I'm a recent arrival in the eve universe, and I bought my first BPC copy yesterday - a drake 1 run ME 50 jobbie
I intend to build it for personal use, but out of interest I had a look at what I could make selling it using 'Murtons Production Calculator'
With PE of 5 build cost is 37,937,174.75. Even if the Drake could sell for it's list price of 38m thats less than 1% return.
Ok fair enough I could probably do a bit better if I searched around for the minerals - but a quick look at the market and loads of Drake's are on sale for less than 30m
What am i missing? How can someone sell something that costs 38m for 29m

it might help us analyze your problem if you let us know the individual mineral prices you used in your calculations cuz 29mil sounds about right and 37mil is horribly unless you're PE is not 5 but like 1 or 2

you will have mineral waste if you dont have Production Efficiency lvl 5
that means you will spend alot more minerals to build the ship ---------------------------------- Fighting for Minmatar o7 Yes... this is my main. Extreme Troll Slayer...

Eve-Central is a good place to keep up to date on prices of everything. 27 mil sounds about right, not sure what the production limit is on that, but you could buy the minerals for several of them, make them, and sell them all for a nice little 4-5 mil profit each. =)

My build cost (if I were to buy all the minerals from the cheapest sell orders) is 29,912,000 ISK (rounded to the nearest 1000 isk).
Less obviously if you're setting up mineral buy orders or going to the ends of lowsec etc to get some minerals. But IMO the cost of 'easily' available minerals represents the least something is ever worth built.
I know there are some 0.0 regions where things do sell below cost, especially when people who own them can't access those stations anymore ;) Great time for bargains.
