Why would players wanna buy the Sleeper loot drops for more than the NPC buy order prices... I see them all over The Forge for more than the NPC buy orders... I don't get how this makes any sense at all...

It does NOT make sense for you how NPC's and the prices they offer are worse than the ones players do? What game have you been playing so far? EvE Offline?
Why would players want these items... thats the whole question behind this post. Aren't they only good for 1 thing in the entire game = selling to NPC buy orders (which impose a price floor)??

what? hahaha this, in no way, even comes close to addressing a feasible answer to my question...
the NPC buy orders are 5,000,000... the player buy orders are 5,000,000.01

Sorry, I have no idea then.
But I do enjoy the fact that you provide us with minimal information and then when we try to offer rational solutions you THEN give us the information and laugh at us. That makes me want to help you out.
I was working off the assumption that:
A) Other people have almost assuredly seen this same thing in game, and have much more experience with Eve than me
-OR-
B) Someone may have taken 10 secs in game to actually open the market and look to verify that I wasn't full of crap
And don't try to act like your answer wasn't curt and condescending...

is it a big m3 item?
i would assume the penny they spend save hours of hauling but no idea sell one to a person then shoot them a mail .
No, they are tiny in volume... also, this doesn't really make sense as the player buy orders are in the same station as the NPC buy orders usually - only for a fraction of an ISK more so that people actually sell to them instead of the NPCs.
I would understand this if there was some possible chance of these things increasing in value in the future, but since they are only in the game to sell to NPC's at a set price - I am completely stumped as to why anyone would do this.

speculation then ?
Speculation on what? That CCP will raise the NPC buy order prices in the future, so ppl decided to horde Sleeper drops? Doesn't make any sense

Or long-term speculation - if nothing happens you can always sell back to NPCs at a minimal loss. Or <tinfoil hat>insider info about their possible future use</tinfoil hat>.
This ^ ... LOL... is, sadly, the only plausible thing that I can come up with as well 
People do some crazy sh!t.

It has nothing to do with COSMOS or T3, Sleeper components plays no part in any manufacturing.
They do play a very important part in the sleeper story line.
Why is that so difficult to accept?
Can I get a TLDR version of sleeper story line please? I want to know what would drive ppl to such market money madness.

This is the only thing that makes sense to me. Dirty money buys them then undocks and jets them for transfer to another toon????
Actually, I apologize. If anything, this does in fact make the most sense of anything else I've (not) thought of. An item with a set price is a perfect for this...
