Maybe I am the only nerd in the game who runs a spreadsheet of minerals & costs needed to build a specific ship.

A day or so ago, I was looking at the Procurer bpc I have and noticed that the minerals needed to build it is much higher than before Retribution. The odd thing is that the market is showing before Retribution prices for the Procurer but on new sell orders. And those bpc's I bought well before the latest expansion.

So are builders not aware of the change or what is going on here?

People made thousands of them pre-patch and the sock hasn't been used up, so until that happens (6 - 12 months minimium) it will not be profitable to make most T1 barges.

Or they could price at the current cost now instead of the pre-Retribution cost. That would be a lot more profit.

Yeah someone does that. Then someone .01 isk their price, then .01 isk their price and so on until you have below their current value, but still way above pre-patch value.

Procurers also hardly get used these days. Well not frequently used and more importantly not frequently destroyed.

I suspect they made hundreds of thousands, not merely thousands.

Procurers also aren't in high demand, so it'll be quite some time before the pre-patch surplus is depleted, compared to Retrievers which returned to normal after AFAIK a couple of months.
