Market Discussions

So, coming with Phoebe, CCP added various industrial goods to the exploration data site loot tables, to "buff" the value of these sites.

These industrial goods are:

- High-Tech Data Chip
- High-Tech Manufacturing Tools
- High-Tech Scanner
- High-Tech Small Arms


Unfortunately, to this day, nobody knows, what these things are good for and that's why most players rather consider them junk than valuable loot. Prices did reflect that, ranging between 1.000 and 5.000 ISK for these materials.

But with release of day 3 of the CSM9 Winter Summit Minutes on January the 22nd, things have changed:

"Sugar Kyle asked about the material they're gathering from hacking sites, and noted, that some people are worried they're collecting junk. CCP Affinity replied that it's not junk, and will be useful."

Based on this statement, i decided to give it a shot and bought a lot of this "junk".

Only yesterday there was a first spike in price (~400%). I don't know why this market reaction comes so late, but at least it's starting to move up.

So now, that i have my stockpile collected (), i want to share this with you.
Maybe some of you guys are interested in buying some of this stuff, while it's still cheap, before CCP makes changes to the game, to make them useful.


TL;DR
Buy "High-Tech" industrial goods, before CCP patches the game and their price skyrockets.

Well, first of all, High-Tech Transmitters are PI materials and not data site loot. So i didn't mean those. Just the 4 items mention in my first post.
Secondly, i didn't jack up anything. The price spike was another buyer entering the market, setting the buy orders 5 times higher.
