I was thinking about buying the decryptors "assemble instruction", the best decryptors for minmatar inventions a week ago. The price was 50 mil. and I thought it would be too high. Over night someone bought all decryptors and all of a sudden the new price was 94 mil. Now a few more days later the price is 112 and still increasing.
At these prices I would think twice about buying some. Some ppl bought some of them for 41-45 mil and less like me (I jsut did not buy enough of them) before this forcing up of prices begun. I am not sure, whether the best run decryptors are worth these prices. I do not think so. I did not compare other racial decryptors, but I would not be surprised, if the same happened with other decryptors.
It would be funny, if CCP seeded more of these decryptors. The market manipulators might have a problem then with their overpriced decryptors.

This isn't market "manipulation" this is normal market forces.
There are _alot_ of people getting ready for invention of the new T2 ships. These market forces can be seen in POS materials as well.

What i find most amusing, is that people wait until two days before a patch before buying all the "cool gadgets" to use in patch.
Whats that old saying? "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part"

These ppl, who want to buy now, I am talking to. If one of them does not step in the trap, I am already satisfied and the mainpulators get less profit. 
I do not see the same market manipulation happening in t2 components for minmatar. There are a lot more suppliers for this. With plasma thrusters somebody tried it, but he failed.
Which pos materials you mean?

I dont see any market-manipulation in buying alot of decryptors. I stockpiled all my decryptors i found when i heard that they will get a push towards the chance multiplier and ME in Trinity. Ppl which buy decryptors now want to do the same thing, they want to maximize their profit. I'm quite sure a week after the patch alot of them will be resold for higher prices :) Hmmm maybe i'll do the same, or maybe i'll wait till they are not available in COSMOS plexes anymore, that should give out more profit :))) Is that mean . . .noooo it's marketing.

Why do they need to be manipulators? eh?
You can NOW go on Sisi and test-invent some BS..
With this data at hand, you can very accurately calculate what it costs you to build such a T2 BS. Then you calculate a nice markup and voila you can see what components for the whole process can cost how much..
And if anything is cheaper than this value NOW ON TQ, then you would be an idiot not to buy it NOW..

Just wait.
The market will stabilize itself. Just dont buy decryptors for such prices and you will give the resellers some headaches.
The prices will get on a normal niveau sooner or later.

The price of the best-chance decryptors always changed with the possible profit from the best invention they could be used for. That bar was simply raised with the jumpfreighters.
Unless the supply far outweights the need for tech 2 capital construction, I doubt we'll see the 40-50m days again for quite a while.

I'd favour T2 battleships over jump freighters as determining the cost of the best chance decryptors, as the market for them is going to be far larger. To put it another way, people could buy all the ones they needed for JF invention and there'd still be lots left over.

JF invention will use the best ME decryptors instead of the best change decryptors unless decryptor prices jump severely.
For most invention the cost of invention outweighs the material costs of building the output by a good margin. In the case of jump freighters the build cost will outweigh the invention cost so it makes sense to use the best ME decryptor instead of the best chance.

It's funny how people try to warn others of "market manipulation", as if they would make a difference.
For starters, not a great deal of people read the forums carefully or throughly enough to matter for a "resale boycott".
Second, in this particular case, it's not even manipulation, as "manipulation" would imply no true value increase... the exact opposite is happening with decryptors, their true value (i.e. "ISK saved" in a certain type of invention job) will skyrocket.
To put it this way, you still stand to make a *profit* by choosing a 100-130 or even 150 mil "best chance" decryptor over a 15-20 mil "most bonus runs" decryptor in battleship invention.
So, it's not market manipulation, it's people realizing just how much better they will be after the patch compared to how good they are now, and price changing accordingly.

