Invention profits have nothing to do with BPO owners. The amount of supply from BPO owners is miniscule in comparison to the demand on all but the most dodgy of products.
So if you removed all the BPOs tomorrow, invention would be no more profitable. It's actually the 10,000 odd inventors that will force the profits right back down to near 0 again. And invention is still profitable, provided you find items the other inventors have ignored.

I'm thinking that a lot of the BPO owners knew this was going to happen since within the past weeks leading up to the patch everyone seemed to be selling their ammo BPO's (and now even more so). As a buyer you probably want to know why someone would sell a t2 BPO if it's still making isk.
Alot of them weren't making isk though, some of the T2 ammo is downright worthless and is sold for within 0.5% of the build cost. With this change there is a small chance that they will start making money again, although most of the flaws are with the ammo themselves so they won;t make big money until the ammo is fixed.
People were selling T2 ammo BPOs that you could run copies of from now until the end of eve, and unless something is done to buff the ammo, they'd make never make the asking price back.

If you would analyze the market, you would realize that your problem is too much competition in a market where supply is significantly higher than demand. Try finding a product that 50,000 other inventors aren't cranking out all day long, and trying selling them in a station without a dozen other sell orders for the same thing.
I'm looking at Ice Harvester II prices in my region right now. There are no T2 BPO's for those. When I started inventing them, I was able to make 75% profit on them. Reasonable, when considering the investment in time and skills to produce them. I could sell them faster than I could make them.
Now I'm looking at market averages which show large batches on sale for less than invention and build cost, even providing 100% success rate. Demand has remained the same over the last six months, but supply has increased several times over. Prices have dropped through the floor as a result.
So guess what? I stopped building them and found something else to manufacture.

Gridwalker, it's useless.
EVERYONE just remember everything you mine, moon harvest, copy is free. Datacores are free, LP are free.
Just do me a favor and make sure your prices reflect that.
