Market Discussions

I have been keeping tabs on the absolute crash of the Datacore market. I have read a few threads regarding how far the prices will fall... I have also msged multiple people who have sold me batches of cores 15k or higher, trying to see whether we are still dealing with the massive RP cash in or are these rock bottom prices being carried now by FW...

The rough calculation as I understand it makes the avg core worth about 150k to buy through FW compared to ship prices. What I am wondering is as the minny ship prices fall from the increased FW points the militia receives would this constitute cashing in Datacores with a smaller profit margin?

So what do you guys think.... can the prices go any lower? are they going to stay this low? Are we still dealing with the RP cash in or are prices staying so low because its worth cashing in FW at these prices? Is the general 150k p/u not taking into consideration the increased FW points when using the x2/x4 multiplier like the Minny military currently has?

The new faction warfare changes have also made ALLOT of merchants happy, there's lots more room for competition everywhere, if you think you can make it =)

When you say 25 per core do you mean any ones or just Minnie starship?

But look on the bright side: if you're an R&D skilled pilot, six months of skills mean you can earn 2.5k ISK per data core even at rock bottom prices, assuming no one's dumping

So dump all those mechanical engineering RPs. Switch to laser physics, and join the Minmatar militia. Use your profits from laser physics to subsidise your razing of Minmatar FW ISK/LP conversion.

Adapt or die.

amarr seems like they are starting to get their **** together. minnies have dropped back and forth from 3 to 4 the last few days. might see them at 3 more often in the near future.

thats very interesting. how would you look to see what items are limited to what side? i know someone mentioned the cores for minnie but what about the other 3?

look at this chart at the bottom http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=28659

Maybe, although the price spikes are definitely from people trying to get in ahead of the game on what they see as an incoming spike.

Contrary to everything I said earlier, actually, what we discovered was that Mech Cores are a very robust market. We set out to flatten it and...couldn't. It'd bounce back, and there was also little evidence that OTHER players were dumping cores. That suggests to me that FW players aren't generally buying them, so who knows if demand is actually being met anymore.

Haha. Yes.

Patch notes say it's everyone.