Last time I calculated, one ME level on jumpfreighters was around 150m worth of stuff. So yes, it saves you around 600m to build it, but you only get a single run.
Best Chance:
- 2x Freighter BPC = 400m
- 2x 128 Datacores = 260m
- 5 output runs => 132m invention cost per run
(82.5m if you go with an average chance of 80% instead of 50%)
Best ME:
- 3x Freighter BPC = 600m
- 2x 128 Datacores = 390m
- 1 output run => 990m invention cost per run
(49% average chance in the scenario that results in 80% with the best chance decryptor: 675m)
So yeah, you save 600m to build it but pay 858m more to invent it.
Using the second set of numbers (44.4% chance after skills, resulting in 80% with best chance and 49% with best ME decryptor) a Jumpfreighter is in fact cheaper with the best ME ones - by 7.5m ISK.
But it is only one per Freighter BPC instead of 5.
Assuming 500m profit per jumpfreighter (lol) the best chance one could cost 1.5bn and the best ME one 1m, and the best-chance would still earn you more money per invention run. Factoring in lost profits from production slots used for four jumpfreighters instead of other stuff it does get a bit complicated but at least for the first couple of months my bet would still be on the best chance decryptor.
The old 0.8 chance ones might be the true contenders. 3 output runs and still 2 ME levels better as best chance. Anyone some math on these? But copy times alone will drive a lot of people into best chance ones anyway.
Oh, and if we see jumpfreighter or t2 battleships as the price bar for decryptors doesn't matter. In both cases possible margins are way ahead of current HAC profits and it adjusted accordingly. So no manipulation. Just some educated speculation on initial sales prices and demand.

I agree with the OP in that yes it probably is market manipulation. There's increased demand sure, but some of the price-hike is probably due to resellers too.
However, this is a very normal and expected move in the market that happens every time a new patch comes out. People cashing in on other people's lack of planning and the increased demand is hardly anything new.
The market speculators take a risk as you've pointed out, and only those stupid souls who don't know the historical value and potential value of those decryptors will actually lose money.

exactely. I can not prove properly, it is manipulationed. I wrote this to bait some people here. But it is a fact, the market was not moving a long time (months) and all of a sudden in 1 night almost 100 % and later more. This is not normal. Think, it would happen to a stock, you bought. Most likely a reseller did it. Also it was a good move to ged rid of some inventers, who do not have billions of isk to buy the decryptors at the current prices.
So other question: you think the decryptors at the new prices are profitable for BS invention? numbers? (for everything else they are not)

whatever you pretend, rising prices for more than 100 % in such a short time is not normal. Someone stated, this did not happen with caldari decryptors. I will wait, how my first invention jobs with the assembly instructions, I bought, turn out. If I have a good success rate, I might buy more, if not, I let it be.
Anyway CCP should seed more of these best decryptors to make those snags, who sell these decryptors now, uncomfortable.

Sylramic Fibres jumped from 120 to 250 in one night.
Fernite carbide jumped from 70 to 200 in one night.
Ferrogel jumped from 6000 to 12000 in one night.
Plasma Thrusters jumped from 12000 to 42000 in one night.
These are just *some* of the *common* occurances I see on the market. It's not unusual

Y'know, I'd love it if in the middle of a fleet battle in 0.0, if CCP just suddenly seeded a horde of Dire Guristas ships of all classes, or better yet, CONCORD vessels, hostile to the winning side.
Or better yet, for those who've gone to a helluva lot of effort to secure, say, Dysprosium moons, that CCP suddenly decides to seed more.
Just because someone's plans are working doesn't mean the game is broken. It just means you're doing it wrong.

Nice. You conveniently ignore the fact that 20 new T2 types are coming out tomorrow, and every inventor and his mother are gathering supplies to cash in on them. You don't think that just maybe, some of these guys waited until the last minute?
This is not manipulation. This is supply and demand with expectations of uncertain supply, and some manipulation on the side.
Oh, and you do know they're rebalancing all decryptors for Trinity, right?

Well, I'm not sure if the COSMOS changes will already happen with the deployment of Trinity. Up to now the changes are only mentioned in the post of chronotis (Linkage), but not in the patch notes. All whats written there is : Various dungeons have been adjusted and optimized as part of the Need for Speed initiative. I personally think and hope the increase of the radar sites spawn is just the first step of the aforementioned COSMOS change and decryptors will be removed from COSMOS at a later time. We will see what happens, it's senseless to spread around rumors.

