Something that is not a microtransaction. EVE is, after all, a subscription-based game. I dislike double-dipping (charging for content on top of sub fee), but for cosmetics I guess it is okay.
So, in my books $1-$3 is a cosmetic microtransaction. Perhaps $5 on the outside (supercap skin, special super blingy limited time skin for subcap).
The fact that there will apparently be "timed" versions of the skins already tells me that the permanent ones are going to cost quite a bit. I fully expect CCP to price these mimicking pricing of free-to-play games (LOL permanent skins, if I'm not mistaken are in $5-$20 range and I guess they are trying to duplicate this while ignoring the fact that EVE has a subscription fee)
So my guess at CCP's price points;
Timed skins between $1-$5, permanent ones $5-$25, with most $10+ and with some bling bling outliers above it. Probably will try cashing in from supercap pilots and price skins for those perhaps even higher.
And they will sell poorly because, as I said, grossly overpriced. |

Me neither, but I don't see 365d timed skin to ever exist as a NPC loot drop either. It's going to be NES thingy, as a #pooredition for those who don't like the grossly overpriced price points of permanent skins.
(Me grumpy bittervet? Guilty as charged. I was around when monocles were a thing and Jita monument was lit up. I would like to remind CCP devs those lessons learned)
