Edited by: AtomizerX on 03/08/2008 21:49:55 Fair enough, I'll explain the numbers I got. But first, allow me to quote myself.
Originally by: AtomizerX ...I will repeat that the BP is ME2, which saves you roughly 1B (depending on how you procure the components) over a ME0 BP....
That's from the post right above yours....
Anyways, using a given set of material costs, a Nyx ME0 BP might cost just under 21.4B ISK to produce, a ME1 BP just under 20.6B ISK, and a ME2 BP a little over 20.3B ISK. Hence your numbers and my claim of ~1B ISK for a ME2 BP versus a ME0 one is substantiated.
I have updated the OP to clarify that the savings is versus a ME0 BP to prevent any further confusion.
Also, the Obelisk BPCs have now been sold. --- *BPCs for sale; see character's bio in-game for details. EVEMail if interested. **Nyx Thanatos Platforms |

Oh sorry didn't see :> Thing is the build cost decreases only 200 mil if you use a ME2 instead of a ME1 BPC, and ME1 BPC's go for ALOT less then 1.3 bil. I would be interested in buying a Nyx BPC but not for that kind of money :(

Right, so where would the benifit be in paying 1 billion more for your bpc then a me0 one be?

Fair enough. Shoot me an offer, in-game if you prefer to make it private.
If you can show me recent Nyx BPC sales (any ME levels) I would take those into consideration towards the current market value of the prints, but it is difficult finding them. Even if they sell on contracts you can only see current prices, not recently sold ones. The value I determined was based on the currently available contracts at a given point in time, which were all going for well over 1B, up to 1.5B as a matter of fact; now that doesn't mean they'll sell for that high, or that there aren't other ways of acquiring this print, but basically if you were to search for Nyx BPCs you'd see that others are priced similarly.
Again, I'm very open to negotiation, and the 1.5B number is ONLY my asking price. I consider it to be just like going in to buy a new car; you're going to negotiate down from the sticker price (or up from the invoice) and I'm only starting you out at 1.5B because I know you're going to want to pay less than that. Remember, when negotiating money the one who throws out the first number is going to lose; if I give a price you're going to want to negotiate down and if you suggest a price I'm going to try to work you up from there.
Originally by: Adm Tecumseh Right, so where would the benifit be in paying 1 billion more for your bpc then a me0 one be?
Well if a ME2 BPC saved you exactly 1B over a ME0 BPC and you bought a ME2 BPC for exactly 1B more than a ME0 BPC, you'd only break even. But if you paid up to 1B more you'd save money. I don't expect you to want to pay exactly 1B over the ME0 price, but it's not worth it to us to sell it for substantially less than the print is worth, which would be X+1B, where X is the value of a ME0 BPC. Since you're not happy with my asking price, I gladly welcome you to make me an offer, again either here or in-game if you prefer.
Keep in mind, guys, once we sell these BPCs we can continue to churn out more BPCs for you, and this includes BPC sets; eventually the BPO owner hopes to be able to sell you a complete Capital Parts set so you'd have everything you'd need to complete the Nyx, or Thanatos, or whatever. This ISK is not simply going into our wallets, it is being reinvested in our (his) industrial operation.

wut?wot? so all nyx sold for 17 bill are sold with a loss?
go do the math again mate you are about 10 bill off.

Eh, it's really easy to quote me out of context and change my meaning around.
Originally by: AtomizerX ...using a given set of material costs...
You'll notice that that line, which you so carefully omitted, indicates that the numbers provided hold true only for that specific set of circumstances. With different material costs, the end cost of producing the ship will of course differ. The numbers provided were only an example to illustrate how I came up with the relative values of the BPCs.
Also, you seem to forget that I'm only trying to sell BPs, not completed ships, so I really couldn't care less how much the final product is worth. If you can build it for less than that, then more power to you; give me an offer for the BPC based on what you think it's worth. If you don't want it, well, I'm afraid you're in the wrong thread.
If you think my math is off, why don't you provide some numbers to illustrate how you came up with a final cost of 10B ISK less? |

You got several of us awful confoosed my dear fellow capsuleer... it cost about 10 billion (roughly) in mineral cost (according to yesterday market mineral prices) to build a Mothership and thats kinda of a fact....
So uhmmm do show us your math of how you getting 20+ billion build cost.
P.S. fitted motherships are selling for around 16-17 bill on this same very forum, just FYI
P.S.S Free Bump

Ok, fair enough. Again, I must point out that I used the phrase, "...using a given set of material costs..." and this was to illustrate the potential difference in value of BPs at different Material Levels, not specifically the actual cost of building the ship (which is not my area of concern.) The source in question was MLCalc, and I will be the first to admit it's at most a rough estimate and at worst completely out-of-date. Nevertheless, the material costs, however off they may be, are constant within the program and thus I was able to estimate the relative values of each ML for this BP. Again, this is where the, "given set" comes into play.
The point is that if you're going to build the ship off the BPC I can't tell you exactly how much it's going to cost you as you may mine everything from scratch or purchase completed components at a greater cost.
Again, I'm not an S&I player; I'm simply trying to sell these items for an industry-oriented corp mate who's not as interested in sales as I am.
If you ARE interested in anything we have, tell me how much you want it for; I will add that we are now interested in selling some of the BPOs.
Thank you for your interest, and I apologize for any confusion. --- *BPCs for sale; see character's bio in-game for details. EVEMail if interested. **Nyx Outpost Platforms |

Unfortunately, we do not have the prints you need. We only have a Nyx and Thanatos BPO, and do not have any or all of the Capital Parts BPOs. In the future we do hope to have the types of parts sets you're seeking, but at this point I regret to say we cannot help you. --- *BPCs for sale; see character's bio in-game for details.

Friendly bump,
Dont worry about your pricing man. Most people dont realize how long it takes to make it ME 2. Carriers which im researching take 8 weeks per lvl of me/pe yuck.
Keep up the production!

Thanks for the support.
It does seem like people don't understand the time investment involved in these high-end BPs. I don't know the corp mate's skills at the time the research was done, but I know it took 6-8 months to get the Nyx BPO to ME2.
Prices for everything, from BPs to completed ships, seem to be dropping lower every day. A ME2 Nyx BPC used to be worth a few billion ISK.
P.S. It's been a while I've seen someone from Dead Parrot Shoppe. We used to fight against you guys (and others) when you were in BRUCE, over in Fountain/Aridia. Good luck wherever you guys are now! --- *BPCs for sale; see character's bio in-game for details. EVEMail if interested. **Nyx Outpost Platforms |