It is still not normal. Otherwise you could predict this. Could you tell me, which items will be the next with + 100 % ? I mean, you say it is normal, then it is no secret and you can tell everybody. 
It is amusing, how you guys try to deny the existance of resellers and call all these surprising changes normal supply and demand and hope ppl stay quiet. Some sudden price changes maybe happen, because a powerful producer needs all, but certainly not all. Btw. you still did not say, when the price for the assembly instructions decryptor would be too high, if it is not already.

Who does deny their existance?
Yes, they try to monopolize a market for a certain time for maximising their profits.. what is your problem with that? do they use an exploit? Do they use anything else than the game mechanics for this and some thought?
See..

If it's "too" high it just wouldn't be bought.. finito.. then demand falls and prices have to follow somewhen later, as even the hard-rock-reseller needs VOLUME besides the profit to make some decend iskies..
Profit without Volume is useless.
Example: I could charge more then a 40% markup for some of my stuff, as the others try here at my local hub (100% and more  ).. but bet who makes the volume and the iskies, where they sell way less than me

Thanks for your xls, by the way.
Imho, we can't really way which decryptor is best at freighter invention for the moment, because:
- We don't know what the base chance for freighters is.
- We don't know what the material costs in isks of invention and production, since the components prices will move a lot in the next few weeks/months.

Sure, I'll do that if you *really* want. Because I've scored well in the past off materials such as Crystalline Carbide, Titanium Carbide, Hypersynaptic Fibres etc.. Sure market flows are no secret, but it only disadvantages myself to reveal when these *might* happen. It's a skill to identify them, and I'm pretty amateur at it tbh, but i can do it well enough for my market.
Of course I can't accurately predict anything besides Advanced Materials, however careful observation of *any* of EVE's markets, particularly the manufacturing ones, will quickly reveal their ebbs and flows.
Will I actually tell you how? No, because that'd be the PvP equivalent of me saying "Hey, my Badger will be jumping through Low Sec space carrying a full load of zydrine at this location and time. I move at these times because it's safe",, shortly before every pirate comes and shoots me up.
Needless to say I make a point of those ones because, as an industrialist, I capitalised massively. Most recent score was nabbing a months worth of Crystalline carbide at 70ish before the price spiked the next day to 120. I've been living quite happily off my Sylramic Fibres which I picked up at 98 before the price spiked to 180, back down to 130ish, and now the most recent spike to 250. These are advantages I won't reveal the key to identifying.
Oh, and for the record, I'm not in collaboration with any market fixers. This is purely my own speculation on markets to achieve those prices.

Lets put it bluntly. If i could be sure that
"we are moving decryptors from COSMOS to Exploration" doesnt mean "they will drop in batches of 100 all over highsec", you wouldnt see a single (useful) decryptor below 300 m on market...
i wouldnt even resell them, i would use them, then gouge on the ships.

Funny thing is, with the "improved" decryptor values, using any decryptor is better as using no decryptor at all in ship invention (prior to Trinity buffs, you could actually be at a loss with two, even three of them, compared to no decryptor).
Right now, the only deterimining factor on which decryptor to use is decryptor price, since all save you some money if they're cheap enough (depends a lot on what ships you invent too).
As for the amounts... the official word was they will be MOVED.
It was explained it literally means same amount will drop overall in exploration as it used to drop from COSMOS canisters.
So, unless the dev lied (which I doubt) or was misinformed (which I doubt more since he was the supposed responsable)... you get the idea.
The only "thing" might be that they could have changed their mind since then, which I also doubt because of the "decryptors are a luxury" comments made recently.
So, the only way to price-gouge massively is if you manage to price-gouge *ALL* decryptors of a certain race, and you can only do that gouging to the level where inventing without a decryptor begins to be almost as profitable (so they shouldn't even bother buying from you).

Anyway, most decryptor prices should be exploding upwards by now... since, as usual, only a small fraction of the userbase has the decency to PLAN things ahead properly, read the forums, watch the news, etc.
All the rest should be now frantically buying decryptors even higher than "respectable" priced ones, so they can be "the first on the market".

