Jas Dor Minmatar	Posted - 2007.02.27 16:21:00 - [1] In Ours last night on the buy order side. I know it's been said before but these prices are getting a bit silly. 0.0 rocks probably still > Empire rocks but I suspect Empire rock > low sec rocks.

Motivated Prophet Zerodot Schools Power Corrupts Industry's	Posted - 2007.02.27 16:48:00 - [2] 111,888,000 m3 is the magic number to enter for cargo at EveGEEK to get an even number of all ore types (except perhaps Mercoxit, which uses different lasers, anyway). Remember that actual mining isk/hr will be a little higher on lower-class ores, as you'll get more out of each laser cycle due to the finer granularity of the rock. Oh, and update their mineral prices before you hit submit. MP -- TINY. Stage 2 IPO, because good things come in pairs.

Quinton McTish McTish Industries	Posted - 2007.02.27 19:57:00 - [4] Nothing wrong with high buyer prices, seeing as I sell minerals when I don't need them for manufacturing. Scordite has been the big deal for weeks now, if not months. It's been holding steady. I'm personally waiting for Nox to make a comeback.

Niton Stormrider HCD	Posted - 2007.03.06 15:35:00 - [9] Personally I'll be riding the scordite high as long as I can. It's worth more than most lowsec roids and when you factor in the huge risks of mining in gankville, with the market as it is right now only an idiot would mine in lowsec for profit. The only reason to mine in lowsec right now is to aquire specific minerals that you don't want to buy, and you don't have reasonable access to 0.0 mineral rights. Even then, you likely better off selling pyer and buying your other mins unless you get off on the paranoia of mining in lowsec. :)
BSAC Manager	Posted - 2007.03.06 15:51:00 - [10] Yes, Pyerite is extremely overpriced. Anything above 7.21 isk I consider it price gauging. So either stop buying Pyerite, or go mine it yourself. Are mineral prices hurting you? Do something about it, invest in the Mineral Reserve.

Anything above 7.21 isk I consider it price gauging. Base price on Pyerite is 8.00 per unit, and that would be the "fair" price. I don't take anything below 15-20% as "price gouging", so even 9.60 per unit is still a relatively decent price. _ MySkills \| Module/Rig stacknerfing explained

IIRC hemo/hed were worth around 150isk/m3 when omber/kernite were 120, so those also haven't been worth mining for a long time.

No, this entire statement of yours is wrong based on the prices I see for minerals.

Block Ukx	Posted - 2007.03.06 19:32:00 - [16] Akita T, I did some calculations some time ago as to what should be the maximum mineral price. I determined that Pyerite should never go above 5.77. The Mineral Reserve defines price gauging as anything above 1.25+ the maximum mineral price. Using the same calculations, the Mineral Reserve can determine the ôfairö price of minerals. Standard Mineral Prices: Tritanium 2.50 Pyerite 4.01 Mexallon 23.66 Isogen 69.26 Nocxium 413.58 Zydrine 1,810.58 Megacyte 1,943.45

There is no way to determine the "real" price of all minerals in the game unless you know the #'s of every item produced & looted, the demand for those goods and the relative percentage of each ore mined compared to each other.

Without all this info you're only looking at a part of the equation. I agree. Where are those numbers coming from? Current prices for all of those minerals except tritanium are WAY above you "fair price"; does this mean everyone in the galaxy is price gouging on every mineral transaction? If a model fails to predict market action that badly, it needs to be reassessed, especially when what we have is more or less a completely uncontrolled free market.
Block Ukx	Posted - 2007.03.06 21:20:00 - [19] Shadarle, Yes the calculations are based on the income mining yield per time. Why people are still mining anything but Scordite beats me. Every high-sec miner should be mining Scordite. Yet, tons of people must be mining Veldspar, because Tritanium remains stable. Niton, Not all prices are WAY above the Standard Mineral Price. Only Pyerite and Megacyte are way off. The Mineral Reserve defines price gauging for anything selling above 1.25X maximum mineral price. Anything selling for more than the following prices is considered Price Gouging. Tritanium 4.50 Pyerite 7.21 Mexallon 42.59 Isogen 124.66 Nocxium 744.44 Zydrine 3,259.04 Megacyte 3,498.21 And by the way eve is far from been a free market. Lots of people make a living by market manipulation.
Niton Stormrider HCD	Posted - 2007.03.06 21:34:00 - [20] My mistake, I forgot to multply your fair price index by the 1.25 gouging factor. However, I would argue that market manipulation doesn't preclude a free market...by "free," I meant that there is no regulatory authority looking over the market, auditing books, imposing price controls, granting monopolies, etc. It seems to me that it would be very difficult, especially in a market with as many producers and consumers as the minerals market (capital ship components for example are a WHOLE other kettle of fish), for anyone to manipulate the market to their own ends to any great degree. If you are basing the price index purely on the effort going into mining the various minerals, you miss the demand component entirely, which I imagine is much harder to qualify. (This is not a flame, by the way, you've arrived at very reasonable numbers, I'm just feeling around for ways to improve them)
Shadarle	Posted - 2007.03.06 21:42:00 - [21] Originally by: Niton Stormrider If you are basing the price index purely on the effort going into mining the various minerals, you miss the demand component entirely, which I imagine is much harder to qualify. This is EXACTLY the point I was trying to make. Simply setting a value on minerals based on the percentage of each mineral mined is a false value. If one mineral is used 20% more than another then that is very important. You cannot look only at the supply side and ignore demand. For example, look at any ship. The % of minerals used is not constant between them all. Some use extra Zyd, some use extra Nox... this means that you can try to set a "fair" price for minerals based on how easy they are to mine, but if the cheaper ones are demanded twice as much as the others then that will have a major impact and throws off you "fair" price.

Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.03.06 22:04:00 - [22] Edited by: Akita T on 06/03/2007 22:01:45 Every times somebody says something like "fair mineral prices should stabilize mostly if not only depending on mineral composition of rocks" ("and optionally maybe security rating where you can find them"), it completely ***s me up and I end up physically LOLing. Ok, not only are you completely neglecting the hardwired low-high limits of mineral prices (NPC-sold goods and insurance payouts), you are also neglecting the fact a minerals (especially lowends) DON'T EVEN COME EXCLUSIVELY FROM MINING, but instead a good deal come from recycling loot, especially a bit of tritanium and loads of pyerite ! Never forget, recycling just about everything is your friend. See anything on the market that recycled yields more minerals as assembled ? BUY it, recycle it. There are plenty of morons who don't take into account self-mined minerals when determining an end-user product price, so you can basically regard them as cheap miners. Again, same things could be said for mission-runners and the very populated hubs, you will find VERY good deals of typical loot dropped that are below mineral cost... or at least, you might be able to fill buy orders below mineral cost. One of the reasons from the recent price hike of lowends was surely the massive ban of almost 200 macro-miners' accounts, but also the "nerfification" of NPC loot drops (at least for hisec, I'm fairly certain that's the case). Also, the fact people start to get smarter (or should I say more observant) and no longer sell products below corresponding mineral prices all that often anymore.

Block Ukx	Posted - 2007.03.07 00:26:00 - [23] I already explain in my previous calculations thread the assumptions I made to come to my conclusions. But to remind everyone, IÆm looking at the equilibrium case where by definition Supply = Demand. Therefore one can look at the supply side of the equation without knowing the demand side. Both sides should arrive at the same answer, otherwise is not equilibrium. In my simple model IÆm only looking at the miner supply. Again, this is a first order approximation to a much complicated problem. I agree, influx of loot is not in the model, but this could be added latter to make the model more accurate. In any case, the solutions I have shown are correct for the assumptions I made. Mineral prices are always going to fluctuate around the equilibrium price. I use this numbers to decide whether to sell or to buy a particular mineral. If I were I miner I would use this numbers to decide which ore to mine. In any case, my conclusion based on my model is that Pyerite is extremely overpriced.

