read about Adam Smith and then look at this thread.
because the product is being manufactured by so few individuals and given the demand they can keep whatever price they want. according to adam smith while many manufacturers produce a product in demand they'll need to compete for consumers and thus maintain a lower price while that is their interest and the lower price is a consumers interest. and meanwhile those who do own the BPO can collaborate and decide on prices together cause obviously it's in all their interests to maintain as high a price as possible.
