So, what's your best in-game purchase(s)? Doesn't have to be a good deal when it comes to ISK, can be just something you bought that you are happy with.
For me I've done some good and bad buys ISK-wise but don't regret them one bit.
Gist X-Type 100MN MWD - 20 ISK
Apocalypse - 500 ISK
The Veldnought - 3,000,000,000 ISK
Veldspar Crystal II BPO - 1,000,000,000 ISK
Help me help you. |

Auxillery Thruster I rig. 2.5mil
Was pretty pleased with that with a market price of
above 20mil. Made it very valuable to use and/or sell.
This was in the first days of rigs becoming available on
the market.
That's really it tho :(, for now at least.

Escrow bargains:
Apoc and 'Pest both around 100-120k.
Cormack's EANM 30m
Nice investment: Gist B-Type XL booster, bought when they were around 300m (I forget exact price) Still got it today, its made me a ton of ISK and is now worth way more than I paid. (It also survived when my PC locked up doing WC and the raven went boom. Ship was worth about 1.5b total and I managed to recover about 1.3b worth of mods from the can. A lucky day...)

My first Apoc: loved it from the moment I first flew it. As a (then) dedicated miner it was the best ship available.
Three years later, and I'm a dedicated mission runner, and still flying an Apoc 90% of the time (although I'm now on my third one). Yes, I could run some of the missions faster in a Raven (and I do have one, for some specific missions, like Zazzmatazz, Damsel), but I just love the tank and cap on the Apoc.
Apoc: 100mil
Hardeners: 10mil
Repper: 3mil

The NavyThron and some officer mods are the best so far. I don't remember the prices but I got them cheap and I'm very happy with them.
The one I kind of regret is the Tower. It was needed for research but, seriously, God I hate that thing! When most happy you are doing your stuff 30 jumps away, the low fuel message start flashing. And the fuel, the freeking fuel! I really hate that thing. |

Nothing of note really. Mega Modulated Beam Laser for 500k instead of 50m. Bout it really.
Things I'm glad I bought, regardless of price; any of the ships I fly. And every EVE payment I make.

hey hey.
1) vaga from naga : I also bought it for 75mil many many moons ago and eventually sold it for 190mil I rarely flew it and still dont miss it.
2) Gist B-type Large Shield Booster - 350mil : These things are the mother*******sex on comand ships the cap saving is gorgeous.
3) XXX XXX XXX XX BPO : i made so much profit from this BPO its just not funny. Its a basic TI mod that was/is available to everyone and the margin on it was quite a bit considering. recently i buggered up and its now gone to that place in the database noone looks in but i made some nice isk when i needed it.
4) 50 shares of Otherworld Enterprises : Dunno what made me do it at the time but I was flush and wanted something "just because"
5) Eve Subscription :)))

I forget which patch, but when all of the Towers doubled in price, I went on a buying spree to puchase all of the ones off of escrow in empire, to turn around and resell for just under the current market price.

Sorry, pet peeve... The actual cost of the Myrm was the market value of your mins + what you payed for the trit. Just because you mined it doesn't mean that it has no value, it's called opportunity cost.
As for the question, it's gotta be the free snowballs from the dev one christmas. I made a killing reselling them to collectors who didn't know that a dev just dumped 2 full cans of them in Oursulaert, and now they're all melted !
Also, when escrow was around, I picked up some mine BPOs and used them to 'get market info' and buy others for 200k a pop. I then sold them on escrow to collectors, which brought in decent income for a while.
Worst buy: 800 mil (only buy what you can afford, doh!!) worth of Ptec, yes a scam IPO. Of course this happened right after I lost a Tempest in 0.0 to a Vagabond, so I had to leave 0.0 to get a new ship. I bought a Typhoon, which I lost to a lvl 3 (!) mission.
At that point, I was so ****ed off that I dumped 500 mil into an eve-radio game called "capitalism +" to try and get out of this hole I was in. Of course someone put in 800 mil, and I lost everything!
Moral of the series of unfortunate events: think twice before you buy, and keep a cool head in the face of adversity!

A corpmate picked up 10 Nemesis' for 6,000,000 total. Passed them out to the rest of us. Mine is still sitting in my hangar unassembled, awaiting a little more skill training. (Hey, I'm a miner/industrialist, Frigate V just isn't a priority atm....)
With Rev2 changes coming to stealth bombers, I may have to adjust my priorities.

Machariel BPC.
Seller wanted 350 Million.
I got it for 3.5 mil.
5 minutes later, same seller, domination disruptor, wanted 180m. I got it for the low low price of 1.8 mil.
Seller was a blatant ISK farmer FYI.
I have also got scores of +5 implant sets really cheap from these kinds of folks, they never even cursed me out after scamming them, no spamming local "OMG VOOGRU IS A SCAMMER" or none of that.
Of course, they had names like ajdjdkajdasd.
