Not really, as for your values, 400.000*2125 isk +100.000.000 + some mineral costs equal about what the vindy costs on the market, it won't fall below that really, unless someone drops some stuff on the market just to get rid of it.
Same goes for the Nestor, 600.000 LP + 150.000.000 + minerals result in a minimum price of about 600.000*2.2 + 150.000.000 + 150.000.000 = 1,6 bil and surprise, that's where the price balanced itself out after not being use much (min value). Demand will increase that, but lack of it won't drop it under the current LP value which is the only one really influx. And since SoE LP where always high in demand due to probes and other profitable items and got pushed by the new hulls this won't be anytime soon.
If the Nestor isn't attractive for LP reimbursement then another item will be, the exchange will lessen and the nestor will be dropped, less availability pushes the price and it rises again.
Point, there is a minimum worth and it will stay that way, while being dependent on the LP worth. As a manufacturer mineral cost have a lesser impact then LP - at least as long as we talk faction and t1.
But lets not hi-jack the thread.
Ofc the value calculated from sell price, minerals and LP store price will match pretty damn good with what it actualy cost on the market (the point about including sell price in the first place)
You can use the high sec store to calculate the LP value, but the fact is that you can get it for 400k LP + 100m in 0.0 just as the other pirate BS.
LP is NOT the only way to get these ships, and until CCP release numbers for how many ships come from drop vs LP store im going to assume that lower LP values than what you can get with 5min research is related to drops.
If you can show me proof that 600 or less is all you can get from Gurista LP, i will happily agree that drops dont mather. Until such a time, my claim still stands as drops do effect the price. If nobody wanted the Nestor it would cost 200m or less since BPC (or chip) can be gotten in drop. Fact is that people are WILLING to pay almost 50% more for the Nestor than the sell order price for any other pirate BS (not counting Barghest as its still new, and suffer the same screwed pricing as Nestor)
