O..M...G. I just found this in an exploration site, extremely hard, almost lost a battleship out of our gang in the process. Took me about 6 hours to scan the complex because it was a weak signal, but it was worth it! Pot of gold!
There is a module interface and ship interface, and the module interface is a more common drop than the ship interface (or so I'm told), so this was quite a find :D. This is the first minmatar ship interface I've ever heard of, but I spoke to someone who bought a ship interface bpc for 10b buyout and thought it was cheap. So let's get this auction started.
2-run Cryptic Ship Data Interface blueprint Build costs: Minmatar encryption methods level 1 100 Construction Alloy 50 Data Processor 800 Electric Conduit 250 Energy Cells 500 Mechanic parts
Item description: "Designed for use with Minmatar technology, this portable interface permits its user to course through the electronic stream of item schematics, hunting down the stray bits of data necessary for his grand creation. Only one data interface is required for invention, and it can be re-used as often as needed."
Item use: This is the Minmatar ship data interface. If you want to invent T2 minmatar ships, you NEED this interface. Once you have this interface, all you need is Minmatar Encryption Methods skillbook (plenty of those were availible one jita market last I checked for 100-200m), some data cores and a Minmatar ship bpc and you're ready to invent a Tech 2 bpc from that bpc!
Let me put the profit margin on this into perspective. This is not just like a HAC BPO, this will let you invent as many of any minmatar T2 ship as you want, you just keep buying data cores, decyptors (optional but useful) and Tech 1 ship bpcs and you can start producing your T2 ship bpcs.
Here's a list of what bpcs this lets you make:
Jaguar Wolf Claymore Sleipnir Cheetah Hound Muninn Vagabond Claw Stiletto Sabre Scimitar Huginn Rapier Mastodon Prowler Did I miss any?
What does this mean for you? This is your ticket into the Minmatar Tech 2 ship industry. The profit payoff in a year for this thing will be astronomical! You'll be able to invent only the most profitable ships and compete right alongside those people who have 60 billion isk HAC BPOS!
Starting bid - 5b Minimum bid increment - 1b Buyout - 20b Reserve - Hidden End Time - December 31 20:00 Eve Time
Sniper rule of 15 minutes on all auctions. Hidden reserves mean that I reserve the right not to sell at any price (unless the buyout is taken, then I'm forced to sell I guess).
Pickup will be in a random high-sec empire system.

*ponders*
I've fiddled around with invention a bit, and there are plenty of folks that have done loads of math about the potential profit margins on creating T2 BPCs for ships and such.
I'm sure that you...and anyone who is interested in invention can read up on them, so I'm not going to regurgitate anything, but I would encourage you to rethink your post about "the profit margin would be astronomical" bit.
I'm not flaming, congratulations on finding it -- you're probably the first. And the first of anything always sells for more than the subsequent ones. =)
I'm just offering that you may be asking for trouble with what might be considered "false advertising" or "hype marketing." The actual monetary gain to be made from T2 BPCs is significantly smaller than you're making it out to be. CCPs words of wisdom on the matter were that T2 invention was "costly, time-consuming, and difficult."
And so it is. It isn't meant to be an ISK printing machine, and it doesn't work for that; its really just to give folks an alternative to feeding the T2 market where monopolies hold sway.

I'd really like to hear from someone who's actually succeeded in invention. I know it's chance based to some extent, but how likely? 1%? 50%? I know the T2 BPC produced has lower runs and research level, but does that mean half runs? Less? How long does each attempt take? Two hours? Two weeks?
If I could turn a 15-run Stabber BPC into a 10-run Vagabond BPC with 50% success rate every two hours, then I'd say this is extremely worthwhile, and also that I can't afford it.
If, on the other hand, I'd have a 1% chance of turning the same BPC into a 2-run Vagabond BPC every two weeks ... well, that's certainly not too terribly valuable.
Until I hear more concrete info, I'm not willing to risk the vast sums you propose, especially since I believe it's going to cost a considerable amount to build it in the first place. I'll give you a bid, which I don't really expect you to accept:
500 mil.
Alternatively, would you be at all interested in a deal whereby I'd build you an interface with one run in exchange for the remaining run?

Originally by: Jaguar Dragon 5.1 billion. i understand reserve has been meet
Not to be picky but I beleive I set the minimum bid increment at 0.5b, so 5.5b is the next valid bid. and yes, the reserve has been met and the highest bid will win this auction.

so if the reserve has been met, and you accknowledge the highest bid wins, then i see no reason for the minimum bid of 500m to be offered.your min bid is totaly arbitrary on your part. my bid stands at 5.1 billion
anyone may bid higher than i have, what do you care how much it is, as long as your researve has been met.i have offered more

christ, it was only 6 hours. no need to get uppity.
minimum increment lowered to 100m because that's more reasonable. 1 day left to go. Bid 5.2b and you'll be in the lead and will win if nobody else bids!

Ends tonight! Bid 5.2b and it's yours (if you aren't outbid).
