Market Discussions

Looking at the prices of T2 modules it seems that (unlike ships) their prices are still drifting downwards.

I appreciate that ships use rather a lot of minerals and so will be affected more by the recent mineral price rises, but I had'nt noticed that the prices of other materials used in module production were falling enough to explain this.

Maybe I've just looked at some 'unusual' modules,

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

The Fool

Speaking as a T2 manufacturer with a homemade spreadsheet that doesn't auto update prices, changing the mineral input prices changes very little on output cost. On most T2 modules, the margin is fairly good anyway; the profit bottleneck is in build time.

However, a change in moongoo items does carry a rather stiff change to T2 prices.

And this should make you wonder - is it really inflation (as in, too much extra ISK chasing too little additional product) or is it simply an adjustment in the manufacture cost of things (in particular, technetium, which accounts for the majority of ship production costs but little of item production costs) ?
Personally, I believe it's far more of the latter than the former (and that the rest of the moongoos will soon have to go downwards in price to accommodate the lowered demand due to price increases).