[...] In any case, the solutions I have shown are correct for the assumptions I made. [...] In any case, my conclusion based on my model is that Pyerite is extremely overpriced. To keep it VERY short and to the point, with the risk of sounding all to brutal. Your assumptions are not all correct, but in general they are pretty close to the truth. However, your model is an overly simplified one, skipping a lot of major factors of mineral prices, to the point of becoming meaningless. Therefore, any conclusion you might have drawn from your modeling are far, far away from game reality. And that even if you made perfect calculations. Your calculations merely show what the "fair" prices would be, given a limitless supply of cubic meters of ore obtained from mining, and miners only looking at "best ore to mine price-wise". The deviation of your model compared to the game's "reality" might as well be a factor of two (double/half), and I'm even being generous here. Unfortunately I have to agree with Akita here. I do not think there is a question about what your assumptions are... we understand you are assuming demand=supply. The problem is that that assumption is simply so far away from the actual state of the game that it makes the rest of the assumptions invalid. I have no problem with theoretical mineral math. I quite enjoy it actually. The problem is that you are taking it to another level when you try to apply that theory to say pyer prices are too high. Given your assumptions your equations are probably very good. Taking away your assumptions your equations are not very good. In game your assumptions are not valid, thus the equations derived based on them are invalid. If you were to take a sampling of say 20 fairly popular items, list the average amount sold on any given day and the mineral cost for each. The determine the average demand of each mineral. During the same time period you then could check how many minerals were sold of each type. You could then compare that to your mineral math and try to determine a true "fair" value.... but I would bet you that the number would come out very close to the in-game value. But I would still find it very interesting and perhaps applicable (albeit still forgetting to calculate salvaged minerals). So in summary, your "fair" prices are only "fair" in a hypothetic universe, not in the game that we play. Tanking Setups Compared Stacking Penalty / Resists Explained
Lygos Finis Actum	Posted - 2007.03.07 07:12:00 - [27] Hmm. I suppose if some enterprising soul with IGB webby know how was feeling industrious, and was popular enough, he could make an IGB compatible webboard for registrants to append their tags to contracts. If you had a pyerite subboard for example, pyerite buyers could easily circumvent NPC supply constraints on product values. A really well organized, searchable and popular IGB site could supplant the old escrow system. Personally, I'd find a way to bill fees if I could, but I lack both the needed knowledge and tools. If it uses trusted tags, you could have pages portalled on a per region base, or any other index. Untrusted functionality would naturally be more popular among non-alts though. You can get the contract tags by right clicking and hitting copy after posting one in a chat box. This will not supplant the market on smaller orders given the fixed, non-percentage tax. This doesn't eliminate the NPC influence on the market of course, but it does offer alternative possibilities. --- T2 Risk \| Corp Divisions

You are basing this on the Item Database, Aren't you? Indirectly and to a small extent only. To clarify, I base that on the following facts: * build/recycle amounts and ship insurance payouts (THAT is the only link to the Item Database) * average self-experienced amount of loot drops in missions combined with "faction/police ship kills" map info in mission hubs * value and amount of buy/sell orders for minerals and "common loot drops" in both market and mission hubs ... and on the following assumptions: * if you can reprocess NPC goods to get lower price for some minerals, you will do so instead of buying them * unless you want/need to get rid of your stuff fast, you will not sell anything below "component" manufacture price, worst case scenario you'll reprocess it and build something else instead (like, a ship, for instance, see below) * if you CAN build some ship efficiently, and can't sell a ship for more than ~80% of platinum insurance, you'll blow it up instead * people mining "higher grade/tier" ore (supposedly harder to find, or at least riskier to aquire) will expect better "ISK rewards" for their work ___ Simply put, longer-existing T1 SHIPS will never sell below 70% nor above 120% of the manufacture price, and they'll usually sell for a bit ABOVE platinum payout. This in turn means the "typical basket" of minerals averaged out among T1 ships manufacture "perfect build" requirements will usually gravitate towards 90-100% of platinum insurance payout. This again means that whenever a highend mineral drops in price for whatever reason, the lowends rise in price to counterbalance the "typical basket" price. Also, lowends won't grow past a certain point, and that point is the NPC goods recycling lowend indirect price. It really doesn't matter where minerals come from.

bogir War And Peace Construction	Posted - 2007.03.12 18:20:00 - [33] Edited by: bogir on 12/03/2007 18:16:11 ORE Veld - $82,28 Scord - $126,56 Pyro - $87,42 Plag - $100,20 Omber - $102,63 Kernite - $115,98 Jaspet - $102,39 Hemo - $98,82 Hedb $115,50 Gneiss - $157,79 Dark Ochre - $174,75 Spod - $142,11 Crokite - $295,27 Bistot - $363,25 Arkonor - $484,05 Merc -$567,00 This are all ore value in isk per 1m3.. and baced of buy order prices in the forges: Tritanium - 2,74 Pyerite- 9,71 Mexallion - 24,00 Isogen - 95,00 Nocxium- 305,00 Zydrine- 1.650,00 Megacyte - 3.900,00 Morphite - 4.500,00 --------------- in ohter words this is why scord is the best high / low sec ore - you need to go 0,0 mineing to get better isk per m3 now a days... and this is ALL becosue there are all the war going on down in the south.. and the slupply of tirit and pry and mex is to low vs high end minerals. thats why they paying more and more to get it. and its allso becouse of the capital ships / BS they are loseing each day they use a bigger % of thos 3 minerals vs high end stuff and due to low slupply of thos 3 they are in buy price war allso. not sure if any have say this. but i ditten real all poste fully hehe
Silver Night Caldari Intergalactic Combined Technologies THE INTERSTELLAR FOUNDRY	Posted - 2007.03.12 19:57:00 - [34] Originally by: Akita T Originally by: BSAC Manager Yes, Pyerite is extremely overpriced. Anything above 7.21 isk I consider it price gauging. Base price on Pyerite is 8.00 per unit, and that would be the "fair" price. I don't take anything below 15-20% as "price gouging", so even 9.60 per unit is still a relatively decent price. I'm not sure what you mean by 'base' here, but the NPC price is a power of 4, just like all the other minerals. Base NPC price of Pyerite is 4.00/unit, not 8. Of course what determines the market price is market forces, however the prices of things for insurance purposes are still, I think, based off of the old NPC prices of minerals. It stays balances because Megacyte is way below its 4096.00/unit base price most times. Mexallon was under 16.00/unit too, but I'm not sure about now as I ahven't been doing the market recently. -------------- Director. GLS Mr. State Caldari Patriot. Murderer of (his own) Frigates.

