I read recently that Tritanium had a fixed maximum price at 3.6 ISK per unit whereby the price of NPC sold shuttles would make it cheaper to refine them than buy Tritanium.
I assume this is true for all the other minerals as well, although more complicated as any other item will contain more than 1 mineral type.
I am most interested in the cap for Mexallon as it is currently selling at over 35 ISK per unit, over twice the price it was a few months ago (14 ISK per unit).
With Zydrine, Megacyte, Noxium and soon Pyrite at low values I am looking for a new source of Mexallon or modules I can profitably refine to get significant quantities of it.
So does anyone know what the price cap is for mexallon? or any modules that use a high percentage of mexallon to build?
Thanks

The people who knows it will most likely not share the information unless the current price is far from the cap level.

Mex is quite far from NPC cap. Also Pyerite (pyerite cap is somewhere around 15 and mex one even further from npc baseprice). Only thing viably capped (for the moment) by NPC sell orders is trit.
Should trit price rise sginifically however NPC cap's for other minerals from NPC sell orders shift somewhat down (items you can refine yield usually some amount of trit also). Assuming those items are still for sale if trit cap is removed (in the form of shuttles currently).

also note that while npcs sell a signifigant amount of shuttles, everytime their market orders need to be reset, the prices go up.
So, while there is a 'theoretical' trit cap in place, it can always go higher if the demand gets big enough. It'd need to be really, super, huge though. :)

True... not that huge; the NPC shuttle sell order price in Oursulaert III was up to over 10000 isk / shuttle yesterday for that very reason (I guess)

The best possible Mineral cap on Mexallon that I can think of would be in the realm of ammo, or possibly in Drones. I've not checked either one though.
Isn't it scarry how far up these minerals have gone, And its only going to get worse once RevIII comes out (T2 battleships = Higher BS prices, but also higher Mineral prices too :) )

NPC refineables top caps are at ROUGHLY x1.8 base value, if not "taxed" by steady purchases.
But since you won't find NPC refineables that only a single mineral (except Tritanium), things get even more complicated, and actual price caps can be even further up.
At their LOWEST possible top cap (i.e. it's usually higher than this), you have:
Trit 3.6 (getting close, and if shuttle repro starts kicking in badly, it will go higher as NPC prices are variable too)
Pye 14.4 (current market average under 5.1, MIGHT go as low as 4.5 easily)
Mex 57.6 (but since it's in mix with some Pye too usually, actually around 65-70)
the rest are just too far off above current caps to even start calculating
For all intents and purposes, the ONLY mineral capped upwards right now is Tritanium.
And there's talks about possibly "relaxing" that cap even further.
Which, some argue, would be very bad... as it would lead to even sharper drop in highends prices.
