Lately, I''ve been building and selling a lot of shuttles and mining frigates.
I can understand people buying up the frigates in advance of the rebalancing.
But, I'm curious, why people are buying up shuttles?

are shuttles reprocessing for more than you're selling them at?

I've been selling them at a 50% markup over the cost of the materials.

One of my first trading activities in Eve was buying frigates and hauling them to stations that didn't have any. I'd guess this is still a popular entry-level business for new traders.

That isn't unusual for a shuttle.

I'm guilty of paying 100% to 300% for them when I really want one (faster to AFK than a rookie ship).