bogir War And Peace Construction	Posted - 2007.03.12 21:22:00 - [36] as i sayed a cupel of postes up... there is a LOT of war / fighting going on in the south regions of eve now a days.. and there is a lot of cap ships and BS getting blowed to bits down there, and sins BS / cap ships use a 80% of the minerals is trit / pry and mex - and the slupply of it is low sins most players use to mine ohter stuff giveing better stuff aka more isk per m3, and now they are all in need of thos minerals. and there are lots of alliances setting up trade orders to get it fast they can. and when ohter playres need to more they pay more and then the war is raiceing the mineral prices sins there are both in big need of them and they want it more then the ohter side. and sins around 80% of eve players dont like mineing there for there are to few miners to slupply the wars down there atm
Miss KillSome	Posted - 2007.03.13 11:38:00 - [37] well, guys, u really have to thank southern war.. there was so much kills that needed to be replaced that market just couldnt follow up with demands for building ships..
Block Ukx	Posted - 2007.03.13 12:03:00 - [38] If mineral and ship supply is low like everyone is claiming, Why havenÆt ship prices go up? Ship prices should have gone up considerably if the war had any effect on the markets. It makes me wondered if ccp is injecting ships into the market to keep the war going. The only thing I have seen go up in price near the war zone is ammunitions and modules. But then again, once in a while I spot an irrationally low ammo sell order that no player in their right mind would have placed it. Any idea of how much ccp manipulates the market? ItÆs a game after all.
Drethon Gallente Knights Hospitalier	Posted - 2007.03.13 12:27:00 - [39] Edited by: Drethon on 13/03/2007 12:25:54 Trit and Pyer supply may be low due to demand but this isn't everything. Take a Megathron (the only BS I've built so far), its mineral components are: 75% Trit 19% Pyer 5% Mex 1% Iso and traces of the rest. On the other hand, using the mineral values above, the mineral value percentages are: 23% Trit 20% Pyer 13% Mex 12% Iso 10% Nocx 13% Zyd 10% Mega Hi sec minerals make up about 55% of the value of a Megathron (Iso could be considered hi or low sec, but where I mine at the hi sec stuff doesn't last the day). If low sec minerals crash while hi sec minerals are spiking, ship values will not be affected. Equipment is completely different. Equipment that depends primarily on hi sec materials should have gone though the roof and started leveling out since hi sec stuff seems to be reaching a stable point. Equipment that depends on low sec materials will end up being cheaper than ever. If low sec mineral prices had not gone down ( supplies released or the new drone regions ), then an increased demand for ships would have caused prices to go up but instead everything balanced out for this type of item.
Kelso Bluebane Minmatar Un4seen Development	Posted - 2007.03.13 15:52:00 - [40] People are overlooking the principal reason Pyerite and Mexallon are high in value, the last mission loot nerf had a two fold effect on prices. Most modules have a high content of both, the nerf caused a drop in supply of both as most mission runners reprocess their loot and sell. Also there is some demand for for said modules now to be built thus influencing the demand. Add to the equation that bonus rewards from missions no longer supply vast piles of ammunition which also has to be built and you have some indication of why both minerals are in such demand. On the whole this benifits the community as it actually opens up realistic mining and manufacturing careers to newer players. High end prices have dropped significantly probably due to the new drone regions. Low sec mining needs a major boost before you'll ever see mass migrations in that direction. A step in the right direction would be an overhaul of POS refining arrays and freighters being able to dock there. An improvement in higher end asteroid growth might be in order too and possibly some better ores.
Ingols	Posted - 2007.03.13 16:59:00 - [41] If the price of Trit is 2.50, then the price of Megacyte should be within 2% of 3125. Converse of that is if Megacyte is 1945, then Trit should be within 2% of 2.61 If you don't know why, stop trying to be a mineral trader now before you hurt yourself.

