I think people that sell BPCs to something that are not in the game are nuts. I can't believe the players that pay for a down payment would do that because I believe in "buyer beware". Plus do you know how much the BPOs will be when Kali comes out. I don't. That is something that will be known when the patch is in place. CCP can change their mind on all set prices.
Paying 10 mil or 15 mil for something is crazy if you can't see the item in the database is not good business. A tier 1 is around 1-2 mil, a tier 2 is around 3-4 mil, so the tier 3 BS should be around 5-6 mil, just opinion. Plus the more people that get the BPO and make copies can undercut those prices.
So I would warn everyone that these type of offers might be a scam. Or the jacked up price will just pay for the BPO so someone can have the BPOs for their self. They might make BPCs or not, no one knows.

okey to keep this more civil..
Fair points ^^^...
I feel that i have more than enough isk to get at least one set of the BPO. Based on how i already operate and play eve i would only be applying these BPOS to my collection for BPC making, this is how i make my isk in game and i do well from it, like many others.
Yes my thead taking pre-orders could be seen as a scam, but to them who know me ingame will know different as i wouldnt take 300mill+ in deposits for a scam, i am trusted by members with billions in BPOs, agreed this could be foolish on there part as i wouldnt trust my assets regardless with anyone else, unless i knew them in real life, but thats myself.
As for pre-orders, well again thats a choice i make, the deposits i would get are to stop time waisters only hence the request for a small amount, this wouldnt even pay for a Tier 1 BPO, and its safe to asume a tier 3 will cost quite a lot more than a tier 1 BPO.
I feel my thread is an honest and straight forward one, i offer only a service to reserve my first lot of BPCs to them who want that kind of service. It is then a choice of them who wish to take it up, there is enough in the game to make a good assesment if there 2mill isk for a deposit is safe or not.
As for a rip off, well that is very narrow minded, a value of any item can be placed i feel on what someone is willing to pay for something, its a little like waiting for the newest moddle of you gaming console, people will pay more to be the first inline its just a fact of life, and this applies here in many ways this game as we all know tests our paitents, and i for one am a person who if wants somot, wants it now, i hate waiting, and this game sure does test that.
All i am doing is using a sistuation to my advantage to capitalise better, thats just good business sence i see. Offering a chance for a product, if them will a chance to get it first at a price.

This is, and always will be, the sum of fair gameplay, good business, and the height of morality as I know it.

This is not what I see as good business. Selling something that someone doesn't have or is questionable about the availability of the item is not good.
The point to look at is "Buyer Beware."
Those that try to offer something not in the game yet is too close to a scam. There is no proof that the person advertising these Tier 3 BS or anything else for that matter, will be able to get the BPOs.
I saw mentioned that the BPOs could be thrown into the R&D lottery. If that is the case, the person that is advertising the BPCs will not be able to provide.
Or the BPOs will be delayed because Kali could be delayed.
Plus if the person advertising the product is receiving isk from friends then they must trust the provider. But if the isk are coming from a general player, they should be warned that this could be a scam.

Why warned that it could be a scam?
I can see a sensible precaution stating that successful completion is Dev dependent, as any yet to be introduced material is, however Rome0 is not promising that he has some inside deal that gaurantees this. He is selling off what he believes he may acquire just like anyone else may acquire it. If he doesn't, there is no doubt in my mind that he will return the funds to those who gave it to him. This ain't some **** ant nobody stumping around offering vaporware.
He has the credibility to make such an offer and, pardon me, but you do not have the credibility to slander his offer as a scam. As to the business acumen surrounding his activity, refuting it as "good business" says much of your own business sense, not his or mine. If you take a few moments to offload some of your steam somewhere else you might see that me thinks.

I don't have 12 of them but in all other respects... Ditto.
Protagonist must have an Antagonist. Otherwise he's just a guy playing with himself.

I have two prints sitting at your station that you never claimed. Am I to assume that you'll be too busy now to research those?

No one is going to make copies of the tier 3 BS and Bc's. Have you seen the copy time on those things? I would much rather produce than copy.
