I would because the current value of those Waschi SKINs is 9 Billion ISK, give or take.
I wouldn't because even with that much added ISK value to a PLEX pack, there's no guarantee the values of those SKINs will hold or mature. I simply don't trust SKINs to hold their value. Several SKINs are now being offered in discounted packs, randomly, and this makes SKIN investing a bad idea.
There's also nothing cool to use PLEX for. I play on annuals, and one of my characters has a stack of 16 PLEX sitting in Jita, all bought through PLEX sales. By extension, there's nothing cool to spend ISK on.
Some players might point out the value of that stack of PLEX will only mature, but I don't care about that. Whether I have 16 PLEX and a Billion ISK or 2,000 PLEX and 2 Trillion ISK, it doesn't bring any enjoyment to me. A Hel maybe, but someone seems to have a vendetta against anything above frigate and cruiser-class.
I try to have suggestions when I provide feedback, but I just don't know what would make this work. I know you're trying to entice me, and I want to be a good customer. I can honestly say though, if SKIN availability / exclusivity wasn't so erratic in the past, I would already have bought this 28 pack and posted about selling those SKINs for the extra ISK.
This in spades! Myself and a few friends were talking about this the other night. A couple of us would do it too... But you just get burned a few weeks or months later by CCP so I think folks are pretty gunshy about dropping this kind of quan for something that will be worthless in game in a few months. Look at the Rorqual and Mack skins in the pack... really, CCP that's all you can come up with?
This makes me think that your marketing folks think it is OK to perpetrate scams on their paying customers. If your marketing department worked for my company irl, I would fire them. Never, ever bait and switch the paying customer. This is just bad business. Just wow.
You know what word you need to use. Otherwise, good luck with your sale.

While I think that the idea of buying 28 plexes is hilarious and find these ship skins terrible I will agree to the above.
CCP needs to learn to be consistent, to be upfront and open in their communication and to stick to their words. If they want to lure in people with those skins (and they obviously do) they will have to unequivocally state that said skins are only to be gotten through high volume plex deals. Would be silly to pin them on a number, next moth the deal could be for 30 plex or perhaps 25, but it would need to be sufficiently high so that their scarcity is retained making their value lasting and warranted.
Then again, CCP's track record in regards to being consistent, upfront, open and sticking to their words isn't all that hot. Perhaps I'm just a negative nancy. |

Anyone?

I see people think about investing long term into vanity items. That is bad thinking. These vanity items are to be consumed or sold now for someone to consume, in longer timespan no one can predict what will CCP do that will influence prices. And when you consume SKIN, you cant sell it. As a collector item, rather priceless in collection considering rarity and later rather poor availability, and not destined to be sold, one should not bother asking for how much it will sold later.
Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

This is EVE, market speculation happens every day with all the things. Everything you buy or sell is affected by it. |

I would like to see them speculate, for example, how much you will pay only for a different color for the only one kind of ship in a game where there is no indication on overwiev that you are "special", and majority of players play zoomed out. I dont say its bad investment, I just say its not a good way to speculate on an item of such vanity and scarcity. PLEX is a lot better.

That's all true and it's related to my point. Those are the reasons why there won't be buyers of these SKINs beyond the first few who just have to own them for reasons. Anyone holding SKINs is going to get burned. Ask me how I know (and any CCPs or GMs curious about my cred, check Reject's assets for a good schadenfreude laugh).

Some examples of good moves regarding SKINs:
Never reduce the price of a SKIN, even for a sale. The only direction SKIN prices should go is up. Be forthcoming about the availability of a SKIN, and stick to it. If the Waschi SKINs are a limited promo, say so.

people buying characters, people buying supers, people investing in the new citadels, people who sometimes fly around in 25bil isk ravens. basing that ccp said the majority of people who play eve are professionals then ill assume that -ú400 is actually easy enough to spend on a game if they wanted to

I sold all of my skins that was once ships mainly because now only one character can fly that ship (skin) as before most all of mine could fly those ships in the past, for me skins are a wast as only one character can inject then fly that ship (skin) which is well.. sorta derpy.
Too be fair I'm not into what my crap looks like, it just needs to do what it's designed to do, I'm not space poor by any definition but to me spending ISK or RL monies on skins only usable on one character don't make allot of sense to me.
And to be honest, even if one could transfer skins from one character to another I still wouldn't bother as it's not a real ship like some were in the past.. |

Eve store is gone. That's too bad because you could get real products for money. It surely wasn't profitable enough for them ... Now, for a huge load of cash you get useless dematerialized stuff ... just ones and zeros. Why ? Because it's easy, it's effortless, it's lucrative.
I hope no one will buy this crap. |

SCARY!! ;) Agreed, but only if players are enticed on a wider scale. If CCP is more consistent with their treatment of SKINs and SKIN exclusivity, yes it will work as an incentive for PLEX packs and the price of PLEX will drop, CCP will have more revenue, and SKINs will receive more interest as investment items.

In a real market yes..in a game market..no. Why would people lower the price of plex when they know others will pay it anyways. Once it reaches a point..it rarely, if at all, ever goes back. It's not really a matter of supply and demand in this case..rather a matter of "what are people willing to pay". After all, if it costs too much to play for free..people will have to pay (CCP logic here)..right? What gets me are the ones who won't pay for a sub, but will buy plex with rl $...a sub is cheaper for pete's sake. Besides, the sub fee to play this game is chump change. Why spend half the month or more playing just to buy plex to play for free for another month of plex grinding? 
If I had a nickel for every time someone said women don't play eve, I'd have a bag of nickels to whack the next person who said it..