ItÆs a game after all. a raven is gorn up... yes i find a lot of em for 102mill still but it cost 100mill whit todays prices to build.. i sold 5+ of em last week or so for 115mill each. but yes i allso sell a littel away form big marked hobs. and close to 0.0 / low sec. but its first whit in the last cupel of weeks that i seen em under 110mill a pop anohter is there have been large amounts of allrdy build ships on marked for a long time. and then mineral plices have been building up prity fast. and the ship prices will go up when the cheep build ships get sold. and builders need to restock. then they have to build whit the more costy minerals and then the prices will go up.
Shadarle	Posted - 2007.03.15 00:30:00 - [43] Ravens cost me 85-88 mil to make... if they cost me 100 mil to make there would be 0 reason to build them imo and I' sell them at the highest priced spot in my region which sells quite a lot of ravens.

Do you get your minerals of the market or do you have delivery contracts from miners or mining corps?
Shadarle	Posted - 2007.03.16 04:19:00 - [45] Local market... and when I had a miner friend mining for me I payed them slightly over regional prices for their minerals. If you are making less than a 2-3% profit on an item you are producing then I don't know what to say other then... why are you wasting your time? I refuse to manufacture anything that doesn't have a 20% profit and that sells a decent quantity easily on a daily basis. Tanking Setups Compared Stacking Penalty / Resists Explained

I know it's been said before but these prices are getting a bit silly. 0.0 rocks probably still > Empire rocks but I suspect Empire rock > low sec rocks. The fact that low sec rocks have added risks associated with them aswell makes them unpalatable. Low sec really needs a boost. The worst low sec rock is still better than the best high sec rock. Some as much as 4 times better (granted it used to be 6 times better). I don't think any miner doesn't wish they could do low sec mining. No, it's not. Jaspet is now worth less than Scordite, and the best low sec ore isn't even worth 50% more, let alone 4x as much.. Infact you have to hit crokite just to be worth > 2x as much. No, this entire statement of yours is wrong based on the prices I see for minerals.

BAMF CEO	Posted - 2007.03.24 05:15:00 - [47] Originally by: Block Ukx Shadarle, Yes the calculations are based on the income mining yield per time. Why people are still mining anything but Scordite beats me. Every high-sec miner should be mining Scordite. Yet, tons of people must be mining Veldspar, because Tritanium remains stable. I wouldnt be surprised if people are mining veldspar still. Im a high sec miner and a couple hours before DT its hard to find any scord. Most of it is mined out early especially in crowded systems. I know in one noob system most of the Veld and all the scord is mined by about 23:00 GMT.
Tanaka Nari	Posted - 2007.03.29 09:46:00 - [48] Originally by: Shadarle No, this entire statement of yours is wrong based on the prices I see for minerals. These are the prices I've been paying for some time now for minerals: [...] Here are the Ore values based on that: [...] You need to factor in different ore volumes. Mining 100 units of Veldspar doesn't take the same time as mining 100 units of Jaspet, and miners calculate value/time and not value/unit.
Snabbik Shigen	Posted - 2007.04.02 17:40:00 - [49] Yep, when it comes to mining for revenue - ISK/m3 is the only thing that matters.

Look at my numbers, they obviously do account for that or the numbers would be DRASTICALLY different. My numbers are right for the mineral prices that I see in high sec.

Xi Chao	Posted - 2007.04.02 21:31:00 - [51] I think a big factor in mineral prices may be the large amount of players being able to pilot capital ships now, when i first started playing the game back in august 2005, the servers averaged around 12k people online at peak times, over the next few months this limit rose very quickly to the level we are at now. That was almost a year and a half ago, just enough time for most to reach the skill level required for capital ships, therefore demand is going up. Also alliances/corps arent afraid to use there capital ships anymore, there regularly on the front lines, and getting lost daily. Same thing happened with HAC's at first few people could fly them so the prices were below 100m each as more people gained the ability to use them the prices rose. HAc prices was due to supply and demand of the ships them selves, mineral prices are going up due to the demand for the capital ships which require large amounts of low ends, luckily the high ends have crashed to off set this otherwise ship prices would have gone through the roof.

Trebor Locke Gallente Round Table Enterprises	Posted - 2007.04.03 21:11:00 - [53] I think it's important to take note that when CCP makes it so you must explore for every single asteroid belt, all minerals prices are going to sky rocket. So to me, current price doesn't matter. And for what I do, I make money on all fronts producing with and reselling minerals :) -------------- Round Table Enterprises Your friendly heavy production corporation.