I'm going to guess that people underestimated how many decryptors would be found in exploration. Either that or the demand prior to the patch was HEAVILY HEAVILY HEAVILY influenced by speculation rather than actual consumption. Speculation is all fine and dandy when there is going to be an actual price increase, but you've all heard of pump and dump before? That's when ALL of the demand IS speculation. I know many of the COSMOS farmers weren't actually selling any of the decryptors they farmed at all. They were convinced the prices would go sky high, so they farmed and farmed and hoarded. Now they're selling off.

Demand spike, stocks previously in hands of market players or COSMOS farmers, price soaring "above respectable price" as I was saying.
Right now pretty much all "heavy users" of decryptors have what they needed stockpiled, so now it's a heavy demand drop.
At the same time, since decryptors are dropped from exploration instead of COSMOS, people who do exploration shocked by the "unexpected treasure" start to sell them fast for a quick buck, below true worth, at whatever level buy orders are.
They'll slowly go back up again, once explorers start to realise what they have on their hand, and as heavy-duty inventors start wearing out their stockpiled decryptors.
I fully expect a "stabilistation price" somewhere in the 70-mil range.

Yes, but I've also said "right now, the only deterimining factor on which decryptor to use is decryptor price, since all save you some money if they're cheap enough (depends a lot on what ships you invent too)."
You won't be using "best chance" decryptors *only* in battleship invention (although, their usage there will be the most common, I really doubt more than a handfull of BS invention jobs will use any other decryptors), this means it's a matter of "number of BS invention jobs vs number of best chance decryptors available".
Since I really doubt there's more BS invention jobs per day on average for a certain empire compared to how many best chance decryptors are getting traded daily for that "race", this means some of them get used in "less savings" jobs too.
Overall, this means the price equilibrium is somewhere between "best relative savings" and the "second best" alternative.
Also, "true value" is not an absolute term, note how I was specifically saying "in a certain type of job".
The "true value" of a best chance decryptor is not the same for a BS job (highest value), a CS job (moderate value), a frigate job (small value) or even a module job (minimal value).
So... there's no contradiction in my previous statements
I was simply speaking of "long-term trends" mostly, mentioning current price/savings levels... you seem to focus on current price levels exclusively.

Other question: what happened to your forecast prices for datacores - mechanical engineering would increase? Look at hte market, they decrease, too. Anyway, I am sure, you will have for this also an explanation, whcih fits allegedly to what you were saying before.

Actually, Shadarle has a much better explanation, over in the market forum.
Bottom line, I heavily underestimated supply based on volumes traded, seems like a huge amount of people held of selling until after the patch in hopes of a quick buck.
It's the reverse of a self-fulfilling prophecy
One that, if enough people hear about it, and act upon it with intention on catching a profet, is bound to end up false.
Short version : I was wrong

I dont think you were wrong Akita. The prices will increase but it will take some time. Alot of decryptors were moved from other trade hubs to Jita during the last days because prices there incresed more than somewhere else. So now they are decreasing due to the big supply and less demand. Lets wait, i'm very sure sooner or later the prices for decryptors will raise.

Decryptors may increase (supply is variable), datacores have nowhere to go but down. (Supply is infinite until they drop low enough)

Halfway correct:
Supply is limited by the number of people who actually bother to get science skills and research agents, and there is the same drain as for decryptors (being used up in Invention).
This said, collecting datacores is easy money and
I expect the supply to increase. Some missionrunners in my corp have acquired science skills only for this purpose.
But at some point, prices will drop so low that people rather put their skills in other areas. Except for the producers of course who need science skills anyway. So I think we will end up with stable prices below the current ones.

Sorry to disappoint you, but that too is an utterly routine activity. People getting burned because the market failed to meet lofty expectations? Happens all the time. All these price fluctuations both up and down are normal for upgrades where you have both a huge group of people who don't really know the details and hidden surprises for even the knowledgeable (like the exploration loot changes). And you can see them in normal trade too. For small or isolated markets even the entry of a single corporation or player can skew the pricse greatly.

And as long as people pay the same price for a ME-6 marauder run as they pay for a ME-1 marauder run (i.e. stupid consumers at the moment), you'd have to build your own ships, not just invent them.
Besides, the bottleneck is in building, not invention
The market is flooded with bloueprints almost nobody can build yet (a few started building one/two days ago, more to come soon).
